ESPN Disrespects Heupel

[MoonshineVolunteer]

ESPN just wrote a article where they rank to top 10 college coaches:

1. Kirby
2. Deboer
3. Utah coach
4. Dabo
5. Norvell
6. Lanning
7. Sarkisian
8. Kiffen
9. Kansas coach
10. Day

Others receiving votes:
Brian Kelly, Lincoln Riley, Ferentz, Fickell, Drinkwitz, Mack Brown, Mike Grundy, Jonathan Smith, Deion, Curt Cignetti, Chris Kleiman, Jon Sumrall.

None of the espn guys even gave Heupel a vote. Coaches at Tulane, Indiana, Michigan St, Kansas, Kansas St, Missouri, and Ole Miss all getting votes ahead of the coach of the Tennessee Volunteers? WTH?

Help has gotten us from Cornbread to just a few plays away from the SEC title game and the CFP in 3 years. I don’t get it. Why doesn’t espn like Heupel?

10+ wins per year (even including Bowl games) will change that.

Who the f***k cares? It's your fault for watching or reading anything produced by ESPN, and worse yet for taking it seriously enough to actually start a thread.

 

[OrangeInKy]

Oh no! I’ll get the torches and pitchforks ready.

 

[Capt Whiskey]

Those lists are all "what have you done for me lately". Look at Drinkwitz, he's 5-5, 6-7, 6-7, and 11-2 at Mizz. He's honorable mention for his 2023 season. I'm sure Heupel was on one of these lists this time last year for the 2022 season.

 

[Big Orange Rob]

ESPN is pretty much garbage on everything except the actual games they televise.

 

[JCHateSteve]

 

[Panthro]

I have a feeling that will change after the next two seasons!

 

[VOLfrombama]

more motivation for him

 

[Vol4gzus]

Same ole thing we all know. It's like some expect eSPn to like us. Any pub from them gets that new thread going Licketty split. Loooong way to futbol season.

 

[Vol737]

ESPN is devoid of critical thought or rationale. Could not care less what they think of us or Heupel. Just go out, win and win big and don’t give ESPN the time of day, only the middle finger.

Good thing that poll don’t win us games

First post. Hopefully it's the last...

 

[TNRazor]

This list is a joke. Kiffen is the most over-rated coach ever. He's done a decent job at Ole Miss, the only other thing of note that he's done is run USC into the ground.

Why the venom?I'd have just moved on to a different thread.

Are you honestly surprised?

It’s a well-documented bias.

lol this what the off season about clicks… pre season lists are fun but mean absolutely nothing… post season have a little more weight and wins and losses always take care of that… Heup is about to lead us to the playoffs this year.

Sorry dude, I see this is your first post. Someone should have warned you that most of the posters on here really just look to reply with something cutting about your post, rather than address the subject you brought up. A common practice on VN these days.

Actually, looking at the list, I see exactly what you're talking about. There are a lot of suspect names on there. Take Ferentz, for instance, who CJH just handed him his own butt at 35-0. And several others, too.

Look at last years record for each coach listed or in the case of Dabo, nattys. No real mystery here.

 

[Raebo]

OP, do something about it. Boycott anything ESPN for 1 year.
Sorry OP, I couldn’t resist. There has been a million threads saying ESPN hates us. (But they seem to like the Lady VOLs. Can’t watch a women’s basketball game without Pat Summitt being mentioned).

 

[Hacksaw]

Man, it's almost like ESPN sucks or something.

 

[Cod]

ESPN might be biased towards us, really don't care Heupel will use it for motivation

 

[jeff1vol]

Deboring? Sure. Let's talk next year. Welcome to the SEC lil buddy.

Drink gonna have a fun time this year w/o a senior laden D and no all sec running back to gobble up time of possession keeping D off the field. Expect fall back to 6 win threshold for flash in the pan Miz. We on the other hand will be back in the 9-10 win area for third straight year where we will stay until maybe Y2 w/ Nico.
