I actually thought this was you making a case to hire Blake Baker. That would have made more sense from your post.

He was always a QB prior to moving positions due to being young with a junior/senior the last 2 years. Will they take a look at him there again or keep him at WR/TE?

Its not likely. They have a QB who is better than people realize. He's played a lot of snaps the last two years. I expect him to remain at TE and catch a lot of balls this year.

I realize that Kyle has no experience coaching college ball, and I know that college and the NFL aren’t the same, but consider this expert from an article about NFL coaching hires over the last 10 years.

But many NFL owners are still inclined to search for The Next Sean McVay -- the rising young coach who could solidify the pivotal franchise role for a decade or more. In the seven cycles since the Rams hired McVay in 2017, nearly half of all head-coaching hires leaguewide (24 of 50, 48%) have come from the same demographic -- under age 45 with no previous NFL head-coaching experience -- including Brian Callahan (Titans), Dave Canales (Panthers), Mike Macdonald (Seahawks) and Jerod Mayo (Patriots) this past offseason. (A fifth, Raiders coach Antonio Pierce, had just turned 45 when he took over on an interim basis during the 2023 season.)

Since 2013, 49/72 head coaches hired were rookie head coaches with no NFL head coach experience. Of those, 3 were hired with ZERO NFL coaching experience.

So why do people assume that he will fail without college experience? Coaching is coaching, and the ones who have it, have it. Kyle Williams has it. If the NFL doesn’t have a problem hiring a HC with no experience, then I have no problem hiring a DL coach with no college experience. If the man can coach, that’s all that matters.

I’ve known Kyle for a long time. I’ve seen what he has helped build at Ruston. I’ve seen him coach and communicate with his players. I’ve seen him counsel them, coach them, and mentor them. He does a tremendous job building relationships. He’s as down to earth as they come. He will be very successful in everything he decides to do in life because of his work ethic.

So let’s pumped the brakes on the fact that he’s going to suck because he doesn’t have experience, and just see how it plays out. BK isn’t in the business of trying to get worse, he’s trying to get better.

The next QB is a better passer than the current QB. Hudson will put up some big numbers the next two years playing with him.

I had a chance to see this kid play against Ruston last week. He was unbelievable. He gave Ruston fits all night long. He played both inside and outside along the DL. He looked great at both spots. I figured he would get tired by the end of the game. He was still going strong in the fourth quarter. He is going to be a really good player of he continues to improve the next year and a half. They even ran a fake punt with him.

They forced Ruston to beat them through that air. It almost worked. Ruston escaped with a 22-21 win.

Who attends Ruston that used to go to West Monroe?

Aidan is such a great kid. Just a natural leader. He was very close to committing to Texas a few months ago. Many people still felt like Texas was the school to beat. He really liked it in Austin. Great job by LSU in staying on him until the very end.

As many have said, he’s going to be a big riser this year in the rankings. He will get more opportunities at returning kicks, and he will see snaps on offense at receiver. This will demonstrate his athleticism and will help his ranking.

Also, Lester is 100% correct. His little brother is a sophomore and will start at FS for Ruston. He will be a high level recruit as well. Don’t be surprised if he is better than Aidan.

Judge Clement is the stepmother of former LSU DE Chase Clement. She is married to his father. Just a side note to all of this.

He was the centerpiece of the Ruston defense. They did a great job of moving him both inside and on the edge. He does an excellent job of playing with his hands. He will bulk up and likely play DT in a four man front or a SDE in a 3 man front at LSU. I’ve watched him play every game for the last three years. He has yet to be dominated on the line of scrimmage. He plays under control. He’s not the guy that flys up the field every play trying to get a sack. The Ruston defense was great against the run and he’s a big reason why. He does have pass rush ability when down and distance comes into play.

And yes, was outstanding in the championship games. They had another DE, Geordan Guidry, that signed with Tulane today. He will be a steal for them as well. And the biggest steal of all is Louisiana Tech signing the three time 1st All State LB Jadon Mayfield. He was the 5A Defensive MVP this year. He wanted to stay close to home. Tech is getting a great LB who has a chance to start next year.

is that the linebacker #22? all over the field making plays if

Breaux is #24 playing all over the DL. Number 22 is senior LB Jadon Mayfield. He is a Louisiana Tech commit. He has been an All-State LB the last two years in 5A. I believe he is the best LB in the state. Lacks the ideal size so he’s not as big of a recruit. But pure football talent, there’s not a better LB in the state. Will have a tremendous college career as well.

Kyle has no interest in coaching at the college level. He and his family are very happy in Ruston. And trust, he is good enough to coach at the college level. He has his defense playing as possibly the best defense in the state. Two weeks ago they held LCA to 26 points and picked off Johnson 5 times. While I know that Johnson isn’t a college QB, take a second to look at what he has done to every other team in the state.

Kyle will be the next HC at Ruston HS and will likely spend the rest of his career doing just that.
