re: Why not Jim McElwain or Doc Holliday?

It seems to me that C-USA and sunbelt coaches are only desired if they are perceived to be "miracle workers". It's not hard to win at Marshall - recruit any qualified player and plenty of cake majors, solid attendance at that level. I think that's how they look at ULL these days and haven't touched Hudspeth. They may be missing out as both are very good.

I don't see how you can look at Hudspeth any other way than as a miracle worker. What he's done is literally unprecedented.

However, I think he would still need th right circumstances to be successful on a higher level. He's coached in AL, LA, and MS and has great JUCO contacts. He also does okay with recruiting in Florida.
