Austin Peay is 1 Win Away From 1st Ever FCS Playoff Appearance

[RiverCityDawg]

An MSU guy at President, AD, & football coach would be the most MSU thing ever.

Remind me who you would be for us hiring again? You don't think Joe is the guy, and you aren't for Hud, Napier, Norvell or Clark. I think any of those guys would be better to Joe, but admit there are risks with all. Who would you support that we could realistically get next year?

[Todd4State]

To me, I don't care that he's an MSU guy. That's just a bonus I guess? I'm simply looking at his strengths and weaknesses on paper and considering the fact it's a realistic hire. It's not an Urban Meyer pipe dream or PJ Fleck or someone else that we know isn't reality. No coach is going to be perfect and have 100% of the fan base behind them. But to me, HUD is one (not the only) that has a lot of things I'm interested in seeing.

I will make a side argument the two times we've come close to a major championships in men's sports it was under "MSU" guys. Richard Williams and John Cohen. They had some issues too but they also won SEC Championships and came razor close to bringing home a national championship.

There?s something to be said about someone really wanting to be somewhere.

[AROB44]

One thing I just realized.....

Don?t you think there would be a better than average shot that he brought Chad Bumphis with him??? That would be a plus

Why is that such a plus? Is he a really good coach or a great recruiter? Just because he played here is not a reason.

[StateDawg44]

No. No no no.

We are currently on probation and you simply cannot bring in a coach that has put a team on probation while you, yourself, is on probation.

Yeah that's rich coming from us as a fanbase right now under the circumstance with Tutorgate.

[AROB44]

Why is Hud a "MSU guy"? He went to Delta State not MSU.

[Really Clark?]

I don?t think he is able to hire Saunders again if he wanted to.

Ha. Well that?s true for everyone with his 10 year show cause. He didn?t last but a year as HC at PRCC.

And I think he got fired there for breaking the rules too.

Where have I said I’m against Napier? Hell, at this point give me Norvell.

[Cooterpoot]

He’s an MSU guy. Always has been. He just couldn’t play at State.

[Cooterpoot]

Hud is our last resort guy if we can’t pull a G HC or top assistant we like. I’m fine with that if we can’t get anyone. But we don’t need him here otherwise & I really don’t believe he’s anywhere near the top of the wish list.

[PGHBulldogBG]

My first three choices to replace mullen were. Matt Campbell. Neal Brown and Dave Clawson. They were reasonable options with possibly the exception of Campbell at the time. If we can’t get these 3 I would take Huds. Not sold on Norvell or Napier but would rather have Napier or the two. I think they might both be flash in the pan types

[TrapGame]

Hiring Hud would be unexciting, unimaginative, underwhelming, unimpressive. Being that it checks all those boxes I fully expect him to be the next MSU coach, this year or next.

As long as he has us prepared to play and physically and mentally ready I don't care how it looks. I don't want to win the ****ing press conference. It's time to win some ****ing games.

[TNDawg35]

Hud is the cute chick that loves you but is never the hottest girl in the room. How long do you bypass the one that loves you in favor of unknowns that may be sexier on the hoof?

Depends on how big the ?cute? chiks tits are...

So I guess having an alum or "school x Guy" as President, AD, and HC is fine for a school like UGA, but bad for us?

Typically is a bad situation.

[MedDawg]

Count me in as interested in Hud. With a good staff, I think he would do well here. We would play to our traditional strengths, he would recruit well and I think he would do a good job getting fan support and buy in.

For those that say we would not bring him in because he had some NCAA issues, guess what? King Jackie had similar issues and that worked out just fine. Hud was help accountable for Saunders, and he should have been. He paid the price for it and moved on and is once again proving himself.

He's the most realistic candidate I see that would come here (his dream job in fact) that checks off the majority of the boxes we are looking for. Just makes sense to me.

I wouldn't say under Jackie everything worked out just fine. We were put on probation twice and were possibly "forced" to hire Croom. Jackie's problems resulted in horribly bad years from 2001-2008 except 2007.

Having said that, I like Hud and don't think the NCAA would be after him like they were after Jackie Sherrill. I don't want to fire Moorhead for just anyone, but I'd be for replacing Moorhead with Hudspeth.

[trojandawg]

i like hud. i'm not sure we would, but i wouldn't hate the hire either. there were a lot of people screaming no about freeze going to ole miss and O to lsu. sometimes the right fit may not seem like the homerun hire, but finding the right fit is more important sometimes.

I don't think that scenario is bad in of itself if they are capable.

What's bad would be an entire athletic department that is MSU bred yes people.

In any type of organization, hire the right person don't hire just because of their allegiance.

Sorry, you said you didn't have a "major problem" with him and that he was "middle of the pack" for you. What I'm asking is what realistic candidates would be top of the pack for you? Not a flame, genuinely curious sine you tend to say "no" or are luke warm to the common names thrown around here.

Depends on who is available. Right now, I don’t have a favorite. But I’m opening up to way more than my initial take on it.
I’m just ready for a different direction.
