disappointed if Stricklin didn't even interview anyone or do a search and went straight to Hudspeth and offered him the job.
Hypothetical Friday question - If Mullen were to leave - would you be...
- Thread starter dawgstudent
- Start date
I would talk to Hud first and gauge his interest. If I got the sense he was
ready to jump in the boat then I would work with him and get it done, if I felt he was playing me then I would open up a normal search and include heavy hitter boosters in the decision making process to insure consensus and unity. If Hud was ready to jump I would still get buy in with heavy hitters before I pulled the trigger.

Yes. I'd want a national search.
Hud's a good coach and I'd be happy with that hire, but I'd be pissed if we didn't at least look at all of our options.

As I said yesterday, I'd be highly pissed. I'm not even sure Hud should be in the top 5 for candidates right now, much less the slam dunk choice to the exclusion of even interviewing other candidates.
If you had your choice who would you hire: Dykes or Hud?
Its an interesting question. I think most national pundits may take Dykes, but Hud has a lot of appeal from an in-state level especially as far as recruiting.

I'd like to get a more traditional pro-style guy that actually knows how to use the given personnel wisely. Also someone who has the ability to effectively recruit. Also someone that is proven aka Not Tim Brewster, Not Jim McElwain. Also someone who was a good player. Also someone that was a QB. So yeah I'd like a nationwide search please.
Yes. I would love Hud as head coach, but you have to still do a search to evaluate all your options. If Hud were still on our staff and we promoted him, I'd be less likely to be disappointed.
Wow, I thought the responses would be mostly in favor of just going with Hud. Did we not learn anything from Stricklin's last search? I would almost be scared shitless if he started a search committee....we may end up with the Assistant Coach of Nevada or some **** like that. I like Stricklin, but his last search gave me no reason to believe he would find someone better than Hud. Granted, football is a different animal, and Ray may turn out to be a diamond in the rough, but I feel like we know what we're getting with Hud. If Strick would go out and see what, if any, big names may be interested and then mark off the list until he got down to Hud, I'd be ok with that...but do we think he would do that? Or would he try to find another surprise guy, like Ray? I'd like to think not, but I have no reason to think otherwise at this point.
Again, I'm not saying I want Hud without a search, but I AM saying I am not super confident in a search led by Strick right now.

Enough with this meme, from the limited sample Ray has looked like a good hire. Our entire culture has changed and it shows On The Court. Obviously we're depleted but that would face anyone coming in when he did. Sword Thomas and Ware will be an excellent base to build off of.
But to somehow say Strick messed up with the Ray hire is retarded. Of course you have to go along with the board consensus on everything. I can tell on your posts that it's never your own words rather regurgitating the majority opinion or conventional wisdom on everything. The real question is why do you care about image on a board as if posters are actual people you come in contact with. Youre a good psychological study Cad Dawg

No I said a good player.. Doesn't have to be great but to be good means to have played. Example. Harbaugh. It's just my preference that I would like a former QB calling the shots that has proven offensive credentials. If Dan were to leave I would hope we would go after Petersen at Boise with a blank check for him to sign. Id also look at his 2 fmr OC, the one at UF and TX. All 3 of those were quarterbacks.
Radio, you're such a stalking little *****. Knowing how you stalk my posts, you should know very well that I think Ray "may" turn out to be a good hire....but a name we wanted to get as a fan base? He is not. Once again, Ray may end up good and he has my full support, but I don't want an experiment like Ray as a football coach. May not happen, but what do we have as information to base that on??
Quit putting words in my mouth **********. If you want to post after every post I make, that's fine, but don't make **** up. Better yet, get a hobby other than following my every word on a message board. Your little ***** feelings got hurt bad when I called you out during baseball season last year and you can't let it go.
By the way, you're pointing me out for questioning the Ray hire, while you wanted Cohen gone the entire season last year? I think you proved how great your points were during baseball season. 17 you.
Dykes - IF he can bring seasoned DC with him.
His numbers on offense are just flat out sick. Everywhere he's gone, they've put up major points on offense. He's from the Mumme/Leach tree of scoring an *** load of TDs. Hud would have a head up on him with recruiting, but it's not like Dykes would come in with no connections. Knowing Louisiana and Texas recruiting grounds counts for something. I'd give him a hard look if he could bring a solid DC with him.
I'm not knocking Hud, either. I wouldn't be unsatisfied at all if he was our guy. I just want to see some crazy wide open Air Raid offenses at MSU before I die.

To me ...
a lot depends on timing. I would like to see a national search to see 'who' might be interested. In today's world, it doesn't hurt to have a list of those interested. But, I would not want a search to drag out or to sacrifice a recruiting class just to do a search.

Well no one is stopping you from offering us more in depth questions.
It was a basic question in a round about way of saying if Mullen left - would you be fine with hiring Hudspeth without looking anywhere else?

1. Find where I wanted Cohen gone (you can't that was a lie)
2. I was overwhelmingly proven right on my single baseball issue the entire season. Cemented as fact in our final game as an issue. Anybody on here during baseball can attest including the most reliable (Engie and Coach).
Go back to your room while the adults talk sports. Again with the name calling. Haha you really take this message board personally don't you. For your own sake go make some friends.

It's an SEC gig. I would imagine that the shape it's in now would attract good coaches at other BCS level schools. If the guy from Rutgers, Utah State, or WKU wanted to come here (not saying they would or anything, just throwing coaches out there), I think they should at least get an interview. Hud might not have the national attention those guys have, but what he does have over them is knowledge of Mississippi, Louisiana, and Alabama... Our 3 recruiting states.
I don't care if he was the 4th string holder, 2nd string long snapper, or water boy. A coach is a coach. Todd Haley played college golf and he's one of the hottest commodities in the NFL at OC. Leach is a similar character.
I wouldn't be upset if we hired Hud the very next day, but I would have at least like to fish around a little.

Ha, this coming from a student at MSU that spends all day on his computer on a message board? Even gets on here drunk? Riiight.. Do you realize how insecure you look? Letting me get under your skin to the point you stalk my every post on a message board....there's one person in this conversation that takes things personally, and it's you. That time I made you look stupid was over for me the day it happened, but you have let it linger for a year because you were so upset. It's sad really. By the way, a guy with your South Park pic calling someone a child is quite ironic.
You have 3X as many posts in 4 monts less time than me... I was and still am completely right about the entire baseball season last year. You fail to give examples, quotes etc because you are just less knowledgeable. Please leave baseball to me Coach Todd Engie and Bruce this season. We don't need your 6.7 new threads a game.
Yes. Not that familiar with Hudspeth, but being HC at a small Louisiana school doesn't necessarily qualify him for the SEC. I've seen a couple of their games and didn't see anything spectacular. I believe he lost to Malzahn at Arkansas State in one of the games I saw.
We should do a national, name brand search. Petersen comes to mind, perhaps the guy at Rutgers ... he had a good year ... Strong at Louisville, perhaps the Kent State coach, Baylor coach ... talk to Malzahn. There are many that should be looked at.
And hiring a Southerner is not even a criterion in my book. The Civil War was over almost 150 years ago.

If I KNEW Hud would
1) keep Dan's 'crootin class
2) Expand Dan's 'crootin class w/a few cherry picked of his own, headed of LA direc tional school
3) He'd end Wilson and Heav's contracts w/MSU
It would be fine.
Otherwise, I'd want a natl search, if anything to give us something more to speculate about

I'd be disappointed and pissed. 1. Isn't that illegal nowadays? I might be wrong here but don't you have to atleast interview one minority or is that just in the NFL? 2. I want Cliff Kingsbury so yea I'd be pissed. 3. We'd miss out on all the Gruden to MSU fun.
