AND in only 3 recruiting seasons. It won't officially be totally "his guys" until next season. We've been on a rocket ship ride the past 4 years and many are just now noticing. IF he stays a long time, he will be one of the giants in Vol History. Enjoy the ride. (plus he really seems to not be an ass like most of his counterparts).I realized in another thread that Heupel is still operating on lower scholarship count. His staff has accomplished so much while handicapped.
TN future is bright.
Geez folks make it simple. 10 out of 15.
Common denominator: 5
When you divide both by 5 you end up with.......................... 2 out of 3. Or 0.67. Multiply by 100 = 67 percent (rounded).
To get to know Heupel, ignore 2021. Remember where we were in 2021? That's not reflective of the new coach, it's more about a gutted roster and a program under scrutiny. And that program thrown up against the #1, #4, #11, and #13 teams in the country.2021 1-4

So instead, measure Heupel vs Top 25 teams from 2022 to 2024: 9 wins, 4 losses. And 9 of 13 is a 69% win rate.
Yah, he da man. And that percentage is just going to go higher as the years roll.
Go Vols!
