HUD leaves before finishing the job he got all the folks in Acadiana and UL buy into! CHARACTER is important don't tell me what you want to do and have everyone do there part and you not finish the JOB. I'm all about him moving on to bigger and better things, but don't tell us to hold on to the rope just so you can let go and have us fall!

IF he leaves, how about a "Thank you coach for taking our team to heights it hasnt reached in 41 years, and making our school an attractive place for whoever takes your place. Good luck down the road." Hud got this community to "grab the rope", its our job to hold onto it, no matter what, and with whoever is next.

Hud needs to stop acting like he wants the first train out of town!!!!! How DOES THIS LOOK TO RECRUITS???? I can understand he looking out for his family, but damn it.... If this goes on until after the season, the longer he looks and finally accepts another job, the farther we get behind in recruiting and finding another coach!!!! Anyone notice he has not said he staying or he is committed to US ????? bull____ That being said, I have confidence in Scott Farmer and OUR PRESIDENT .. but im sure they getting ____ed to!!!!!

Hear! Hear! very well said.

I have been thinking the same thing all day. I know every man has to do what is best for him and his family, but da$% he asked a lot from the fans and the community this year and we delivered. He asked for RCAF donations and they went through the roof! He asked to pack the stand and we broke every Sunbelt record possible. Hold onto the rope! Coach needs to say that while looking in the mirror. But 2 million a year IS a lot of $$$

Exactly...for me it would depend a lot on the job he left for after one year. If he leaves here for another mid-major with a miniscule pay raise, I'd be a little upset but I'd thank him for everything he's done in one short year. However, if he leaves for a job in the SEC, in NO WAY can I blame the man, and I'd help load his bags for him if he needed. That's something you don't pass up.

He took the same players that were 3-9, and made them 8-4 through changing their attitudes, mentality, the way they do things, and doing more of it. Same thing with the fans. He showed the way to do it, and convinced us to step up and get it done. He asked a lot of the fans and community, and youre right, donations went up, and so did attendance. IF he leaves, he's not taking that with him!!

Some people need to take a deep breath and don't react to every bit of coaching rumor news on the internet. I'm not saying this report might not become reality in 48 hours or so, but there is nothing in this story that suggest they have come to agreement.

take a deep breath and walk around the block bro. No need to get mad at anyone right now.

Keep in mind he is working for us right now. He is recruiting right now and practicing for our bowl game.

There would be no thank you coming from me. If you hire someone and after a year they left you after you treated them great, you would really thank them for screwing you?? Some people need to get a clue in this fan base. It is way too soon to just jump ship on this program after the promises and goals that he set. Those fans that grabbed the rope can easily let go (other than the diehards) But I don't think the job of getting us to a bowl game was impossible cause we ALWAYS had the talent for the past 5-6 years. We just didn't have the proper coaching. So a thank you for JUST one year is a little too sincere if you ask me. A Screw you after just one year would be just fine by me though.

Look at it on both sides. We have never had to be worried about this before because we were never able to attract this good a coach. While I hate to lose HUD. He is not gone as of now. If something changes I have confidence that our administration will do what is right for the university. Let's just hope there is a hefty buy out for whoever wants him. And if the buy out is not hefty. Let that be a lessons learned for our next hire 3 or 4 years from now.
