Michigan job?

[RDU VOL#14]

Mike Farrell opened this can of worms this week when talking about potential replacements. He listed Heupel as one of 10 replacements, and in his little paragraph explanation, said that Michigan is a better job, and that anyone without orange colored glasses knows it is. Mike Farrell is clearly not that bright.

Should we worry about Michigan if Harbaugh leaves?

Good lord!

 

[fossilfiction]

That would be an absolutely terrible hire for them. They would likely want someone who would not want to rebuild the team or sacrifice defense for points.

 

[madbamahater]

Would Michigan go after Urban Meyer?

 

[NighthawkVol]

NO!
Have you ever been to Ann Arbor Michigan?

Yes. It's beautiful. I'm not sure what you're getting at. But no, Heupel isn't leaving Tennessee for Michigan.

 

[Milehigh_Vol]

This was a topic of conversation back when Butch was here, before Harbaugh took the job.

Rookies.. I remember this stupidity.

We really are dumb sometimes.

 

[Boone&Crockett]

I HOPE there is truth to the narrative I have seen that Coach will not consider OU as long as Stoops senior has a prominent role there, and as of now he seems entrenched. Anybody have any real meat or the lack of for this situation? Would love to be able to shelf this fear for cause.

I think it's all knee jerk response to having a good season and the Kiffin effect.

of course

Only real thing would be us paying Heupel bigger even earlier.

Worriers gonna worry, cause basically, that's what they like to do.

I’m not worried, White brought in Heupel and I trust him to keep him here too.

Well in a replenishment of Jimmy's and Joe's based world, MICH is the second best job in the Big 10, where UT at a minimum follows Bama, GA, FL, LSU, TAM and soon TX. Not sure how many BIG 10 schools other than PSU even rate with UT, AU and OK for a combination of national/regional/local recruiting advantages. Not sure what the dynamics of USC and UCLA do to the overall strength of conference discussion going forward.

All relative I guess.

The hand wringers seem to overlook the relationship these two have. Probably the best in college sports.

I think White will take care of Heup.

Rumor is Kiffin.

Is Lane Kiffin on the list? I hear from some Vol fans that he is the greatest offensive mind in a generation, but from other Vol fans that he deeply loves his family and will never leave Oxford.

 

[VOLnMiami]

According to non VOL fans CJH is leaving for the first opening at whatever school offers him.....He's not going to Michigan, Or Oklahoma or anywhere else...This is his program and he built it and is still building it...He's going to be here for a very long time.

 

[Mustng959]

Let’s see….SEC vs B1G, longer summers in the south, beautiful, warm/mild autumn….and a big fat raise!!! Not worried about UM one bit.

Oh Lordy…no doubt about it. It’ll make your eyes water!

Heup is currently the King of Tennessee. His wife is the Queen. His son and daughter are the prince and princess. No clue why anyone would want to leave that.

I wouldn't doubt him getting another bump in pay soon too.

It's certainly a job that has a much easier path to the playoffs. You only have to beat one good team every year.

It probably is in the Big 10, Maybe not now that USC will join. If you’re looking at ease of getting to the CFP, Michigan certainly has the easier path, I just meant in terms of facilities, recruiting base, conference prestige, fan support we are not below Michigan .

 

[VolFreakJosh]

The only appeal Michigan has is an easier road to the playoffs considering you only have to beat a couple of good teams every year.

Even that, Tennessee is a National brand with great resources, the best fanbase in the country.

Danny White is taking care of Heupel no doubt.

I like Coach Heupel but he honestly doesn't have the resumé to qualify for Michigan.

Would we worry if Alabama suddenly came open? No. Heupel's resumé isn't there yet either.

Heupel wasn't even on anyone's radar (except White) for the Tennessee job two years ago. He's had great success but he's not suddenly going to be on the radar for the tip top elite jobs after a two year run.
