Josh Heupel emerges (old thread)

[BeardedVol]

Are you sure? Or is he just living off of Frost recruits?

He has had diminishing returns the longer he's been at UCF.

If only people would have listened to me yesterday...

To be fair we cant win no matter how well we recruit. If you want offense then this dude will have you humming on that side. Steele knowing defense the way he does would be a great asset for Heupel if this indeed happens.

[bpalmer28]

Nowhere in that did they say he is going to be the HC

Interesting that Osevet has interviewed with Heupel for a spot on UCF’s staff... I like Osevet. He deserves an opportunity to call plays

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

How do you pronounce Heupel?

Hi-Pel is how Hubbs was saying it.


Idk. Id prefer Chadwell over him. He has a face you just want to punch.

 

[JoAllan]

Billy Napier, Josh Heupel, Jamey Chadwell..., someone tell me how they are different

Napier.....kind of like an Offensive Pruitt.....but with head coaching experience. Not saying he is anything like Pruitt (as a person) but the big time program experience. Then he became a head coach and has done well so far.

Heupel, offensive minded guy. Has 3 years coaching experience at a lower level.....has done well at UCF.

Chadwell has a ton of head coaching experience.......almost all of it at lower levels. He builds programs. He improves programs and has a good offensive mind. His O is a bit different.....and takes “some” time to install.

All are O guys. 1 has more Experience as a HC and he builds and has a unique system. One his like a “blue blood” young at head coaching but doing well. One seems more known simply for his offense.......however it seems to be working at UCF.

Sure

Fine, ne t....

I like Heupel, he’s not my first pick but he will definitely be an upgrade from Pruitt. Better than Dykes. I’d rather have Napier but that’s mainly because he’s a TN boy.

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

It’s pretty damn sad the best two coaches out there can’t even get a call. Kiffin and Freeze.

 

[VOLAlum04]

Not a bad coach.
Actually a pretty good coach.

Agreed

 

[rdk4121]

Heupel is a solid coach, particularly offensively. Again we have a defensive coordinator. We just need to figure out the defensive side.

No thanks

That we know of. Or do you have special insider knowledge that says unequivocally that they haven't been contacted?

 

[Vato]

No way

“The ink is not on the contract, but Josh Heupel is emerging as the guy with the best shot at this job.” — Austin Price[/

A lot of those players graduated-left

Exactly. Heupels record has gotten worse each year. So was his first year success due to his coaching or riding the team first built? Getting worse each year doesn’t point to success and ability to build a program.

 

[ButchPlz]

Austin Price has proved himself to be a f***ing moron all through this search so I highly doubt this.

 

[Unimane]

So, this is the best we can do? What suggests Heupel is a good coach, at all? His track record at UCF isn't trending in the right direction now that Frost's guys are leaving.

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

That we know of. Or do you have special insider knowledge that says unequivocally that they haven't been contacted?

It’s pretty obvious at this point if they’re this far down the list.

This all day long. If Mr White doesn’t at least talk to them, then he will be a disappointment in my book.
