Heupel the Man

[Doctor Bart]

Observations from Coach Heupel’s media session today.
- Character matters to him. Words such as “consistency” and “discipline” are like a mantra.
- He is teaching these young men more than football. He is teaching them the attributes of someone who is successful in life- Accountability, attention to detail, preparation, and working for the good of the team. To Coach, these things are all part of what “it means to be a Vol.”
- in a world filled with self-centered people, Coach Heupel reminds us, and his players, that we are not the only thing that matters
- his remarks about Boo were masterful. Without excusing Boo’s mistakes or shortcomings, he expressed love for Boo as a person and made it clear that forgiveness and restoration were available. By refusing to give details, he protected Boo’s reputation, By saying He (Coach Heupel) would be the only source of information on Boo he protects the team from distraction. Most importantly, he stressed the team’s love for Boo as a person.

I’ve always liked Josh Heupel as a coach, today I became an admirer of Josh Heupel the man. A truly class act.

Thanks for the share. Thought highly of Heupel and all of his staff from day 1 as far as people and knowledge goes. Have thought more highly of him with his achievements here thus far. This does show a depth in Heupel that I was not aware of.

Love goes a long way in fixing things.

JH was a highly successful player first at Oklahoma so he knows what it’s like to be that guy.
