At this point Hud will coach at MSU way before Manny ever does.
If Manny is successful at Texas, the sky is the limit for him and he won't be coming to Starkville unless it's coaching an opposing team or we've become a national program force to be reckoned with. If he's not successful at Texas, and considering we've done pretty damn well this year defensively, do we really give him the job?
At the same time, Hud is simply a sun belt head coach. Any coach in the sun belt would jump as a lateral move at the opportunity to coach here...as evidenced by Manny coming here in 2010.
