I'll show myself out….

Are we thinking Hale being on campus was leverage for him to renegotiate at Arkansas?
Thanks to everyone keeping this thread going. It's been fun and I can't wait to hear how it turns out!

So I guess we are waiting to talk to Bell after they end their tournament run? Doesn't mean we'll get him just that they are waiting to talk to him I suppose. Otherwise we'd have hired Hale or Lie or another Coach who doesn't have a team playing.

or has Trev been pulled from the search to start lobbying for the football team

Hearing it might be Sian Hudson

I don't think its any different than U.S. players.

so I asked jeeves since we are getting a welch coach

Harder Aspects:
Bureaucracy: Immigration steps can add 1-3 months; errors might lead to visa gaps or deportation risks.
Scholarships: Internationals often compete for limited spots, and transferring mid-year might mean losing aid at the old school while securing it at the new one.
Timing: Portal windows are short (e.g., 30-45 days), and aligning with academic calendars or visa renewals can be tight.
Costs: Fees for certification, translations, and potential travel for visits.
NIL Restrictions: Internationals on F-1 visas face barriers to name-image-likeness deals, which might influence school choice but isn't directly tied to transfers.bdb433

the Canadian forward would be nice addition

NIL issue should be a benefit for us bc we fund collies 100%

Explain why I should.be fired up to hire her?

She isn't Coach G

and she is Welch so she will have a funny accent and folklore stories and won't have the players standing on the sidelines holding a piece of rope

And her team has been moving up lately, she must be adjusting well to the new landscape in collegiate athletics, transfer portal, and international players.

Their first and third leading goal scorers who scored more than our entire team combined will return for her as well. Ava Galligan and Sariyah Bailey.

Also if it's not Bell why hasn't there been any announcement. Are we going to be like Florida waiting for Kiffin.

Bell should have been available for 2 weeks now

FSU should win 4 to 0 vs TCU so they prob win and he stays with a phat raise he been playing us

What Sian Hudson brings to the table

• Proven track record of program building. Hudson transformed the program at LSU Tigers. Under her tenure, LSU achieved its highest-ever national ranking (No. 5 in 2021). LSU+2LSU Sports+2
• Consistent postseason success. Since 2021, the team under Hudson has qualified for the NCAA Tournament every year giving LSU sustained success rather than a flash-in-the-pan result. LSU+1
• Strong recruiting and player development. Reports show multiple players coached by Hudson advanced to professional ranks. LSU+1
• Experienced, well-rounded soccer background. Hudson isn't just a coach she played for the Wales national team (senior and youth levels), giving her first-hand experience at an international level; she has also coached successfully across different levels (club, youth, NCAA Div II and I). LSU+2LSU+2
• Strong emphasis on culture and development. At LSU she helped improve not just the on-field performance but overall team culture, academic performance, and program stability. LSU+1

An amazing video…but the fact that they were on the heavy side makes it even more hilarious

The waiting sucks.
