Boomer Esiason.... correction Phil Simms

I don't see him leaving anytime soon, but if Heupel does leave, I don't see us struggling as badly to find a replacement this time around. Thanks to Heupel, the program is in much, much better health now and viewed in a much better light. I'm sure we'll be out from under the NCAA threat sooner rather than later. Once that unknown is resolved, there's little that a prospective coach would have to complain about. Question would be if we can identify the right guy. I like our odds much better with White making the call vs Fulmer tho.

The secret sauce in our offense is the speed leading to busts and wearing down opponents. Those advantages are going to be significantly reduced facing disciplined, well conditioned NFL defenses on a weekly basis. Trust me, this is good news. It makes it alot less likely we lose him.

With the same level of ability and disciplined players on an offense as the caliber of players the defense has Huepels offense works. Look at Mike McDaniel with the Dolphins. They don’t run the exact same offense obviously but you can see very similar principals in the play calling. They don’t run the offense as fast but they go at a decent pace for the same reason we go fast. McDaniel runs a lot of the stack receiver and route concepts that Huepel uses that make the defense be disciplined in their communication or else Hill or Waddle one are getting as open as you can get in the NFL. They run a lot of the stack concepts from a fast snap after motioning.

There's nothing special about stacking receivers, lots of teams do that, what's special about our offense is the speed, it forces mistakes. We've seen what happens when we play a disciplined defense with NFL talent against the Dwags the last two years though, it slows it considerably. The same thing would happen in the NFL. Again, this is good news, it makes him unlikely to leave for an NFL gig.

I'm not so sure about that. I believe I've seen a few teams try it off and on, KC for one. And I might be mistaken, but I think Peyton ran something like it with the Broncos, but it was probably closer to the Leach air raid.

Pur system is way different. Wide splits, half-field reads, Tempo. The tempo is key. NFL teams won't do that.

Boomer Esiason and Sam Wyche ran the no-huddle, hurry-up offense all through the 1988 season in Cincinnati. As a side note...Boomer was the best (I've ever seen) at the play-action fake. He was so good at it that often the camera man would follow the fake.

I was a big fan of the Bengals back in those days. They earned my affection by taking a UT center as their all time first draft choice (Bob Johnson if my memory is correct). And before Boomer was Bob Anderson (again if memory serves) and Collingsworth at wide receiver. Collingsworth may have more to the Boomer era. Long time ago.

Merry Christmas Vol Nation.

I think he was saying our offense wouldn't work in the NFL, which, it wouldn't. That's why I'm not very worried about Heupel leaving for the NFL at any point. It'll be Oklahoma that gets him, if anyone.

If coach JH has a couple more seasons like this year and considering how he was ran out of Norman what is there to suggest he would leave for there?

It's the most likely risk, I didn't say it was something likely to happen. I don't see him leaving for another college and for reasons I've stated, the offense really isn't going to translate well to the NFL. The pull of the alma mater is strong and Bob Stoops won't live forever.

Will not happen, period.

White is the key to Huepel.

Um,

he was aligning his statement to the FACT that the Titans offense is terrible and they should take a look at the offense in K'ville that has no problem scoring.

not about CJH going to the NFL.

NFL would quickly figure the CJH scheme out.

get real

Merry Christmas!
