Mark Hudspeth

_ is if Hudspeth was to take the UL job this week, and then Mullen takes the Miami job next week. Hudspeth was to then throw his name right back in the mix for the HC position at Miss St. or a top assistant job at Miami. If h were to leave we then would have egg on our face and have to go right back out and open up the search again. To make matters worst, would some of these guys that are finalist put their name in the hat again or would they feel rejected and not be interested next time around.

If we hire Hudspeth we need to put a huge buyout clause if he were to leave early. _

Have faith in Farmer to do this right.

I would imagine that the details that you mention have been firmly discussed if Walker and Farmer are truly interested in hiring him. They know the potential snowball effect of such moves and I have to hope and assume that they would cover that before offering him if it were to come to that. I'm also sure Hudspeth knows by now if he would truly be considered for that position if it were to become open.

What scares ME about Hudspeth?


Nothing. Nothing at all.


I hope we get him. But I'll support whoever we hire.

Can't always assume. I assumed our administration would have looked more closely at Cyprien resume before hiring him. Look what happened.

Have nothing against Hudspeth, I was just worried if this was to happen.

Outside of Hudspeth, I'm a bit disappointed at who our finalists "seem" to be. I say that because it is made clear that there are likely candidates who have been interviewed that we may not know about. However, out of Sewak, Viator and Deforest I'm not all that thrilled on hiring either one of them. To me, Hudspeth would be the only one that I'd think would be worth the money we are willing to pay the coach based on previous successes and pedigree.

Didn't Cyprien lie on his resume? If it was a clerical mistake on our part I agree but its hard to fault them if they read a falsified document. Wouldn't you agree?

_ Blake Hollingsworth could shake up the QB situation if he continues to progress. We have a ton of young talent that could adapt to that type of offense easily. _

I'm sure Hollingsworth will be a quality player for us but I just don't see him unseating any of the 3 ahead of him on the depth chart. None have done anything to give a coach reason to demote their position on the chart and while I know a new coach will basically open up all positions regardless of experience, he would have to be awfully special to get any significant playing time in his first couple of seasons.

He didn't lie. He listed a degree from a non-accredited university. Egg on the athletic department's face no question. Different time different people though.

THAT administration is no longer at UL.

[CajunRed]

If I am not mistaken, he said he had a degree that in fact he did not have. He lied.
