Sure seems like he's gone based on what everyone is saying.

That said, I'd recommend everyone take a breath and let the next two weeks play out. There are a number of guys we're working behind the scenes.

You’re either with us or against us at this point with him. I know what I’m going with.

 

[T2P_Priceless]

The backside recirver not having routes on a ton of plays has to stop. Gotta threaten the defense on all quadrants.

With the defense we have now we don’t need the unconventional offense

 

[MrVolton]

Rodney garner is the only proven assistant coach heupel has ever hired. Maybeeee you could make a case for Martinez and ekeler. We need more garners and more harbins. And more money, apparently.

We have no one like that on the offensive side except Huepel himself when it comes to QB. No wonder we’ve landed 3 top 100 caliber QB’s in a row.

We need to become known for developing guys and putting them in the league in order to compete at the highest level. We’re gonna need better assistant coaches in order to do that.

 

[volKano]

I think when it’s all said and done we will be pleased with what we get. CJH cant hold a press conference and tell us his plans but this is his life and he isn’t going into next season empty handed.

 

[Deebowbear]

Would love to know what has really caused him to decide to go into the portal. Pretty much had a guaranteed WR1 spot with Nico still at QB and more NIL. It really just sounds like he doesn’t wanna be here

Maybe who his coach is Pope

 

[Orangeredblooded]

One is not like the other two.

 

[Volsdeep4]

I honestly think we beat GA in that game if it was at home. Home field advantage was so huge for everyone this year

Yeah me too. It’s was hoping to get GA in neutral field in playoffs.

 

[Carp]

As I stated. Mod was going to be an AA anywhere he went. Watch his true freshman tape at Oregon state. WR turned CB first year. Really good.

We need someone who can recruit better and develop better. CWM is a good coach. But we can do better. Why can’t both be true?

So obvious that he was gonna be an AA that he was like the 14th rated CB in the portal....

 

[DaddyChad]

I know one thing for certain, we don't need any malcontented WRs from the portal.
We need real dudes like JaVonta Payton and Velus Jones.
I can't trust a player's attitude with more than one transfer. But that's just me.
EDIT: Bru McCoy is an exception.

I think Bru kind of held that room together as well.

 

[MarcoVol]

Yeah at least those two. We were able to see teams that consistently recruit at the top in all positions. Plus you add in very good assistants. We saw what we need to be a big dawg

So like I said TX and Oregon also can’t play with the big dogs either apparently

I read my own posts and I’m like it’s the coaches. No it’s the players. No it’s the coaches. No it’s the collective. No it’s the..

We just need more better everything to take the next big step. And no reason why it can’t be us. The thirst for domination is strong. Cmon DW and JH. Make it happen.

Inge is proven too. Every coach on D has a more proven track record than every coach on O outside of Huepel himself.

 

[Vols2DaWall]

No way to sugar coat but an abject failure from coaches if MM leaves.

You can’t lose 5 WRs with awful production and not see the Pope is trash as a coach.

 

[Deebowbear]

That has to be an excuse. He could easily pick up the phone and call or text Nico

I think the coaches knew he was leaving last week. They just trying to cover it up because it’s looking so bad with all WRs leaving. Now it’s the first of year and only four teams left that we probably not getting anybody from. Idk

 

[De La Cloobs]

So, what WR are we going for now? And who might we land?

MM is dumb for transferring

 

[NoogaVol96]

At this point we need to be sending blank checks to every WR worth a damn.

 

[VolsCigarMan]

I have a question? I thought the SEC commissioner made a rule that transfers can't transfer inside the same conference SEC schools? Is that not correct or was overturned? Do they have to sit 1 year?

We have had some of our portal transfers committing to SEC schools reason I was asking this question.

 

[StuckInBamaVol]

Surely they have a plan or Nico would have bolted.

 

[WesTnVol]

Some on here will remember Cobb/Webb probably the best running back duo we ever had.
Coach Majors kicked Cobb off the team. We kept winning. MM if he’s gone, will be replaced and we will keep winning.

 

[Deebowbear]

Haha how did that work out?

He needs to be at some schools like UCF or SEC is to big for him

 

[RikidyBones]

Have you heard the names and if so, do those names improve the room decently?

 

[GVol1966]

I’m beginning to buy in to the idea that Heupel is going to need to adapt to a more NFL style offense

He needs to go to the nfl and hire an OC and Wr coach.

They can go wherever, don’t have to sit.

 

[LoudOrange]

And this is why King said to give it a couple of weeks.

 

[Orange_Crush]

So who is getting my money if we keep losing players? I give $500 a month and what is exactly am I getting in return? Is something going on with our NIL fund that we don’t know about?

So, you think we'll have fewer players on the roster next year because a few of the current roster left?
