Do you trust Heupel ?

[Bollweevil]

$9Million. No.

 

[Volfan8282]

Weak schedule for 24? Really? Bama, UGA, OU and UF. Not sure what NC state has next year but they are ranked right now.

You’re putting UF in the difficult category?

 

[JoeMiltonsAgent]

Not that my opinion on Heupel matters but I trust the guy more than any of the previous coaches we've seen since 2008.

Ill trust him more if he upgrades from Martinez in the off season and his staff can land some upgrades on O line and the back 7 of the defense.

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

TBD for me. He needs to make some offseason moves on the coaching staff. Need some serious upgrades. And he needs to do well in the transfer portal. His offense requires an intelligent QB that can process things quickly. We need to pray that Nico has it between the ears. If he does, then 2025 and 2026 could be fun. Not expecting a ton for 2024 even with a weak schedule.

Logical post.

 

[ftsandersvol]

I trust him, but he has to seriously evaluate where we need to improve, i.e., defense, predictable play calling, etc., and make the tough decisions required to make these improvements.

 

[volKano]

Glad he is here but he can’t always be their friend. The players knew they were going to win the game and had some ugly penalties. Several intentional.

Has Heupel fired a coach yet?

I don’t think so which is concerning. What some call loyalty, I’m seeing as stubbornness. We shall see.

 

[sonofUT62]

Yeah. 2-16 in the last 18 would indicate a problem.

 

[JustinVol]

Yep, just needs to fire a certain DB coach

 

[Volfan8282]

Agree, but not because UF is a good team or program right now. Our coaches failed this team in that game this year. We had no business losing to them. None.

This team reminded me of the 05 team. Lot of talent but some cohesion and discipline issues. Then Cutcliffe landed in January of 06, and put the fear of God into half the team and the other half followed. Hazle and Banks combined couldn’t hold Cutcliffes jock. One or both of them has to go and an alpha coordinator needs to be brought in.

It doesn’t matter whether we should or shouldn’t beat them. Until we do it on the regular. Especially in the Swamp it is what it is. It’s like those people who have 20 in blackjack and then sit there stunned when the dealer makes a 4 card 21. They weren’t supposed to lose but the bottOM line is the same.

And Banks too

The really good coaches dont:

1. Regress from the previous season.
2. The good coached teams beat the bad teams that they are favored to beat (Florida).
3. They have their teams ready and motivated to play on the road.
4. Good coached teams don't show quit or repeatedly get blowned out.
5. Good coached teams hire the best assistant coaches, because he can't wear all the hats.
6. Has the best players ready to play and on the field and is only loyal to the best players.
7. Good coached teams realize recruiting is a big part of college football success. (5 star hearts ain't gonna cut it)

Heupel has underachieved in all these areas this year. So moving forward, I have lost a lot of trust in him.

 

[sonofUT62]

And Banks too

The firings don’t matter if the replacements are grad assistants from the UCF days. I want people to turn on the news and say “ holy **** “ Tennessee hired……..Fill in the blank. Outside of Garner and Maybe Mack there’s no one on this staff Im invested in. Pope should get at least one more year as his group has been wrecked by injuries and graduation. Hopefully Ellerbee can get 10 legit deep. I’m sure in his worst nightmares, he never imagined playing Lampley/ Lane and Davis at the same time.

Fulmer has a NC

Do you trust Urban Meyer?

Ed Orgeron……Hell Dabo has two titles and he’s the least trustworthy person in college football.

This guy is always clowning

 

[Doberman]

I trust him, for the time being.

He built a lot of goodwill last year, but some concerns certainly surfaced thus year.

I figure he’s got through 2025 before he’ll feel any real heat.

Then by those standards, we have never had a good coach. Ever.

 

[Namorto1]

I trust that Heupel is the best coach we have had since Fulmer. He gives us stability and has shown his offense can be explosive with elite play at QB and talent at WR. The rest is up to recruiting and player development on offensive side of the ball.

He still needs to earn trust on his judgement with respect to having the “best staff around him”. I don’t think our OC is proven enough for the position and we have some obvious coaching issues on defensive side of the ball too.

We need to play with a lot more discipline as well. Not great to have rep as the most penalized team in the league.

I don’t see any oc changes happening

I’m the late 90s when the game was vastly different. How did he do after 2001?

 

[Checker_the_Shire]

You’re putting UF in the difficult category?

We lost to arguably their worst team in over 10-15 years. So I thinks it pretty justifiable they should fall in the “tough category”.
