His college HC record is 84-45. Now makes 9 million.

Heupel's record is 44-16 and makes 5 million.

Pay the man or watch him walk....and I wouldn't blame him.

Lebby is already recruiting the players that Josh will need to run that offense. Plug and play at the HC position? 🤔
I'm pretty certain Danny White has a great relationship with Josh Heupel and that should help us. I'm a realist and I wouldn't begrudge Heupel if he made a move that's good for his career and family.

I just want TN to make what's good for his career and family happen in Knoxville, not Norman.

I’m not opposed to paying Heupel but the reason Kiffin is getting paid so much is due to Mississippi state law. Ole Miss can only sign him to a 4 year contact. Thus they have to pay more to keep a decent coach. Eight year contract for $7 mil is worth more than $9 for four years. Especially when it is guaranteed money.

He only signed an extention because he lost the egg bowl lol. His agent took lemons and made lemonade. Dude was 💯 headed to the barn if he handled that game. No way barn faithful wanted him after that collapse.

Kiffin is signing a 7-8 year extension. They circumvented the state law

He has a ceiling though. He’s not getting $2 million raises every year to never win anything.

Heupel will get a raise to around 9-9.5 million this year to keep up with the Jones'. His buyout may not change much though.
