Top 21 coaching hires in the country

[NewsCopy]

#12 Mark Hudspeth, Louisiana:

This answers the question -- who coached North Alabama before Terry Bowden? It was Hudspeth who went 66-21 in seven seasons before going to Mississippi State as Dan Mullen's receivers coach.

This has the look of a starter head coaching job (at least in I-A) that is going to launch Hudspeth as a future star.

There are always players in Louisiana.

The Sun Belt is always winnable.

Remember the name.

If Hudpseth succeeds here, he could be an SEC coach of the future.

I would hope he would stay here past 2015, more like 2020. Close to a decade of success here at UL will bring this program to a level that we can not even imagine!

Hear what you're saying but the sooner he's out of here the better did. I will take back to back winning seasons and a new coaching search after 2012!!

Who knows, he might do like the coach at Boise State or TCU and build our program to a point where he doesn't need/want to leave.

[I] agree, I hope his success keeps him here for a long time because he Likes our University, the People, the way of life and all the fun it offers.
I met Coach and his wife at one of the basketball after he arrived and I welcomed him and mentioned the same thing I mention here, If you are successful as you say we will be and if your time comes to be tempted to leave, you will want to stay because you love it here as a lot of us have come to love it here.
This University and City has so much to offer and give.

GEAUX CAJUNS.

Well lets hope more like TCU and less Boise since Dan Hawkins kinda did exactly what lots of program builders do, move to a BCS school.

Yeah, and it backfired on him. Peterson has now been there a while and I'm sure has a lot of offers, but said he doesn't want to leave. The grass isn't always greener, only the paycheck.
