FB Final: Louisiana 24, Texas State 7

I like Nunez, but he's on the same level of the Jordan Davis from the first 2.5 games. We really need that guy back if we're going to beat the better teams in our league.

Without all the interceptions and better poise when the pocket collapses. There is no doubt in my mind that Nunez is playing better.

Oh wow, thought we lost from reading this thread. Pleasantly surprised.

I missed the game and visited here last night. I knew we had won when I saw under 100 post on this thread. We hate the coach so much we are now reduced to complaining about margin of victory.

If the D or O are doing well it’s because HUD is letting the coordinators do their job. If either falters it’s because he is inserting himself. This is an indisputable fact that we all know with absolute certainty.

Or he is a pretty good coach that sometimes meddles where he shouldn’t but does some good things also.

I can’t decide which it is

Haha. On offense. 1Q- Hall calling plays. 2Q-3Q - Hud calling plays. 4Q - Hall takes play calling duties for TD drive.
On defense HUD seems to take over scheme after we make a few stops. Once we give up a long pass he usually backs down and lets the defensive coordinator resume calling plays.

When we win, it is in SPITE OF -- NOT BECAUSE OF - Hud

I have done my share of criticizing Hud on this site just as most have. I have been neck deep in my sharing of my own frustrations in watching this team the last 2+ years but I also think you have to give them credit when it is due. The turnaround they've made the last couple weeks on defense has been pretty impressive. Yards have been drastically and we've given up a quarter of the points per game over the last two that we did prior to that. Whatever reason you want to give for that turnaround, that is hopefully here to stay, he should get some credit for it.

I agree with everything you said.

Agree, but perhaps with Willis coming in Hud has finally stopped micromanaging that side of the ball?

There is no question in my mind that if we have been playing defense this sound from the beginning we could very easily be 5 and 1 at this point. And I agree,my having been the recepient of criticism and praise, Hud and the staff deserve credit for the last 2 weeks. Just as they deserved the criticism for the first 4 games.

All of these corrections are symptom corrections. They do NOT address the disease.
IF Hud would have learned SEVERAL years ago - and followed what he should have learned - that he is not a details coach and to allow his position coaches and coordinators to COACH, we would:
1. Not have YEARLY "slow starts"
2. Completely different outcomes / results for each quarter of every game
3. 8-10 game wins for the past 3 years
4. And (for Hud fans), little to no talk of firing Hud.
