Is that even true though? We had media approval, but I don't recall us outbidding other suitors.

HUD would be a homerun hire for State. He a great coach, motivator, and disciplinarian. He also has a metric ton of connections to high school coaches in Mississippi and Alabama. He would be a great fit and I think he has really wanted to be the HC here for a long time. When someone loves the place they work the ceiling is raised significantly
HUD will never be our HC.
And honestly- If I'm Brady- I wouldnt take our job knowing the roster and being friends with Moorhead. He knows what we have and realizes its not a good fit
I wouldn't take it either if I'm Brady. He is about to make a million at LSU and he can pick a better fit next year. Or maybe even go back to the NFL where he studied under Sean Payton.
I do think he could find us a couple of good receivers to run his offense though. Ty Keyes sure as hell would love it. Will Rodgers could run it. There are couple of really good receivers in the 2021 class. One recently decommitted from us and committed to LSU.
He also has a generational QB who is doing some unbelievable things that could make anyone look like a genius. I mean, he may be good in time but he needs to be THE OC first and show me what he can do with say Myles Brennan before I totally buy in to him.
Right now I think MSU needs someone that will actually build a program and knows how to do that. Someone like Napier who is from Saban's tree because there is a track record of his assistants going to other schools and following the same "program" blueprint successfully. Smart, Pruitt, McElwain won a couple of SEC East titles and left them in good shape. Or someone like Hud that is really invested in the program where we can hire elite coordinators which is what LSU did- and Clemson did with Dabo- who will recruit well and manage the program like a CEO.
We were trying to outsmart everyone with Moorhead. It would be the same with Brady.
