Talk about delusional.

Josh Heupel

Short version:

"My personal choice to take on this daunting task is Josh Heupel. I know all of you can google his biography. Here are a few points to help me come to my conclusion

All American QB, National Champion at Okahoma No doubt he has the ability to coach up QB's.
28-8 record at Central Florida- 13 and 0 run with bowl win over Auburn
7-6 1st yr at Tennessee
Had Alabama down badly and made Saban's defense look lost.
Has Tennessee poised to make the college football playoff. Yes, I believe they beat Ga Saturday.
43-14 .754 % Overall Record
He's young 44, married with 2 young children. What better place to raise a family than Auburn?

Could Auburn reel him in? I know Tennessee will extend him an offer he can't refuse to keep him.

However, in my humble opinion, if you are having a conversation with names like Kiffen, Mark Stoops, Hugh Freeze, Deion Sanders, then for all the reasons above, you at least need to give Heupel a strong look."

The only thing I don't get with the Auburn stuff is how they cycle through coaches and never get criticized but we were constantly raked over the coals every time we changed coaches, even though they were all utterly failing when we fired them.

I love how people assume Tennessee's offense will fall off a cliff once Hooker leaves as if Heupel isn't known for coaching up QBs at all... talented QBs just fall into his lap everywhere he goes.
Probably because they realize how amazing Hendon was at Va Tech before he even met Heup...


Oh, wait...oops let me doublecheck those stats.

Is there a better place to raise children than Auburn, hell yes and the best one is Knoxville Tn.

Milton will start next year and he will do great. Then the following year it’s the Nico show.

Why in the world would he go to Auburn and start a rebuild just when he has us playing good, money is a not a concern we can match any offer so what's the draw? Don't see it.

I am concerned that Heupel will be enticed by another opportunity at some point down the road but I know one thing with certainty… There is a less than a 0% chance that Auburn University has a chance in enticing him.

Auburn fans, just be thankful things are going well with Rick Barnes because we all know that Bruce Pearl would crawl through a bed of hot coals if given the opportunity to return to Knoxville.

Crazy folks - there is no doubt that Kiffy is #1 on their dance cards. They had better be ready to back up the truck though, I dont think Olpiss is ready to lose him and he is making $7.25 with very little pressure ATM. If I were Lane, I would stay at OlMiss until Saban retires and he is likely to be a top contender if he can keep above 9 wins a year where he is. Ol Miss is always the bridesmade though, never the bride lol.

Sanders is a possible choice. He could be great for them but is kinda unknown whether he would make it at this level. Freeze just signed a contract but might come anyway (hope not).

Fortunately, Art Briles is still probably untouchable. Don't need him anywhere in the SEC.

I don't understand why any coach would want to go to Auburn. Nothing inherently wrong with them, they always have potential, but the incessant meddling from boosters and moneymen who think they're entitled to run the program should scare away any coach in his right mind unless Auburn's offering aTm/LSU-level guaranteed money.
