Josh Heupel emerges (old thread)

Frost took over a team that went 0-12 the year before. Heupel took over a team that went 14-0 a little different right?

I never said it was the same.

I’m saying it’s not like Frost was there for 10 years getting his stuff going. Did frost build everything....even up to now in just his two seasons?

Heck Frost was great. I wanted him at Tennessee (and I don’t want Heupel). Just saying your not going to keep that 13-0.....all the time.......12-1 and 10-3 is pretty well sustained.

They went 6-4 this year with lots of Covid problems (having many players opting out for the season). Only saying I wouldn’t use “just” this year as to if he can coach or not.
 
It will be financially hilarious, if we paid Danny White all this money, and he turned around and dropped $120,000 on a search firm, only to raid UCF and hire Heupel for the second time in his career.

And I am sure you and some others will complain like the armchair warriors you are. Instead of actually giving someone a chance, you just automatically assume failure.

I like this hire if true........ Heupel is an offensive coach that has done well at Central Florida and why would he not want to move up and follow his boss to Tennessee?
 
Ride coattails......are you serious?

Frost has ONE good year period.

You people need to know more of the situation before making your own argument.

In 3 years Heupel has lost 1 more game than Frost did in 2 years.......Frost was only there for 2 seasons......not like he was there for a decade installing his system.

UCF had around 13 players who “opted out” for the entire season.
That’s a good point
 
You mean Frost built a less than .500 team into an undefeated squad and that's what he gave to Heupel? This isn't complicated. And, UCF was working under the same conditions as anyone else this year.

Not too sure every team had an entire starting squad amount of players opt out for the season.
 
One thing I DO like about this coaching search...blood pressures are going through the roof....and my portfolio is LOADED with blood pressure medication stock...just loaded!! Woohoo!!!
 
Agree here we got our first choice. I know y’all think Franklin Turned is down and all but I telling you y’all are about to be surprised
I'm not suggesting we got our 1st choice, but Heupel doesn't make sense unless he was very close to the top of DW's list. The timeline doesn't match otherwise. IMO, Heupel would be a hire that would be announced in a week to ten days from now only after being rejected multiple times.

I know the university doesn't really care what we think but...but if we hire a guy like this, without even talking to chadwell or kiffin, or any other big name, I'm gonna be so pissed, and want this so called top notch AD fired..
You and me both!

This search and forum is like watch the "The Thing." No one know WTF is going on or who it is and everybody is freaking...... :eek:
 
I can't imagine this being true based on what I know to be fact. The contract being drafted today was for an offer that had been in the works for a few days. Heupel doesn't make sense.

For those of you that doubt the bold part, I will gladly email Freak (or a mod of his choosing) proof of my contact when this is over. While I have never been given a name of any coach in the search, let it suffice to say that my information comes from someone in the room when the contract is/was signed.

That is strong Peerless98. Ok, I'll defer to you on this. Hope you were encouraged at whomever's name was on it.
 
This may have been leaked to put pressure on someone that is mulling over the decision. #chessnotcheckers

I understand I’m telling you the media is acting like they are in the know I’m telling you they don’t have a clue. White has and is keeping things close to vest. Nothing will leak out
 
I would be reasonably optimistic with Heupel.

Stoops/Leach disciple. National champion quarterback. His offense did well in the SEC when Missouri ran it. Nearly 80 percent winning percentage at UCF.

Apparently the default mode here is "freakout" no matter who is hired if it's not Freeze.

Ok. We've beat the JH to death. He's been thoroughly VN vetted. I'm moving on - back to delusions of grandeur and Malzahn, Campbell, Napier (with a repressed Kiffin thought here and there). If they hire Heupel, so be it, but I think I'd rather waste my time dweling on better things until we see something more credible.

Not only White, everyone in the department. Their AD employees' families don't know names.
