In two seasons as the Ragin' Cajuns' head coach, Hudspeth has compiled an 18-8 record and back-to-back bowl victories.    He went 66-21 in seven seasons at Division II North Alabama, and made five playoff appearances. Hudspeth served as an assistant  at Mississippi State for two years (2009-10). He was Navy’s offensive coordinator for the 2001 campaign.

Under Hudspeth's leadership, the Ragin' Cajuns had one of the nation's most explosive offenses, averaging more than 440 yards, and nearly 35 points per game in 2012. This earned a national ranking of #33.
