This has “I’m getting a raise from Indiana” feel to it.

Has he informed Mark Cuban?

Why would we hire a strength and conditioning coach who relies on graduate transfers? Asking because: Is it a great hire or are we making a mistake of hiring anyone associated with Cignetti?

I don’t keep up with Indiana that closely. What is the secret behind their success and which coaches just happened to be there?

32? Kinda young isn’t he?

Dude, I'm loving this offseason. CJH is addressing the needs.

 

[Walkman]

Fantastic hire!!!!

 

[AstonRoyal]

oh nice was he with heupel at UCF?

 

[strongj81]

Based on what I saw in the game last night or Indiana's body of work. Appears to be a homerun hire. Didn't see any injuries and team looked fresh for all 60 minutes!

Gbo!

He was for one year apparently

He’s young and proven….GREAT HIRE! It’s time to get back to being super physical and mentally tough!!!! GB

Just came to say the same thing......thought they looked great the whole game. RBs trucking people, WRs blocking with power (Jakobe got run over on a sweep), D-line was in the backfield all night. Great hire in my humble opinion based on pure optics.

Alright Josh, you got the high-potential groceries…now go cook the high-dollar meal.

Go Vols.

I like the hire a lot. But as I have said over and over, it still all starts with Huepel. HE sets the tone for what this team will be. This guy will simply develop whatever physical/mental attributes Huepel wants in his players. Unless Huepel has really looked in the mirror and had a change in attitude, it wont matter.

I caught a glimpse of this guy and it looked like he was saying his goodbyes. A great hire by Josh.

What a world we live in when hiring a coach from Indiana is a big win for the Vols. (Yes, I know this guy worked with Heup before). Still getting used to the fact Indiana is now relevant in football.

Just curious why didn’t Indiana counter offer?

 

[Zues1]

Man that was a fast hire. UT must have been standing at the locker room door with a pen and contract in hand. Lol

How do you know they didn't?

Now that’s what I’m talking about.
