The word around Tupelo is...

Coach Hud is going to the the OC <span style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;">if</span> we hire either Graham or Tub.

Makes some sense too if you think about it. Either of those guys as a head are good hires. Maybe not everyone's perfect choice, but far from bad. But both are defensive coaches in background. And we're telling our recruits that we're going to open up the offense.

But if we go ahead and designate that Hud will run the offense, it will be open. They average about 280 in the air and 160 on the ground at UNA. Plus the guys knows Mississippi.

Nothing is ever for sure until there's a press conference. And then it's still not always for sure (just ask Notre Dame.)

Jerry Jones hired Jason Garrett as OC before he hired Phillips as HC and that was a huge story. Noway in hell Byrne makes a move that stupid unless he already has a candidate that requested Hud.

WOW! That Hud guy must be like a God, because he and Byrne are the only two people that know who we are hiring and he is assured to be the OC for two different coaches? Sounds like someones been on Swan's page.

Coaches hire their own coordinators - do Graham or Tuberville even know this guy? This is not the Cowboys hiring Jason Garrett before a head coach.

I've been on a lot of pages. But this came from a phone call though I have seen it elsewhere too.

For all I know both of the guys have indicated their interest in the position.

I'd think Tommy knows a little about Mark since they coach in the same state. Might even talk to a lot of the same recruits, though I probably wouldn't expect someone to go to UNA over AU, but with initial talks and all they probably run into each other some.

Just saying what I heard. Don't kill the messenger.
