What does some crappy bowl win mean at this point? We are paying a premium for a coach that needs to deliver more, and I'm talking finances here, not necessarily wins and losses. You can't put 13k in the stands right now, Metry. It's not just about winning football games. We can get 6-6 with a bowl appearance for a lot cheaper than a Million per.. Hell, Rickey Bustle was 6-6.

I am not disagreeing. I am just pointing out the optics. What seem like a no brainer to a fan may not seem the same to a university president or a booster required to come up with a seven figure sum. HUD is easily one of the worst recruiters in D1 football. We see it every week where we are out manned. Winning in the SBC is not about the X and O’s, it is the Jim’s and Joes. We don’t have them and HUD can’t deliver them.

Rickey Bustle was 6-6.

Key regular season difference:

Bustle got to 6-6 once

Hud fell below 6-6 once

[ULvictory]

Another key difference:

-Bustle was paid 1/4 of Hud's salary

-Bustle had no APC to recruit to

-Bustle had a much smaller overall budget to work with

-During Bustle's tenure, there were fewer bowls to get invited to. 5-7 teams in bowl games are the norm now.

Right now, we are paying Hud 4x the salary for the same exact results. I'm not saying that Bustle was the answer, but we are definitely underachieving for the resources that we have at the moment.

Key regular season difference:

Bustle got to 6-6 once

Hud fell below 6-6 once

The point is it’s time to move FORWARD.

Like it was said above, Hud can’t deliver anymore. Let’s thank him for what he’s done and move on.

This is completely Huds program now. Couple coaches left from when he’s got here. All players he’s recruited.

We can do better and move forward. Is it too much to want to be competitive in the Sunbelt???? A bowl game does not matter to me if we can’t beat Monroe at home, etc. Have you been to Monroe’s stadium? They have nicer facilities at high schools. If we don’t respect ourselves, who will respect us?

When Hud said he couldn’t do any worse at quarterback than the players HE recruited, HE coached, HE gameplanned for, what does that say about his leadership NOW???!??

EVERYTHING is about NOW. Not the past.

It’s about Maggard finding us a new coach.

Key regular season difference:

Bustle got to 6-6 once

Hud fell below 6-6 once

And $800k less

Bustle was approaching a half mil.

Same point though.

Key difference:

Bustle was sound on fundamentals but poor on motivation.

Hud sounds good on motivation but is poor on coaching fundamentals.

Bustle was approaching a half mil.

Same point though.

Key difference:

Bustle was sound on fundamentals but poor on motivation.

Hud sounds good on motivation but is poor on coaching fundamentals.

Everyone making under a mill is approaching A mill .. 226k is very far from a mill

How can anyone take you seriously?

LMAO. I know every fan base has its kooks, but these are the type of dopes that "support" our athletic programs.. And of course, the pussee didn't leave his name. SHOCKER

Baloney! Stop repeating a narrative that is not true! After Jan1st his contract stipulates if UL buys him out. they have until the end of 2020 to buy him out in monthly installments. The cost comes to $500K per year unless Savoie demands the entire amount be paid up front. If he does, then the hit on next year's ticket sales and lost RCAF donations are entirely on him. If they can brag about the $7 million in total RCAF donations this year, I don't want to hear his BS about $500K!

What did I say that is not true? The buyout IS seven figures, hud IS a terrible recruiter and our personnel IS barely above a FCS team.

What did I say that is not true? The buyout IS seven figures, hud IS a terrible recruiter and our personnel IS barely above a FCS team.

According to 247 Football Recruiting, we are ranked 11th of 12 in the Sunbelt recruiting rankings for 2018.

Nationally we are ranked #132. A bunch of FCS schools are ahead of us. No excuses. We have all of the P5 amenities and we have an urban campus in one of the most talent rich states for football.

No matter what a coach may say, 3 & 4 star recruits matter.

No excuses anymore!
