Hudspeth led the program to a record 11 wins, and FCS quarterfinal appearance. But in a quote released by the school Hud said he needed more time with his family.
"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."
