-I don't see us beating UGA
-I think Florida we win
-**Oklahoma flip a coin. I think Heupel gives it his all to beat his alma to prove himself. I see him preparing for this game MORE than any other. Oklahoma will put their heart into this game. Imagine Peyton Manning coaching somewhere else against us. We'd try to kick his ass.
-Bama flip a coin
0 losses build a statue of Heupel and name a road after him, have him run for governor, would be way more impressive than 1998 schedule. Neyland level.
Imo 1 loss is probably given (playoff!) A++ season, contract extension level, statue status. Would be like 98 to me considering the schedule is freaking hard.
2 is highly likely (playoff likely!!) A+ season, I'd put 4 more vol stickers on my car. Would be an amazing season and anyone criticizing the future would be a crack head.
3 somewhat expected (woopsie season, if we don't show up vs UF/OU/Bama, like the mizzou game last season) B- season, I'd still be happy that we are trending in SEC and defend Heupel against criticism, because this is expected to me. Intellectually honest, this would be where I'd imagine we end up.
4 Likely won't happen, C- season, would be slightly sad and watch the good ole glory days all offseason. This would be if we piss our pants vs uf ou Bama uga. Wouldn't really be upset at Heupel as this is what I almost expected but we piss our pants against a surely winnable game, which would be concerning. Criticism would be fair here as it means we are not winning by/from coaching.
5 would be some Pruitt ****, F-, fire the coordinators liquidate the generals. It would be if we lose all tossups and a gimme game. I'd expect Heupel to fire all the vulnerabilities and take blame. If he owned up to this failure no problem, still have some level of sales material for recruiting, just not much hype.
6 would be bad HC level, 1 final season of tolerance before evaluating new options. Means we got outcoached all season.
7+ would be fire him now burn **** for me. (Lose all tossup and more) Would have 0 excuses and would see him just like Dooley Jones & Prooproo
wouldn't trust anything coaches say again
