Louisiana will fight to keep Hudspeth

You don't have to come close to saying what Scott said to accomplish everything you are attributing to his words.

The inadvertant message he is sending out is we want temporary coaches, and we would never dream of putting a buyout clause in a contract.

This is a D1 program not 1aa, this is not how you promote the HC position and make it desirabe for future coaches.

You are gleaning things that are not in that comment. You keep more desirable coaches in play when you speak politely in public. You have a better chance of drafting the Ts and Cs that you want by keeping the inconsequential public rhetoric polite.

If he stays, he knows he is around people that want him.

How so? You just did everthing you could to help him leave.

IF your goal is to hunt down "1" year coaches, you have a point.

Turbine, do you really not understand? Or are you just trying to argue?

I really don't understand the advantage of a program billing itself as a job search agency.

Look at the difference between now, and prior to Hud's hiring. The next guy comes in and builds it a little bigger. Its a step by step process. It will take two or three "1 year coaches" to get where we want to be. There are few exceptions to this (Bobby Bowden at Florida State and Frank Beamer at Virginia Tech off the top of my head).

No, you can only do what you can do. If that is not enough, then so be it. Present you absolute best, and then let the chips fall.

I think Scott Farmer meant UL would not stand in his way from moving rather than helping him move. Just my opinion.

Alright turbine we can either go for up and coming coaches who will win big like Hud or old men looking to settle. If you prefer the former you'll have to deal with this for a while. As the program grows, so will the longevity of your coaches.

Because it is an SEC school which we can not compete with in salary or even come close, I do not have a problem with what SF said. Now if he would have the same attitude if HUD interviews with Tulane or even SMU I would totally disagree with him. I don't like the comment but I see his angle. It would almost be like a college coach not helping a sophomore athlete get drafted for the team's interests.
