Its all good shof, I couldn't resist. Give your boy some slack sometimes!

_ $1 million? We are crazy if we pay a coach that much. Our program has a ways to go before we can afford that price tag. _

1 million for the coach and his staff together, not just for the head coach!

_ Mike Huckabee? _

now, that there is funny, yes sir.

I like all but #1, #3, and #6. I think Dana Holgorson would be a great hire, but not sure we can afford him. Terry Bowden, interesting, can't argue with his success, but there must be a good reason no other D1 program is williing to hire him.

Would you care to review your previous statement?

Reconstituting this old thread isn't fair. It's like your buddy coming over to the house and showing your wife a bunch of pictures of you with your old girlfriends. "It ain't cheatin when it was before I knowed you".

I have to admit... Hudspeth does reflect the coach I described long ago as what I'd like to see in the next HC at UL. Young, energetic, a motivator, high football intellect, prior head coaching experience at a lower level, recruiting ties in the region. And although I want us to be able to keep Hudspeth... I also described that if we get this kind of coach and he's successful... we are highly likely going to be in a serious uphill contest to keep him... and that is what I call a "luxurious problem".

does anyone remember when that guy named dave on sunday mornings on 1420 said a good source told him that orgeron called and said he would reduce his price to get the job? even jay walker had fun with that one on his show.

Thankfully Scott Farmer was never on his bandwagon.

I admit, I'm very happy with Coach Hud, but at that time, I didn't know anything about him until later in the coaching search. In this thread, I also said:

If we go with the experienced head coach, then he should be an energetic, sweet talkin, hi football IQ, go getter kind of coach, that's not ready to set up shop and retire.

and

I just can't wait until we put this sad episode or series of episodes to rest and move on to a new coaching staff and new hope. It will be exciting at least for a couple of years, and who knows, maybe we will experience something we've never experienced in football before.

Mark Hudspeth, bruh.

I'm awesome

In a later thread on the subject I said the following:

My take on the four:

Joe DeForest - Could be a great coach, but hard to tell with his experience being mostly Spectial Teams. We can't mess this up, so I wouldn't take the chance.

Gary Crowton - He's ready to leave LSU, We made that mistake before, no thanks. Really though, He has good exp as a head coach, but seems to have 1 good year then leaves.

Mark Hudspeth - The most likely to get the job, if he interviews well and has a plan that includes hiring good coordinators. My top choice.

Gunner Brewer - My second choice, mainly because he has worked under an excellent program with good coaches, and has good coordinator experience. Might be an up and coming type coach.
