Heupel’s contract

[BDP!]

Surprised CJH didn’t get a raise or at least an extension.

 

[stolitonic]

Didn't we give him a pretty good bump a few years ago and then another on top of that one?

Heupel seems like he's perfectly happy here and has a good relationship with D White I wouldn't worry too much about it right now.

I'm sure when the time comes, his contract will be updated.

 

[Rocky Top T]

He got a raise and extension in 23

Why bury the actual topic of a thread behind a click? "Surprised CJH" could mean almost anything.

I thought he got something for making the playoffs. It might have been a bonus and not a raise but I think there was sometime of reward in his contract that triggered.

ADs should all collude to quit giving huge raises short of bringing home championships (or goin to a bowl game if you’re Vandy). Healthy Bonuses for achievements that fall short of a championship should be more than sufficient.

Have to keep the carrot under the nose of lazy coaches, or they will never achieve anything but a huge buyout at the university's expense. We are seeing that right now.

I think we need to see the O improve before another extension is given

How can any sane person justify giving him another extension after the Ohio State playoff embarrassment and the Nico ordeal that he tried to cover up?

 

[RDU VOL#14]

I’m sure he received he a bonus that was tied into his contract for reaching the college football playoff.

Care to elaborate on this?

pretty sure he is already extended until 2028

Why do some of our posters have to huff paint for a living?

Not coming clean about Nico's family extortion ring back in January. The rumors were already out there, about Nico threatening to hold out of the playoff game. Instead of doing the right thing and telling Nico to leave, Heupel tried to cover it up (going into Spring camp pretenders all was well eith the QB situation was a cover up),until the situation blowed up in his face and now the Vols dont have a legit QB heading into next season. Heupel being lazy will eventually catch up to him.

Long story short, your coach lied to all of us.

This is the kind of ignorance that has made Tennessee irrelevant for a few decades.

I don’t think anyone expected this to take the turn that it did. Meaning no sane person w/ a good plan would actually leave Tennessee, a CFP team last season, for a 3rd rate Big 10 team like UCLA, while simultaneously taking a 50% pay cut. I don’t blame Heupel for trying to keep things in house and I certainly don’t think you kick Nico out of the program in the winter portal. If you tell him to kick rocks in January he potentially ends up at a rival school in the SEC. Both UGA and Bama need quarterbacks . I understand you love to always paint us in a bad light, but I don’t think anyone other than you, Big Nic and TJ Houshmenzadeh has had this same opinion, its pretty on brand .

If he shows out this year I bet he will be rewarded with one of the top 6 biggest contracts.

 

[RockyTop140]

How is that ignorance? He’s making 9 million a year through 2028. His job is secure and he’s being paid well.

To extend any further at this point without seeing the offense improve seems like a risk.

Agreed

 

[DaddyChad]

How is that ignorance? He’s making 9 million a year through 2028. His job is secure and he’s being paid well. The argument that a coach needs at least 4 years in his contract for recruiting has pretty much evaporated since NIL.

To extend any further at this point without seeing the offense improve seems like a risk.

Heupel will have job security. If not here it will be somewhere else. Tennessee football has turned into a cash cow after being on the ropes before he got here. Not keeping him locked in is beyond short sighted; it’s Fing stupid beyond words. Bright side is if they let Heupel leave you’ll have something to bitch about for the next decade.

And he should be. Consistently puts out one of the statistically best offenses in the country. Generally wins every home game even when against superior talent.

Is having a contract through 2028 making 9 million a year not secure? I’d understand if he only had a couple of seasons left in the contract. He has 4.

I've seen you post some idiotic stuff before, but this takes the Grand Prize. Are you of adult age?

 

[MiramarVol]

Heap received bonus money for the playoffs. He's good.

Again that wasn’t what I was replying to. You said we should wait on an extension till the offense improves. If the guys keeps winning 10 games a year you do whatever you need to to retain him.
