Josh Heupel emerges (old thread)

[Volsfaninva917]

I don't think you guys realize just how bad Pruitt and Fulmer f!@ked this place

 

[jhen713]

We could do a lot worse. This guy wins as a head coach. Can he step up? Can any of them? Only one way to find out.

Yep, gotta show support and at least give whoever a shot.

 

[Border Vol]

Baskets vols bout to lose too. This would be icing on that cake.

 

[vols 30]

Heupel would peak around 7-5 or 8-4 at UT, and our recruiting would fall into the low 30s or higher.

Sadly, that sounds pretty good

Orangeslice, I love you, but this ain’t it dog. He’s regressed every season that he’s been there.

There is no way he’s the hire

 

[YankeeVol]

There’s absolutely zero chance we brought DW here to bring us CJH.

I sure f'n hope so man

 

[RiverVol]

Ah, dry your eyes. Not every coach in America has emerged. Ron Zook, Lovie Smith, Derek Mason, Mike Price, Randy Shannon...

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

 

[Border Vol]

There is no way he’s the hire

I think it's very possible he could be the hire you can't say there's no way he'll be hired.

Heupel would peak around 7-5 or 8-4 at UT, and our recruiting would fall into the low 30s or higher.

Only because of NCAA recruiting penalties and bowl bans.

Oddly too, so is Scott Frost since leaving. Lightening in a bottle for a couple seasons at UCF? Weird

Ah, dry your eyes. Not every coach in America has emerged. Ron Zook, Lovie Smith, Derek Mason, Mike Price, Randy Shannon...

So yer sayin’ there’s a chance?

 

[ThreatLevelOrange]

We cannot hire Dykes or hand this over the Steele. Everything else can be debated. But 50 level 1 violations, a lousy roster and 3 top 10 teams on the schedule don’t seem to be worth the money to good coaches.

 

[bpalmer28]

Napier turned down Auburn, will get a big job, arrow pointing up. Born in TN, huge ties to recruiting in Ga, would do very well at TN.

I like Napier a lot, and Chadwell. Haven’t thought much about Heupel honestly because he’s not from TN but he seems like a guy who knows how to score points. Give him a good DC and he might just freaking kill it here.

There’s literally nothing to suggest that he’s a solid coach. UCF has regressed every year under his stewardship.

Did I literally not say offensively? They finished 8th in offense out of 127 teams (and played 10 games so not a small sample size). The defense finished 92nd. That's why I said we already have a defensive coordinator. He can develop QBs clearly. Dillon Gabriel has thrown for over 7000 yards with a 61/11 TD/INT in his first two years. JG could play for 10 years and not do that.

 

[Volnbeers]

It would be SO tennessee that Danny boy whites luck runs out just as he takes the UT job

 

[ATPVol]

This would be a very underwhelming hire...so it’s probably true.

 

[RockyTop140]

Why is everyone crying? First of all, we don’t even know if this is true. Second of all, it’s possible that no proven guy wants to come here. Out of the unproven guys, huepel seems like a decent hire.

[lukeneyland]

I’m not wild about this at all. I hope he proves me wrong

 

[rltw1974]

Heupel is the “Nickelback” of coaching hires!

Sounds familiar somehow... Regression... Where oh where did I last see this

 

[Border Vol]

Another Twitter moron

 

[RiseToTheTop]

the danny white warm welcoming immediately stops if he hires JH though i know that.

 

[BeardedVol]

Only because of NCAA recruiting penalties and bowl bans.

There's nothing about Heupel's tenure at UCF that says he can recruit and develop well enough to compete with Alabama/Georgia/Florida.
