“This was not an easy decision, but a very personal one,” Hudspeth said. “I need to take some time away from the game with Tyla and the kids. I could not be more thankful for my time at Austin Peay and will be a fan forever. I will miss the players and coaches incredibly and will never forget their commitment to each other and this team. I will return to coaching in the future at the right time.”

Harrison will retain the remainder of the Austin Peay football coaching staff, which will lead the program while Harrison and his staff determine the next steps forward. Austin Peay’s football team is scheduled to begin organized team practices on July 31.

Interesting, this guy is a heckuva Football Coach. Believe it or not, APSU has had outstanding talent since at least 2014. They were just, possibly, the worst Coached Football Team in America. Will Healey went in there and changed the culture in 2 years, turning a 13-10 record into an FBS job, and then Hudspeth came in and made them a very good Football Team in 1 year, as I saw in their semi-shootout with Mercer & we saw...nope, not gonna mention it / flushed it. Anyway, great Coach, but something always seems to be a bit amiss in his programs. It will be interesting to see where this story might lead.

I was about to post that but FUBeAR beat me to it. I live in Clarksville and know several APSU alums. I will check and see if there is more to that story. I suspect that there is.

The old coach at North Augusta told me that if he ever decided to “step back and spend more time with his family” that meant he had been fired. He jumped ship for Greenwood. I read a year ago that he had “decided to step back and spend more time with his family” after a pretty rough few years. Coaching in Italy now.
