It is mindboggling that less than two years ago Heupel took over a dumpster fire Pruitt left behind and now has them in the probable #1 spot in the initial CFP voting. So far, his second team has beat Pitt, Florida, LSU, Alabama, and Kentucky, all ranked at the time they played. Stop and think about that for a minute.
Go rewatch his introductory press conference. He seems oddly confident that Tennessee would be competitive again. WHO KNEW IT WOULD BE IN LESS THAN TWO YEARS?!?!?!
