Did he take a trip out to the west coast?

_ If his contract is loaded with incentives, I guarantee that Ed will still get paid. If Ed meets his incentives, then that means we're winning. And if we start winning, watch the RCAF and the ticket sales take off, which means more $$$ to pay Ed. I love incentive based contracts. _

Any hire is a risky hire because we just don't know how it will turn out. Stokely was the OC at Clemson. Bustle was the OC at VA Tech. There are no guarantees. If Orgeron is chosen, then let's go with it. I'll trust the final decision of UL. It is being made with different people than in the past and with a different agenda for UL athletics. And, keep in mind that $750K in LA = $500K in Lafayette, which should be affordable and loaded with incentives. UNT is paying $585K for a former Iowa State HC. We have a shot at a former SEC coach, a current USC coach, a guy from Louisiana, and a top recruiter who would also bring sizzle to the hire and make a statement that UL is really serious about football. I think unless and until something like this happens, we may not see the kind of outpouring of support we need. Football drives everything, not basketball. I'm not sure we can make a hire of some unknown but solid guy and get people fired up. As I said, there are no guarantees. IMO, most people would rather take the risk on a high profile guy than an unknown entity.

_ Leavitt was a name I liked a few months ago when we were just throwing names around. Never heard anything else about him since the search has started. I'd still be interested to see him getting an interview. _

Dennis Franchione's name just surfaced today in the Houston Chronicle as a candidate for the Texas State job.

His name surfaced a long time ago for that job.

I was guessing that was the titles on how much you post... or his given title.

I want ED.
I have read about all the rest and THIS guy is THE guy.
If we get him, we should all be at church for the enxt 5 years (or until his contract exoires or he is bought out...)

Is he still interested? We are spending the money now...

Someone got multiple millions to pay off Hud? Hud's the man for at least 3 mo years.

Once Justin Fuente leaves Memphis, that may be HUD'S landing spot. They are paying Fuente 1.5 million.

Memphis is basically North Mississippi. Its about as close as he can get to a P5 program, in the area of Mississippi St or Ole Miss.

HUD is not ready for the SEC.
