post Texas A&M: Hud Accountability Index

[CajunEXPRESS]

The point is that Viator didn't exactly out coach anybody last year.

I really don't believe you get a reading of a coach in a driving rainstorm. That was last year wasn't it?

[CajunEXPRESS]

Urban Myers isn't giving the Texas coach a pass because he's playing with mostly Charlie Strong recruited players. Are we expected to give Hud a pass on a trem that's 100% Hud recruited players?

Year 7 and the program is a total mess. He's not getting my vote to renew his contract. Why the hell do I want him around until his time plays out? That's just nuts both financially, and the good of the program.

Renewing the contract is not a factor until 2020. As far as staying around till then, I again ask who will write the check which is needed to buy him out. That is likely in the 2 million range. MAT says there are people willing to do it if things get bad enough. Personally i am skeptical of that in this economy. I also don't think we will get much of an attendance rebound with a change simply because the economy is much worse than most realize. I am not saying a change should not be made if improvement does not occur. That is a different deal than having to raise the money for a buyout.

Mike if you're not willing to renew, you shouldn't keep him. We'll lose more than two million in revenue streams by keeping him on.

At this point in time, the question is starting to be not what it will cost to buy out the contract, but how much will it save!

This. If attendance remains poor and/or gets worse, a move will have to be made. Cost-benefit.

LOL That was too funny. Cajun4life has been bashing HUD and the program for a solid year. Reminder to all RP posters. You are post away from being called and azz licker.

I was waiting and waiting... and no one has called anyone an "azz licker" in that "one post away" warning. Is that disappointing to you?

By the way, does this site have influence... or does it not? If it does, then the subjects discussed need to be debated. If it does not, then why weigh in on C4L's year long promotion?

I contend that it's a worthwhile fan exercise to open up discussions/debates. And I'll add this... if you attack the credibility of the OP... and they call you a name... that's just life. If you are giving good debate arguments... and they call you a name... then they're in the wrong. I've too often read the same posters that don't like ad hominem attacks... turn right around and discredit the poster... not the subject of the post.

You were called no names in the development of this post.

You still have to have someone or several someone's write that check...and if I know this university it's the same people who always write the check. Then those same exact people will be expected to pay for the new coach. Some of you are pretty quick to write other people's checks. I know what I give to rcaf isn't gonna cover that...how about y'all donations? this school doesn't operate like a business, they spend every penny and plus some every year. They spend according to the budget.

There is always a small to possibly large bump with a new hire.

Question is do you hire another inspirational coach or a dull genius?

I have to agree with you. Although he may cost us more than $2 million you still must have $2 million available to buy him out.......that's just the facts of life. We can all standby and see it happen but someone has to fork the money over to make that happen.

One thing I know for sure, I don't have $2 million to spare.
