Congrats Vols from this Sooner!

Is that you Joe Castliglione?

No doubt there’s history. Apparently Heupel and Stoops haven’t talked since Heupel was let go at OU. There’s some bad blood also not just with Stoops but with other members of the 2000 national championship team. No matter what happens at OU, Heupel will not be a consideration because of that history. Heupel’s stock is skyrocketing. Tennessee football is a career, not a resume builder, unless he took that next step to the NFL.

Tennessee locals know the true worth of Vols football historically. Some might say it’s not as historical as others. If Michigan gets top ten historical clout, then Tennessee is in the same conversation. Vols may only have two poll era titles by virtue of AP and Coaches, but one could easily see the Vols also had National Championship teams worthy of AP and UPI standards in 1938, 1939, 1940, 1950, 1967. In essence, that’s SEVEN national championships total with 1951 and 1998. Let’s not forget that if not for the two ties in 1985, that was a national championship for Tennessee. Take away historical poll politics, the prestige of Tennessee is on par with the elites we all know of today.

Heupel is a National Championship quarterback coaching a program that is looking to add to their National Championship resume. Heupel is Home.

You're making it awfully hard to dislike Oklahoma right now

I don’t disagree with any of what you said and no I’m not (necessarily) worried. But if Venables trips up it’s the discussion that’s going to happen. It’s clear Hype wants to be here and is enamored with the environment hell who wouldn’t be right now. There is also all the “history”. But at the end of the day this is a business and Hype is a big boy. Again it’s White’s job to lock him up

Ain’t no way White won’t lock him up. At least the package he will put in front of Hype will be extremely hard to turn down. We’ll match and exceed anything else. Then it just comes down to how Hype feels about OU. I’d like to think it’s the same as how Dooley felt about UGA being an Auburn player and grad, like Pat Dye felt about Auburn being a GA player and grad. Hoping Hype sees this as his home.
