I hope coach holds a grudge against the Stoops family and never loses to Kentucky.This is my understanding. Stoops made him a scapegoat when it came to protecting his brother. Stoops is still king over there and I’ve heard there’s still bad blood. I’ve heard some speculation that the greatest danger of losing him would be to the NFL and I can believe it. Fortunately, college coaching pays better than the League these days. We keep him happy and I think he knows what a special place this is and what kind of a coach he can be here. If he lives up to his potential, the only person he’ll ever be in the shadow of is General Neyland.
sadly, most of those teams were ranked earlier in the season based almost exclusively on what happened 20 years ago.That today the AP Top 25 rankings would not include Florida, Miami, Florida State, Oklahoma, Texas, LSU, Notre Dame, Auburn, Nebraska, etc I would’ve said you’re nuts.
* FSU and Oklahoma just lost and will be out tomorrow*
I don't really remember people fearing Dooley or Butch leaving. But I do remember Pruitt beating a top 25 Auburn team his first year and thinking wow this might be the guy. I also remember him beating a top 25 kentucky team same year. Not sure Dooley beat anyone with any significance.Damn we have some stupid fans. Butch is barely a head coach (likely for the last time), and Dooley and Pruitt are a million miles from a head coaching position.
Due diligence will require them to at least start an inquiry. But if Coach is trending in a way to make that practical, will he seriously entertain leaving a program on the rise, while working for a man he is in lock step with, and moving his family from Knoxville to the middle of OK? Does the nature of his departure from there still linger in his thought processes? Has he studied the Doug Dickey leaving UT for his alma mater story? What does he believe about recruiting difficulty to OK while in the SEC? If he still claims Aberdeen SD as home, it is a 12 hour drive to go visit.
You never know, but I am not going to lose sleep over it.
And when Tennessee is where it belongs, it shouldn't be hard to get an elite coach. I just hope Coach Heupel coaches here for the rest of my lifetime.With Danny white being at Tennessee I think it will be hard for CJH to just up and leave. I think he really likes it here. I usually get kind of worried when I hear a rumor like this but this time it just feels different I think we got a coach who is dedicated to getting Tennessee back to where it belongs. If it's money.. I think Danny white gives him what he wants. With the extention he's here until 2028 I believe..

I believe he just got a raise and an extension like in September. Like a million dollar raise and an extension through 2028.I think white is already a step ahead. which he normally is.Look Heupel Will more than likely get something me sort of extension after this year. I would say White recognizes that teams may come after him. I would like to think DW would be smart enough to put a significant buyout attached to the extension.
