Hud or Diaz?

Which one would you rather have back?
I don't think our WR have progressed. Hud was our co-offensive coordinator and WR coach, also a dang good recruiter. Diaz was an excellent Defensive Coordinator and was given a great chance by Coach Mullen. We miss Diaz, but we miss Mullen more. Mirando has been an ace recruiter, but we need more disciplined routes and routes and blocking from our WR.

Hud... have you seen the playcalling since he left. The defense is about what I expected but the offense as digressed very noticeably.

Tough one, Backer...but I would say Diaz too. Mirando had his guys ready for the Gator Bowl but they havent performed well this yr, IMO. Diaz just seemed more aggressive from what I remember. I read all the threads...its the same schemes and system with Wilson but we just look a bit slower and dont tackle as well.
But Hud would be a great coach in waiting.

Diaz is the easy answer, BUT it's not an apples to apples comparison on Defense because we lost KJ, Chris and Pernell. I think if we still had those guys the defense wouldn't look much different than last year.
On the other hand our WR's are the same group and they are no better than last year, maybe worse. I like Angelo's efforts on the recruiting trail, but Hud has been at this a while.
I'm taking Hud (since KJ, Chris and Pernell weren't an option).

Hud for recruiting. The Mississippi kids love them some Hud. He can relate to the parents much better than some of the folks on staff because he knows what they want to hear since he's from here.

Hud....he has been the better influence on the offensive side of the ball out side of Coach Mullen.
Do not think there is a nickel's worth of difference between the "air guitar strumming prodigy" from MTSU and the fellow calling the defense for us now.
Ellis Johnson was the best DC we have had in many years. Too bad he hated to recruit and his wife hated Starkville.

HUD, hands down. Recruiting, influence on offense, etc.
I think Wilson is doing every bit as good as Diaz would be as we go thru LB and DE growing pains.
Ask LSU which defense was the best they have faced so far. They had a lot more success against ORE & WVU.

Some of you really need counseling, eventually in your lives you're going to have to learn how to let things go and realize you have to let go of the past.

Yall are quick to forget, early last year our defense struggled and many queestioned the diaz hire (gave up more yards to alcorn qb than anyone all year) and now he is some sort of legend. That guy coached a extremely talented complete defense. Do yall not think he saw the writing on the wall and the talent droppoff this year would cool his name significantly, so he struck while the iron was hot?
That said, hud all day, way more hc experience

I'm real surious to see what the comments on this thread look like at the end of the game....

We definitely have issues on defense. We did make adjustments but Georgia also went conservative, which they should have after realizing we had no way to score on offense. The major problem we have right now is Relf, it is difficult to watch right now.

Those that fail to learn from their history are doomed to repeat it.
