If Byrne is close to hiring Patterson and putting him together with Mark Hudspeth as the OC, he is the greatest thing this University has ever seen. Knowing Mark as well as I do, he would be an outstanding OC and a tireless recruiter. He is the most prepared coach I have ever been around. And he eats, drinks, and sleeps football. His ex-wife and kids live in Grenada, so he would really be happy coaching in the SEC and being at State

This would be an outstanding move should this happen.

12 hours a day was plenty for me...Mark is one of those 14-16 hour a day guys...He lives for it...People jokingly call coaches wives "widows" because they work so much, that is exactly the case in his situation...

I agree with that. Pot Pie Joe Lee Dunn had a better work ethic than Crooms and was probably as good of a recruiter.

but I'm cool with it. Coach has been one of the only level headed folks around here over the past week.

Is Hudspeth the guy from some little school that was being heavily pushed on sixpack a year or two ago? Some mysterious new user had shown up saying he was the next Spurrier, the next Meyer, etc. The coach even had his own website.

with Patterson today. Dallas is a central location technically so he could have been meeting anyone there for all we know. Hope I'm wrong cause Patterson has been 1 of my 2 favs throughout this thing. Just don't see it.

...Hudspeth parlayed a MPSA championship at Winston Academy to a D2 job at Delta State where he was at one time offensive coordinator. After Delta State won the D2 title with their flexbone triple option, he got the OC job at Navy (or was it Middle Tennessee-- I can't remember and I think I'm confusing him with Campbell here), and then was named head coach at North Alabama.

That right, Coach?</p>Edit to add: Yes, I seem to recall that his name was pushed.

I met him when I was at Lamar and he became the HC at Winston Academy. He called me out of the blue for a scouting report one day and we ended up on the phone for almost 2 hours...we figured out our wives were teammates at Kirk in Grenada when they won so many games...We ended up meeting and talking football another afternoon, and I was really impressed with what he did.
I left for Grenada the next year, he ended up winning 40 in a row or something at Winston, became a grad asst, and then coached at Delta St...He left and was Navy's OC for one season and then headed to North Alabama

He is good enough to be an SEC OC...he is a tireless coach and recruiter...he lives for football...he'll get his shot someday whether its here or somewhere else

...because my alma mater (not Winston) holds the MPSA record for most consecutive games won with 33. Otherwise, great coach at the high school level. I saw Winston play a few times when he was their head coach.

did you leave Lamar for Grenada?

Did Hudspeth (sp?) go directly from Winston to Delta State as a grad asst? Is/was it common for a successful head coach at HS level to do that?

good O with strong D. I'm a dubmass, but that's what I think it will take for us to win consistently.

I mentioned how good it would be to add Hudspeth to the staff a couple of days ago and got blasted by some dumb *** on the board. Won't mention any names, I'm sure he knows who he is. From what I've read though, he seems like a great coach. It would be great to get him.

when I got to Lamar, they had won 3 games in the last 4 years, scoring 39 points the previous year for the entire season...2 years of that was enough...Grenada offered head JV coach and pitching coach, I was gone...5A public school > 2A academy

I was a Winston grad and he came in and took a team that went 0 and 10 and the next year he went 12 and 1 He also raised about 200,000 for a weight room in one summer. He is a great coach and is very intense. I would take him right now as OC.

He does this great trick where he can make his hands turn black. Just ask BMT - he's got photographic evidence.

If he's so god damn great, somebody would have hired him by now. The turnaround at North Alabama has been dramatic and he's been at it for 6 years. So, the credentials are there, yet nobody is killing themselves trying to hire him. Why?
