Around SBN: Leandro Damiao Is Still Really Good

A First Look at Florida State Linebacker Coach Greg Hudson

Florida State Linebacker Coach Greg Hudson spoke to the media for the first time this year.  This might be the last time he speaks to the media for some time due to the "one voice" policy.  This comes to us courtesy of Andrew Carter, who has really done a nice job recently.  I've embedded part one.  To see parts 2-5, please check out his post.  And his thoughts on Hudson are here.  Hudson was very talkative and had a good time with the media.  He's an engaging personality.

Hudson doesn't need to prove anything.  He's already shown that he is an excellent coach.  He is intent on making FSU's extremely talented linebackers getting back to fundamentals, as they did under Kevin Steele.  He has a lot of "un-teaching" to do after what Chuck Amato did to them (telling them to "go make plays" at the expense of proper technique, fundamentals, keys, and angles).  That is, he wants great plays to come as a result of excellent assignment execution within the framework of the defense and not due to freelancing.  It's especially encouraging that Hudson wants big linebackers who will take on (and shed) blocks.  I'd be surprised to see the average weight of the starting 'backers under Hudson come in at anything less than 235 lbs.

Hudson was a great hire.

I love having sharp, young hungry coaches.

This guy is awesome!

I’m actually kind of surprised he didn’t get the nod for the DC position. He’s essentially a Jimbo disciple.

Gotta think that is the case

I sure like the past where he is gonna make guys responsible for making good choices on the field, not just being at the right place at the right time.

Thank God for the men and women who stand tall in the night to protect this great country we love so much

Yes

I think Stoops will be here 2-3 years before taking the HC position somewhere. Hudson (providing he’s done as good a job as we think he will) will probably then by the DC. I just hope he sticks around a while after that! (He did say he wanted to be HC some day…)

You know,

if Stoops takes a head coaching gig somewhere in 3 years and Hudson takes one 4 years after that, those are 2 more coaches out there under the Fisher’s coaching tree. The Bowdens, Miles, Saban, Smart, Muschamp, Hudson, Stoops, Pelini… All those guys know people and they know people. Fisher can ALWAYS go after a referral from one of those guys (like DJ Eliot) or go after the best available candidate regardless of coaching ties (Mark Stoops).

You want assistants that want to be head coaches. That means they’ll bust their a** to get there while they work for you/FSU.

Best Line...

“I just wanted to be on the team!”
He’s going to love it here, and we are going to love him here.

What an outstanding hire for the Linebackers coach. I love the guy, her even said bless you when someone sneezed. I know it is early , but it seems like FSU is regaining that swagger that we have been missing. Can’t wait until Sept! Scalp Em NOLES!

Cool

I like when he talked about his experience coaching on the offensive side of the ball and how it helped him become a better defensive coach.

Hudson & the other D staff

have a lot of work ahead of them and they need to work fast so that ‘10 isn’t just a rebuilding year. We need to win games in ’10 and winning games will depend on our D.

Nothing can stop us....

by TLHWG on Mar 2, 2010 8:06 AM EST reply actions  

agreed but,

Id much rather see a defense that actually looks like a defense and plays like a defense on the field by making plays rather than getting trapped into the other teams game plan. Way too often last year we bit on the run or underneath pass… gosh i dont even want to relive those moments…..

Thank God for the men and women who stand tall in the night to protect this great country we love so much
