Where'd he say it at? Was this a tweet?wave to em wrote:Pete rousell from coaching search said this about 2 hours ago..
Tulane AD Rick Dickson couldn't be farther away from Mike Leach (Hawaii vs. Key West), but he may be closer than ever before.

I was saying months ago that RD should be fired. And I've done my share of venting. If you have a problem with my reasoning above let me know what it is. But the above came off poorly.

Most whispers considering Tulane right now are Mark Hudspeth and Mike Leach.....Hudspeth is my guess as of right now.

Great vid of Hudspeth.
That offseason program at the beginning is just what we need. Leach makes a bigger splash, but they'd both be great hires. Our team is way too soft.

Saw this posted in the LSU board with regard to the Ole Miss job.
I hope this is right and we don't have to worry about Ole Miss pulling an Arizona on us with regard to Leach.Sat behind Archie yesterday. Told him I hope he makes a terrible decision.
Super nice guy. Asked about Leach. Said Leach is who the fans want but no way he would mesh with administration and donors.
Also asked about Sumlin. He said Sumlin really wanted the Arizona job and that he wasn't interested in Ole Miss. I was surprised but he said Sumlin is concerned with the racial aspect.
He said they have contacted a number of candidates but won't really start interviewing till after this weekend. I was shocked with how open and seemingly honest he was. He was really enjoying the atmosphere of the game.

With regards to hudspeth, is this his first year at ull? If so, is he not winning with bustles players? Just wondering, can the guy recruit. Bustle got alot of credit for upgrading the talent over there.

If he is anything like Mullen at Miss State I think he would be awesome. The exact opposite of buffet Bob on the sidelines.

The only way this search won't be a complete fail is if we land either LEACH, LEACH, LEACH, hudspeth or maybe haywood.

He's at least the 5th frontrunner that's been named/rumored by someone in the media.TrkWave wrote:Footballrumormill.com is saying that Hudspeth has emerged as our frontrunner.

RR
Leach
Haywood
Jagodzinski
Hudspeth
Yes, he basically is winning with Bustle's players and it is his first year. The thing about Hudspeth is that he has some background - he was a division 2 head coach at N Alabama for a number of years. He was a savvy hire by ULL - get a position coach with head coaching experience for their limited budget.galvezwave wrote:With regards to hudspeth, is this his first year at ull?

Plus, the idea that he won immediately with a losing team seems like it would be a positive. We don't have time to wait for a slow rebuild.
I can't imagine Hudspeth is a bad recruiter. He is very charismatic, and seems like a winner. Has that 'x factor' that makes him relateable to student athletes at the same time as being able to work a room of alumni. High energy.
We've been fixated on two guys because they are brand names. But Hudspeth will be a brand name some day.

Football Rumor Mill also saying that Monday is shaping up to be a bloodbath for coaches. Possibly Tennessee, Az State...
We may be looking at a Tier 4-5 candidate by the time this shakes out and depending on jobs that open up. RD and SC should have wrapped this up a long time ago- despite the money thrown at RR we are not a good looking prospect for good coaches. The longer they delay...the lower my expectations. Hope I am VERY wrong.

It was on topic. No one can do anything but act on assumptions due to the secrecy. Those assumptions are based on the history of those in charge. Simple as that.

Possibly. But you also have to consider that the schools in the market for coaches will have much longer "tier 1" lists than we will, including names that probably weren't within reach for us. Some of those names will be top coordinators. For instance, you would think that the Tennesee's of the world will have their pick of current non-BCS head coaches as well as lower-level BCS guys (like Art Briles, Mike London, etc). The schools that we can't compete with for coaching talent... Well, frankly, we're not going to be competing with.ExileWave wrote:Football Rumor Mill also saying that Monday is shaping up to be a bloodbath for coaches. Possibly Tennessee, Az State...

And FWIW, I don't think there is such a thing as Tier five, just a bunch of tier 3 unpalattable guys we don't want. But I take your point.
However, while we haven't hired a coach yet and it seems like its taken a long time, it is very atypical to see coaches hired in-season. Arizona is the only job that has been filled. Ole Miss is still interviewing, UNC is still interviewing, etc.
I believe that we'll have a coach next week and that it will be the best "resume" hire we've had in decades, including Bowden.

Very good point. Coaching positions are going to open up very soon and possibly, probably some positions at some fairly high-profile programs and then when those programs make offers to the people that they want to bring in the whole domino effect will start and then it's a situation of anyone's guess as to what will transpire.ExileWave wrote:Football Rumor Mill also saying that Monday is shaping up to be a bloodbath for coaches.

If some coach is an ambitious up-and-comer at some lower level program they may well to enjoy having good opportunities come their way.
Tulane sports: small football stadium, very small basketball arena, w̶i̶n̶n̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶p̶r̶o̶g̶r̶a̶m̶s̶, h̶o̶n̶e̶s̶t̶y̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶a̶c̶c̶o̶u̶n̶t̶a̶b̶i̶l̶i̶t̶y̶ , but, hey, now there's tailgating.
yea, if they want to wait a month and take a chance.Fred Dowler wrote:

And we're a good opportunity for a GOOD coach...we've launched a lot more coaches than most schools. Period.
