Heupel to Auburn...This might be the dumbest post I've seen.

[FloridaVolunteer]

They should get Butch Jones.

 

[Orangethumb]

I heard a rumor it's going to be Bill O'Brien. If Heupel goes to Auburn, I'll drive into oncoming traffic.

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.

There is no draw, in the west he’ll have to deal with bama, lsu, arky and ole miss on a yearly basis.

In the East at the moment it’s just GA. He’s got an easier path in the East than the West

 

[Vol423]

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."

This is one of the funnier things I've seen in a while. Thanks for the laugh.

I think he really means it when he says UT gameday atmosphere is as good as college football gets..... because it is.

He aint going anywhere.

 

[Vol423]

Why are they not talking about Pruit? Dooley? Jones? all very "cough" good candidates.

Don't forget Schiano.

Auburn is about to get rejected ten times and then hire Chip Kelly.

u-g-l-y job situation with a bunch of rooster boosters

Chip Kelly wants no piece of the SEC. He'd get his ass handed to him on a weekly basis rather than only once every couple of seasons.

 

[Delmar]

Auburn fans for some reason really believe auburn is the most family oriented SEC school. It stems from them being in bamas shadow and they feel like it gives them an edge in recruiting if they can just push the message enough.

They are also the absolute worst for boosters meddling in the program. An established coach would be an absolute fool to step into that snake pit.

good point! Auburn ends up with...


Tyrone Willingham

 

[Volbrando]

A coach going from TN to Auburn is like Bama to Kentucky lol

 

[AthensVol2007]

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.

2nd year QB’s with Heupel:

Lock 44-13
McKenzie 25-6
Gabriel 32-4
Hooker 21-1
It’s plug and play and improvement across the board.

 

[Doyle Hargraves]

I'm hoping Kiffin goes to Auburn to be a menace to bama and to watch the Ole Miss scum meltdown.

 

[TnVol!]

Jimbo might be available. He's definitely Auburn material.

 

[Chuckvolfan]

I thank he is very comfortable with UTVOLS, and even more so with White. Could always be something come up, but don't see him leaving U T for many years.

I’ll ride passenger with you. No seat belts

 

[cobbwebb0710]

This thread reminds me of someone saying, “this smells horrible, here smell it”

Personally, I hope they hire that “Kiffen” guy.
Your post did make me laugh!

 

[BIG SEXY]

No one not named Pat Dye last more than a few years at Auburn and most end nasty.

 

[FlyFishnVol]

Don't forget Schiano.

I said good, I would never consider a prior OSU coach as good. You can't play FCS schedule and claim to be in the FBS.

 

[YankeeVol]

literally anywhere

Fyp

 

[VonVol2]

Idk, probably literally anywhere

Not so fast. Could be a family of cattle.

 

[DC_Vol]

I just talked to one of my sources and he said that meetings are already on the books for next Monday. Hope it’s not a distraction for the team.

 

[Godfatha]

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.

They're pretty much Tennessee before Danny White got there. Incessant meddling by boosters.

 

[Mccage]

Where's a better place than Auburn?
Bridgeport

 

[tennrich1]

It’s going to be a bit of a challenge for Auburn to hire a proven winner from the Power 5 IMO. They MIGHT be able to lure LK but might have to go the “up and comer” route or a well respected Coordinator. I have no ill will against Auburn so I hope they make a good hire. Was with a friend tonight who was a cheerleader at Auburn back in the day. She just wants the adults (who actually have run something successfully) to be in charge again.

 

[Elhanan]

I don’t think they could get Coach Hypes’ dog to take that job.

Freeze on the other hand would be a good fit and extremely likely to accept.

Wonder if Mullen is being considered?
