And the winner looks to be .......

Mark Hudspeth. According to Turbine's poll Hudspeth has a narrow edge on Orgeron in the poll asking who you would like to see as the next UL coach. In the other poll on who would you not like to see as the next UL coach and Mark Hudspeth dominates this poll.

Mr. Farmer, Mr. Walker, and Dr. Savoie can just go ahead and give this guy the job. He has hands down won the RaginPagin.com poll contest and has the approval of most of us posters.

If it was only that easy.

Of course it matters not (some won't even be considered) and it's just group opinion . . . but as of this morning . . .

Hudspeth has the highest pro and the lowest con.

Orgeron has the second highest pro but the third highest con.

DeForest has the 3rd highest pro and third lowest con.

So unless I am reading it wrong it's

1) Hudspeth
2) DeForest
3 ) Orgeron

and . . . subject to change.

That's what I would say Turb. Orgeron is a polarizing figure for the most part.

As long as we are judging qualifications and peripherals-----Which candidate has the most and richest backers???? OK' I am a money guy ---big and very deep pockets and I go to the tri-pickers--- say that with the choosing of my candidate as HC-----I give the school/athletic Dept. millions---Does this enter the picture???? Say like I will give RCAF 100K-1 mill. a year while my guy is HC----Does this influence the decision????

It better not. Because if your donation is tied to what you want, then smart people want no part of it.

If you love the university, write the check. No strings.

Of course big boosters have an affect.

Hopefully UL has a well informed sphere of influence...as such, if they feel warm and fuzzy about how the process is being handled...they will feel no need to alter the course of actions that are underway...

Not saying they are pulling the trigger, I'm saying they probably know where the gun is currently aimed :-)

Can we do a single choice poll now with the major options now that we're seemingly getting closer. Maybe the more likely or popular ones. (I'd say Hudspeth, DeForest, Sewak, Viator, Orgeron or if someone has a better list or maybe just all of the names.) I voted for like 5 of them, but it would be nice to see a final count on everyone's "enlightened" pick

Unless that would be too many coach polls. No big deal.

Orgeron is not even being interviewed.

I'm pretty certain the press release mentioned that members of RCAF would have a role in the hire. I don't think it is a stretch to say those chosen ones put more than a 20 dollar bill in the RCAF offering plate.
