My expectations of Heupel year by year

Everyone always says you'll know by year 4 if you have a coach or not. Well we just made the playoff with a team that didn't have a ton of talent and people still want him fired. Doesn't make sense.

People are acting like we have the talent of a sunbelt team. It’s all played out. It’s an easy excuse for the ass beating we just took. Is there a gap? Sure. Is it as monstrous as some want to pretend? Nope. Coaches have to find ways to win. That’s the million dollar gig. OSU doesn’t have 30 pts more worth of talent than us a game.

The sky’s not falling now but when we absolutely get railroaded next year, this place is gonna start being a toxic waste.

My point is that we had a shot for this year to be special. But Heupel has some form of CTE where he makes dumb decisions sometimes. And that decision was riding Milton for the duration of 2023 when it was obvious he wasn’t a championship caliber QB. Nico should have been prepped for this run. And we lost to Arkansas because he wasn’t prepped.

And future NFL QB Milroe led Bama to two bad losses - one @ Vandy and one at Oklahoma. It happens. Nico would’ve been broken in half last yr. His family wanted him to sit the first yr, too.

It appears to me that they do, when motivated. We have plenty of talent, but we are in the big middle of SEC from a talent perspective, and just so happened to have a D that held things together. Am hoping this lopsided loss causes the same type of inward-looking evaluation in the off season, like what OSU went thru on a quicker time scale, after losing to Michigan. If OSU is a learning moment, the loss may help propel JH to make decisions quicker than he maybe would have otherwise done, than if we played another flawed team in playoffs like IU and we win...thinking we're closer than we actually are to being elite...we'll see.

Motivated being the key. We were not.

You found a guy. Weak that you took time on Christmas Eve to find one example to prove me wrong. Congrats.

And Merry Christmas

What a douche canoe

Just in case some don't know. This is a secondary level of douche that cannot be contained by a bag. Therefore is must be contained in a canoe and henceforth spend the rest of eternity floating down the river of douchery.

We have a coach, what is concerning is if he has hit his ceiling in year 4, given the difficulty experienced in the SEC play teo years running with an inconsistent offense and the playoff collapse.

10-2 with three (3) wins purchased for $3.6 million and a 7-2 record, in light of this year's blow out in the first round of the playoff, might be harder to convince the committee Tennessee needs to be there next year if there are other SEC teams with identical records and no head to head competition. In college football, you are no better today than your last game.

Anyone that wants CJH fired is just... stupid. Also any one thinking this season was a failure is stupid.

I do want CJH to get a handle on what I see is a significant discipline issue. If not dealt with quickly they tend to metastasize like cancer, then he will be looking for a job and it will be his fault.

lol. Go look at the blue chip ratio between both us and OSU. Then you will see how dumb your statement is.

Last year would have been a disaster with Nico, he was not anywhere ready. Could have ruined him with the expectations after 2022.

Why do you think we get railroaded next year?

If we learned anything this year it was Milton was the only sensible option in 2023. Nothing against the season Nico had this year but they don’t come close to win 9 games in ‘23 with him.
