Mark Hudspeth

_ If Mullen goes to Miami, Manny Diaz will probably go with him. Hudspeth is a top candidate to take over the Miss St. program. _

Been told that Hudspeth would not be a candidate for the HC position at Miss State, but could be interviewed have a position with Mullen at Miami or interview with the next HC.

The question then becomes, I guess, would he rather be a D1 head coach here or on the staff at a bigger school? My personal favorite for the job, but we'll see how it all shakes out.

What type of offense does Hudspeth run again? just curious

A high scoring one, while the HC at North Alabama his offenses averaged around 41 points a game. I am going to assume it is more like a true spread, air raid type offense much like Texas Tech ran under Leach.

so he wouldn't have the personnel to run an effective offense right away right? If that's the case I hope he gets some good recruiters around him if he is hired

Actually you do have the personnel...Butler, Surgent, Lawson, and Green as your 4 receiving threats. Also Spikes and Streeter would be perfect in the back field.

Uh, we do run the spread and when the offense is healthy, had a pretty good offense. As mentioned, we have the receiving threats, we just need to mean streak to come out of the lineman when protecting their QB and paving away for our talented runners. Masson can throw all day and when he's protected is one of the best in the SBC. When he's pressured however, he tends to make his biggest mistakes.

Personally, I am not concerned about our offense regardless of who we bring in. I think the main question has to center on the defense and whether we have a coordinator that will kick them in the nads over and over again to toughen up the middle of that D. That's the only way we will win a conference championship.

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.

Spot on. Offense will be as good as the OL allows it to be. Behind the kickoff coverage team, they were probably the worst unit we had. The new coach will have to find 7-8 guys who can be counted on to protect whoever our QB is.

I have no ideas for our defense. I was single and still in school the last time I saw a UL defense that was worth a damn.

I didn't mention QB bc in a spread offense you can utilize different skill types at QB.

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.

[CajunZ1]

I'm not worried about this. A buyout could be OK though.
