Josh Heupel emerges (old thread)

[RiseToTheTop]

its hard to believe we stepped out of the box and ponied up to hire/pay a proven leader like White just for him to bring along his buddy that he hired in the American Conf.

 

[Border Vol]

My bank President buddy in Knoxville says his connections are all telling him that it’s Heupel.

 

[Roustabout]

Come on Roustabout, I don’t have a mental disorder. I think if a coaches name pops up, I believe we should put it here, rumor, hearing, or anything else. A lot of coaches names are popping up now.

You’ve started down absolute bat **** crazy threads with unfounded claims. Just add that one to list.

 

[bigfredtn]

I would feel better about Derek Mason than Heupel. seriously.

Can't leave out Charlie Strong.

 

[Ron Dodson]

I think this would be a great hire. Better than the others they’ve been talking about or to. Josh Heupel - Wikipedia.

 

[salutethehill]

Dang some of yall aint never heard of Josh Heupel? Dude was a baller at Oklahoma. Wait... that was 21 years ago. I'm a geezer.

 

[RiverVol]

As a guy who inherited an undefeated team, with a pure win-trend downward as HC, you would like to see at least 1 year of a turn back to the North before you think he can rebuild your program.

 

[JoAllan]

He won with the team which went 13-0 and has gotten worse every year. No sugar coating that. Butch rolled off Kelly for two job upgrades in the same manner.

ummm.....what?
There is nothing to sugarcoat.

Do you mean he won “at” a program which went 13-0 the previous year?

How many seniors on that team?
How many transfers?
How was that first year recruiting compared to Frosts previous?

NOT the same team.

You understand in 2018 Clemson went 15-0, the next year they lost a game......this past year they lost 2..........dang Clemson is just going downhill.

Over/Under for Heupel’s next coaching gig after 4 years in the UT state pen: Louisiana Lafayette

If we're down to our 7th or 8th choice we hired the wrong ad and overpaid him immensely

You’re right, we shoulda hired a guy like White, 10+ years ago and we’d be picking our guy right now.
GBO!!

 

[Perspective]

Maybe a ray of hope

White has never made a hire in this spotlight.

I hope that’s true, but UCF being caught off guard is either gamesmanship, or Heupel and White don’t follow convention/etiquette.

 

[aredfox28]

What’s that matter? Is he succeeding with those recruits?

Records gone down every year right? I thought that's what I heard.

Probably take a few years off after he gets a massive buy out from UT.

 

[RiverVol]

Our fanbase is definitely not chock full of actuaries.

I’m hoping that this is why we literally haven’t heard anything about Chadwell. I would love for all of this to be misdirection. Oldest play in the book...and NOTHING leaked one way or another about him. Nothing.

 

[JoAllan]

No I don’t expect UCF to stay at 13-0 every year. But when there’s clear regression season over season, it calls into question the ability of the HC.

This year no doubt......however it wasn’t great for a lot of teams.

However 12-1 then 10-3........that’s probably what one should expect.

Again I’m not a Heupel guy........I’d rather have many current coaches and even a Couple coordinators....over him.

 

[volman128]

Welp, see y'all in three years. Same time and place.

 

[sanefan]

Anyone else think thats a little shady if true. Your last employer is already needing an AD and now you take their coach too. Thats a way to burn a bridge. lol

This times 1000

 

[Vols1966]

If this is our coach I will support him! His offense is wide open and will be fun to watch!

Where has time gone?

 

[RiseToTheTop]

the fact he is right in the middle of Orlando FL and cant recruit well enough to put even an average defense on the field is pretty staggering.

 

[cgroce30]

I think its hilarious that all of you that are so angry believe this was White's first option. If he has been turned down multiple times, give the dude credit for it not turning into a circus like previous experiences. This wouldn't be the worst hire ever. Give it a shot and support the team.

 

[ATPVol]

Is it me, or does hiring Danny White...then following it up by hiring his former HC....just feels dirty?
