UL Football Coach Mark Hudspeth Fired

[Cajunfanatico]

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.

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 A.D. Bryan Maggard on 63-14 loss Saturday to Appalachian State: "That game didn't end up like anybody wanted it to," but was not "sole reason" for firing of coach Mark Hudspeth

UL A.D. Bryan Maggard said it was his "recommendation" that coach Mark Hudspeth be relieved of duties, and that school president Joseph Savoie was supportive of that suggestion
