over SC? Seriously?Quote:

You make good points, but I look at SC as a replicable situation. That job is easier than MSU, because its a little closer to recruits and on the easier side of the conference, but your still fighting an uphill battle.Quote:

Just don't see SC offering the job to Hud without having to be turned down by 5 or so higher profile coaches before.
Spurrier will not get out until after next year at the earliest. SC is the only one of the ones mentioned that would have any appeal to Hud.Quote:

Charlie Strong.
Hud won't move for less than 2.7 is what I've been told, plus his buyout in Lafayette, plus the sale price of his home, plus moving his wife's business. That said, money won't be an issue on our side of things if we think he's worth that kind of investment.
he's more than likely not coming barring some changes to the administration though.
I'd take it over MSU. Based on our track record, he would be lucky to last more than 5-6 years. Either end up losing like Mullen or do well and get put on probation. Not a woe me statement, just our history. I do want Hud BTW, I just can't see him turning down a job like that for us.
Was offered Saban money on Rocky Top last year and turned it down. Currently makes $3.7mil base with almost $600k in performance bonuses.Quote:

Agreed. I'm not the least bit sure that he couldn't get his demands met thought... With every win, he builds tremendous power over us...Quote:

Might as well make it Saban. Mullen is here another year at the very lest.
As long as he gets the free Augusta National membership as head coach, he is not leaving SC until he is dead.Quote:

As a retired SC coach- he will still have that privelegeQuote:

I don't have any knowledge that would be he care but found it interesting that they'd throw it out there.Quote:

Plus, they've got a pretty clearly documented financial problem that they're currently digging out of. In the SEC, that's going to eventually ruin you.
I'm certainly a proponent of mercy and grace.....were it not for grace......Quote:

Has Petrino learned from his mistakes? Not for me to say...... But he is way beyond a second chance! :)
As for preachers who lie and cheat and not pay their bills, they will ultimately be exposed!
