Heupel’s Tenure and ‘23 Retrospective

[BigOrangeTrain]

It’s how this all works. Bad losses count more than wins do. This season looks to have more bad losses than big wins. That will always turn up the heat.

lol. Heupels seat is ice cold.

This was never Tennessee's season. Any hope of it being the SEC East season ended for me at Florida. Georgia is not losing to anyone.

I will and when we win 9 I will remember it.

Look at the schedule. Show me the 9. If we lose to Bama/ UGA and Oklahoma then we have to beat Florida and NC State. We also haven’t beaten Arkansas in 17 years. I don’t see it.

If ice cold means absolutely no danger for 2023, then yes. But it’s not the same temperature as it was after the orange bowl. Trending warmer.

There is exactly zero evidence that Heupels seat is even warm. But believe what you want.

I have failed to make my point so I’ll try one final time. Heupel’s seat is in no way as cold as it was after the orange bowl. Thus it is a bit warmer. How much is all subjective.

Yeah, he needs to get out of that awful situation. Must be maddening trying to figure out which 5* to start each week.

Yeah I feel you. Heupel should get until at the very least ‘25. It’s just that last year “How long should we give Heupel?” didn’t even seem like a question.

Honestly, it's still not a question in my mind at this point. We will probably be 8-4, possibly 9-4, hardly a disaster in what everyone agreed going in was going to be a transition season. Problem is, the taste of success last year, way ahead of schedule, made many believe we were already back even though it was clear we were still 2-3 recruiting classes away from being close to that level.

How do you know what the OL will look like? Also Nico will be much better than Milton. It’s gonna be better. The days of us going 7-5 for multiple years are over.

How do you know?

No SEC quality starting QB tends to do this to a team.
No quality QB changes the whole dynamic of a game. Play calling (offensive and defensive), flow of the game speed, making other players better, and actually # of penalties.
