Ok this is the official hire HUD thread!!!

[Dannyripms]

I thought I'd be the first to start it. After tonight I see no reason to keep dan. Stupid coaching decisions, poor second half adjustments again!!!, just overall bad football. The talent is there, it's all on the coach imo

[civildawg]

In this bitch

[preachermatt83]

Give us HUD!!!!!!!!!!!

[engie]

No leadership in the coaching staff. No SR or JR leadership on the field. Thank God for the young guys -- Prescott, Market, and Jones...

It should be a no brainer, but we are M State. He'll be back next year. We'll go 7-5 or 6-6 next year with Mullen. Our team plays with ZERO passion. We look like we going through the motions. Other than 2 or 3 plays, their QB just stood back there all night.

[Dannyripms]

Man I done tweeted Scott and told him it's time to fire dan, if he can't his ass needs to go too. Everybody needs to tweet Scott ASAP and share our frustration

Please don't.

[Dannyripms]

Why not? He needs to know his job isn't safe either

Yep. We are not improving. Our tackling is worse, we're getting less pressure now than we were against LSU, we only have one WR on every pass play that is actually running a route trying to get open, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc,.

Oh, and I'm for Hud

[hacker]

is that Hud's wife?

[DanDority]

Bad thing is Scott will do nothing to better our football team, he will wear his loafers, shake hands, kiss babies and laugh all the way to the bank. Like Templeton.

[HoopsDawg]

I wanted to wait and see how we finished the season, but I saw enough tonight. It's time.

[Dawg61]

Do it tomorrow. Why wait? Has anyone brought in another team's HC in the middle of a season before? If not let's be the first to do it. Hud might improve the recruiting class and beat USC or aTm. He'll stomp the shit out of Ole Miss and Arkansas. The players will LOVE Hudspeth. They might be sad for a day.

[CadaverDawg]

is that Hud's wife?

Yes

[engie]

is that Hud's wife?

Yes.

But (who was it) told me they weren't sure if he could 'croot or not**

[hacker]

Megan is pretty hot, but gotta give the edge to Hud in that department

[fishwater99]

Mullen is worse than Stands.

We never once threw downfield on a planned play.
Came out in 2nd half trying to pass after we had success running the ball with DAK.
Keep running the same shitty plays with perkins.
The defense got no pressure tonight.
We will not win another game this year.

Mullen needs to go....

[Dawgface]

I'm in the Hud camp too. But I would be surprised if it gets done. And if we do scrape our a 6-6 record next year, we will probably have his ass for another one.

Mullen is doing his best to make Stansbury look like Coach K. It was time for Stansbury to ride off into the sunset and it is time for Mullen to do the same.

We just squeaked past BG and UK....AT HOME. You don't have to worry about 6 wins. We will be lucky to win 5

[Dannyripms]

It's like you almost know what's gonna happen before it does. I knew going into halftime we would come out and stink it up. It happened this whole year. And it's obviously the coaches fault and they can't get it fixed. I know how to fix it right away. We want HUD!!!!

[laureldawg]

WE WANT HUD!!!!

[Dannyripms]

We want HUD!!!!!!!!!!!

[Op4isabitch]

Guys, it's time to break out the paper sacks like the Aints fans use to wear and like the Bucs fans are doing now!
Everything has regressed, from the Stadium atmosphere to the coaching and even down to the effort from the athletes!

[Dawg61]

Ha glad you found it

[Op4isabitch]

Ha glad you found it

Ha, I just wasn't sure all my anger could be contain in one thread**

As CD would say......" Fire the dud and bring on the Hud " or at least someone who acts like they want to be the head coach at MSU.

[Dannyripms]

I was watching the game tonight with some bear fans and they even said that it looks like dan has lost his fire or he acts like he's gave up or just don't want to be there anymore. And I'd have to agree because it really does seem that way. I would really like to know how the locker room is. Have the players given up on him? What's the mood around the players about dan?

A poster over on gene's said last night he's got a son that's a red shirt on the team and his kid has told him that the team is falling apart over the Dak/Tyler split and a strong rumor in the locker room that Mullen has been making calls networking for another job. Of course he was called a bear about fifty times.

[MadDawg]

Have I ever mentioned how much our fans suck?

[civildawg]

Did he say who the team wanted as QB? I just cant imagine the team thinks Tyler is the better qb

[Dannyripms]

Mullen and HUD, gene and Gus comparison
Let me know your opinion on this but to me it kind of resembles each other. When HUD was here we were playing inspired football, some say it wasn't because of HUD but that's the only common difference I can find from 2010 to now. It's like when Gus left gene at auburn, the team started to go down( maybe not to the extreme of auburn). But you gotta wonder if we hire HUD next season could he have us in the same position as Gus has auburn in right now? IMO I think he could, I can see us at least competing with bama. I don't see us getting blown out with HUD as our coach.

[CadaverDawg]

Meh, I don't like the comparison personally, but respect the post.

The main reason they sucked when Gus left is because Gene tried to turn a spread team into a pro style offense, and it didn't work. That's also the reason Gus is having success...because Auburn made the move while the cupboard was still full...and full of spread players.

I do agree with the part of us needing to make the move now. I feel like if we make the move this year, we will be able to maintain, and possibly even improve, immediately. The schedule and talent would be very good to walk in to if you are Hud. There would be little to no adjustment period, and he would improve recruiting immediately....especially since we are tanking in recruiting this year, and a few of the good players we have committed are injured.

[TrapGame]

Something happened after 2010 that's for sure. Since September 2011 -the AU loss- there has been a glaring problem with this team.

[Dannyripms]

I saw last night on a tweet so take it for what it's worth. But it said that quay was kicked off team or something like that and then the coaching staff tried to get him back afterwards. Does anyone know if that's true or not?

[Nicky Santoro]

Then we would really be screwed. I'm not just going on speculation here - I've heard from folks connected to his agent that he isn't interested if there are other jobs available where he can be "more successful." I think that means he's not interested in being in the SECW unless he's at Bama or LSU.

Anyone else here trust that Strick has a plan? I sure don't.

How many girlfriends has everyone had at some point in life that they didn't really give a shit about until they break up with you -- or you start suspecting them of having something with someone else -- only to decide at that point that you damn sure really like them and want to be with them? Point being -- fear of permanent loss is as powerful a motivator as exists sociologically.

Hud is playing cards to get the MSU job right now, THIS YEAR. He campaigned hard for it last offseason with our decision-making boosters after Mullen's stumble(what changed since then?). Now, he's pulling back from that -- and making us fear permanently missing on him -- while putting together his best season yet on the field and in recruiting. See how my "dating" example now comes into light? He's forcing our hand -- and he's got ALL the power in this situation -- and being perceived as disinterested at this point is simply giving him MORE power. Maybe enough power to pre-emptively force a change in our compliance department, even?

You know what also works very similarly to the example? Recruiting. And the way he's playing this makes me all the more positive that he'll be a force to reckon with in that regard.

Trainer told my friend same thing about Mullen making calls for other jobs. I don't necessarily believe that(we won't be able to get rid of him that easily) but still never good to have rumors like that floating around locker room.

Why not? That's how we've handled getting rid of everyone under this regime. Who has been "fired" yet? They just take lateral moves/slight demotions out of town. I'd think we could(and should) handle this the same way.

What if we've already told him he's out at the end of the year -- and we're furnishing the buyout? Would it not make sense for him to try to find another job to jump to -- even if it's not quite as good as ours -- thus saving himself the embarrassment(and us the media persecution)?

That approach would leave everybody happy...and no one is seen publicly as making the "hard call"...

[SunCoastDog]

his ex-wife, Amy Hudspeth. She doesn't know a lot about football, but she is the girls basketball coach at Kirk. In recent history they've had very good success on the field and in recruiting too.

[Dawgowar]

How dare you imply the second coming of Bobby Wallace won't deign to accept our generous offer and bring his magic playbook and really energetic pre game speeches to Starkvegas! Is Pepper Rogers or Bobby Collins still inhaling and exhaling air these days?

[Op4isabitch]

Yep Pepper is still kicking and funny as shit. What a great guy!

[Dawgowar]

Yep Pepper is still kicking and funny as shit. What a great guy!

Poor old guy waited and waited for that Memphis NFL team to come along and hire him. We should give him a ring and make the offer.

[dawgman]

He did have his run with the Steamboats didn't he?

[Dawgowar]

Yeah - some of those USFL teams were fun to watch. Spurriers Bandits were entertaining.

[chef dixon]

Assuming you are on the fire Mullen train, would you still truly want to fire him right now?

[t45fixer]

I think a lot of people want to know what the hell is going on between his ears. Him stepping out in the second half and our team looks like shit.

[t45fixer]

And why in five wide pass plays 3 receivers don't even run routes.

[WeWillScrewItUp]

I'm not exactly on the HudWagon but am in the "Bye Dan" crew. I don't know who the best option is but I do believe we need somebody to light some fires under some asses and make our players play hard.

[engie]

Assuming you are on the fire Mullen train, would you still truly want to fire him right now?

I would still be pissed -- but I would definitely be less positive that I wanted to move on right now...
