Possible candidates for Cajuns football coaching vacancy

[CajunNation]

I'm all in on Canada. My second choice would be Pry and I also really like this Henson guy from OSU.

I fully recognize the fact that none of us know how the interviews are going behind closed doors. I'm just going off of resumes and bios I find online. And on paper, Canada sure does seem like the most exciting option.

Agree on all counts.

Canada is a Grand Slam hire.

Pry is a Home Run hire.

Henson is base clearing Triple.

Who is the guy who hits into a double play with a guy on 1st and 3rd with 1 out

My guess is Lance Guirdy

Canada's record....

Named OC NIU 2011. NIU 2011 MAC Champs.

Named OC Wisconsin 2012. Wisconsin 2012 BIG10 Champs.

OC NC State 2013-2015. 3 of the most productive offensive years in history of school.

Named OC Pitt 2016. Only offensive coach in the 5 finalists for Asst. Coach of the Year award.

Named OC LSU 2017. Turns completely dysfunctional offense around.

He's not just an x and o guru. He has a history of QB development. At NC State he took a QB that had fizzled out elsewhere and turned him into the QB that is starting for the Colts, Jacoby Brissett.

Can't argue with this......

Keep in mind that unless we know these HC candidates personally or we are speaking to someone who knows them well we on this,fan site are basically "hiring" off of a piece of paper....we won't get to interview them. There are a good amount of outstanding resumes that I've read.....I'm highly encouraged and like our chances of aquiring a great coach to take us to the next level.......

In the end, that's what we all want, a coach to take us to the next level. It's not an easy thing to do and many excellent coaches would fail. It's a difficult job that Maggard has, to find that rare coach that can take a G5, with very little history on the national seen, and limited resources (currently), and take them to their full potential. That potential, here at UL, is higher than most G5's and many P5's, I believe. It can be done with the right Coach(s), and the right administration.

That's why state hired him in the first place, he has a tremendous record in succeeding wherever he went. I have no idea if he can be a leader or recruit, but I like his ability on offense, which I think is critical on this hire.

[CajunEXPRESS]

Everybody will have their views on what type of recruiter Hud was. One thing I do credit him for is getting kids in here who were more physically ready to play. He brought in a better level of athlete, particularly on defense in my opinion. Under Bustle we had to continuously reposition guys to fit a scheme. We had to take a DE and make them DT. We had to take OLB and make them DE and so on. Bustle couldn't recruit the DL and Linebacker positions specifically and it showed. Hud came in and found guys who were physically ready to play immediately if need. He recruited the skill positions pretty well also. Yeah, he lost some guys to the schools mentioned but he also got some guys too.

Who cares what coaches Hud, and Bustle did? We just fired one for failure just like Bustle.

One thing, I’ll always be grateful to coach Bustle for SAVING Louisiana football. He inherited 48 scholarship players. Our program was on life support.

Oh and just for MAT, I do like Sumlin. 😀

LSU went from the 71st ranked offense to 54th under Canada. Marginal improvement at best.

And the Colts are abysmal under Jacoby Brissett, and he is only starting because of injuries to Andrew Luck, an actual starting QB in the NFL.

You seem to be doing contract work for Orgeron to get this guy hired away. If they want him gone, that's every reason not to hire him. Let him rot in Refineryville.

Do we know the reasons they want him gone in Refineryville? I suspect Hud ran off some good coaches as well.

And thinking this through, if it ends up being that he's a coach who was screwed-over by Refineryville, he might put those negative feelings to good work here.

At the end of the day, I'm going to trust Maggard's decision to do what's best for us.

I have no favorite right now because the hire may not be among those names. All of these guys bring something to the table and are certainly qualified. I'm going to wait until we can verify a few names before picking a favorite.
