UL Football Coach Mark Hudspeth Fired

[RaginCajun77]

Stone cold Maggard doing work. Dropped my season tickets this year. Getting them back next year. Good job Maggard. Let's do this the right way

Beyond Maggard and Savoy, I’m sure there are others to thank. 1.5 mil is a big deal for UL to pay a coach to go away. Others had to help put this all together, not just the money. Thanks to all.

Thanks to Hud for showing winning can happen here. A series of dumb events landed us here. At least we didn’t sink to the point we got soiled with ESPN’s bottom 10.

Shoutout @ULCoachHud on turning a program around and giving me ample opportunity. Thank you✊🏼

MAT, agreed. I'm done with calling T JOE the other name.

I said last year that Joe Savoie's legacy would be saving UL athletics.. I think you're seeing the fruits of that already..

Dion, no one would blame you for leaving.

Wonder when RCAF members get email

Or care.

And therein is the microcosm of what cost Hud the job. Tail wagging the dog. HUD allowing this, the cutback in conditioning drills, the video, and goodness knows what else.

Thanks coach Hud. Geaux Cajuns geaux Maggard.

I'm thankful that Dr. Savoie has trust in Dr. Maggard to do his job. That hasn't been the case at UL and Athletics has paid the price.

Finally we're serious about our athletic program. Thank you T-Joe, thank you Dr. Maggard, and thank you Coach Hud for giving us a taste of what success feels like.

Maggard getting work done.

Now let’s make a home run hire and pack Cajun Field.

Move to RB

And therein is the microcosm of what cost Hud the job. Dog wagging the tail. HUD allowing this, the cutback in conditioning drills, the video, and goodness knows what else.

5 quarterbacks hitting the field when you need roster spots elsewhere was another what else.

UL athletic director Bryan Maggard cites inconsistent play this season, dwindling attendance and financial support of program among reasons for the firing of coach Mark Hudspeth.
