I'm not sure who it will be. I don't think that they can pay Sid and the facilities at Central are probably still better than what they have at Nicholls. Who ever it is will be in for a tough job.

If Hud gets the job maybe people will start going to the games and Nicholls can stop counting on the visiting team to pay the bills.

Seems like a good fit because he is from Thibodaux and all but is he ready for a head coaching job. How many years was he at UCA and prior to he was a high school coach in Morgan Shitty right? If he takes the job he needs to make sure that they can hire some quality assistants or he'll be hurting for coaches.

I hope he can bring us back to the top like we were when I played for JT. Geaux Colonels!!

Do you want someone from Nicholls to get the job? I say this because I would think it might be better to start over and rebuild with new faces, new theories, and new opinions. I think whoever it is will need to just worry about the defense until it can compete with McNeese and SFA; then go get the offensive players in the 3rd class. I like that they use the flex-bone. I know most will want to throw it everywhere, but that might be death the first year.

Death is exactly what is going to happen the first year anyways to be honest. Those players loved Coach T and were very hurt from his dismissal. He was definitely a players coach and did all he could to keep them afloat.

As hard as it is to say, I think that new faces, schemes, philosophies is the best for Nicholls right now. I'm not sure that will happen though. Nicholls is on a very tight budget with athletics and can't seem to keep any good assistants longer than a one or two seasons.

I think they should slowly move out of the option into a more balanced attack. The freshman qb is the best thrower that I have seen in Thibodaux in a long time and it seems as if there are some receivers that are willing to go get the ball. Staying with the option kills the defense. Hence the reason why they were on the field all year long. 3 and out all year long except for the game against SLU/ The defense is not the major issue in recent years. They tend to hold their own until the end of the ballgame and that is a sign of coaching and fatigue. Besides, they have put a few players in the pros recently and they are both getting legitimate PT. Shouldn't be a problem to get players on the defensive side of the ball with Gruden saying "That kid Webb from Nicholls State" every chance he gets on MNF.

Well one thing I know hud would do is something that the coaches in all 3 major sports should do, and that's recruit local talent. For instance there are tons of kids from the mc/berwick/patterson area that NEVER get a look from nicholls and go other places. I'm sure that happens a lot all over the state in every sport. I just think it would help the programs in a variety of ways.

There are some very bad things going on at Nicholls. The AD is so bad. There are letters to the president asking for his dismissal. All the Touchdown Club Members (modeled after Taf) are irate. Not only did they fire their coach, but froze their money. It is all about money. They expect the HC to raise all the money to be shared with the whole Athletic Dept. Thomas refused to do so. Daye did that for years and then formed the football club.The new coach will have to find a new set of fans and donors.Coach Thomas is a really good coach. He tried to recruit the area players, but they were non-qualifiers. Never could pass at Nicholls. Sad. Sad. Sad.
