"Most will like the hire."

 

[Face]

This isn't a very inspiring quote from a UCF fan.

Ouch. That’s brutal.

 

[Deebowbear]

"Most will like the hire."

So you know who it is? Speak please

 

[engineerVOL]

Volzown, no clue what to make of this
"Everyone is freaking over something they don’t know to be true. Why? If it is true, why can’t he get the job done? He is very knowledgeable. He had a good offense and he know what it takes to win. I’d trust White on hiring, period"

Heupel has the unfortunate circumstance of being a guy that didn’t even warrant a chase.

 

[volfanhill]

Hey question-------------- if it's Heupel, then why did it take so long and why did we go through all this BS? Why didn't DW just make room on the jet and bring him up with him last week?

Because he had a long list of people saying no first.

love that guy

 

[RikidyBones]

I'm tired and going to bed early tonight. Yall get this **** right and back on track by the morning toward the white whale.

 

[VFL92]

Honest question....what’s the difference between Kiffin & Heupel? Both seem like glorified OC’s and everyone wants Kiffin

Kiffin is an elite recruiter. Heupel isn’t. Kiffin brings national credibility that Heupel doesn’t come close to.

Heupel's never had a losing record as a HC.

So yeah we’re hiring him

 

[T Dog]

 

[volinbama256]

No. Trying to keep people from losing their minds and Schianoing this and making it worse than it is. This is a meh hire. Not great, not bad. Could work, could fail.

already backtracking....

 

[turdherder11]

I don't believe anything AP says, dude lost all his tits . Hes butthurt. I'm still holding out hope, AV said believe nothing until Low breaks the story.

Swagger... Which we desperately need.

 

[chargervol]

Won't say much until a hire is confirmed but would we really pay an AD that much money just to hire a coach that anyone could've pulled here?
Seems like poor money management.
(Probably answered my own question)

In case it is JH, any special circumstances surrounding the consistently declining record? On the surface it looks like taking over a built program and the longer he influenced it, the less great it became?
More to it than that?

 

[SaguaroVols]

So now it’s Heupel?

I give up on this coaching carousel. Just make up your damn mind and make it happen.

I’mma gonna sit back and drink some Pappy’s and watch this unfold.

Whoever DW hires, we gotta back and let’s roll in 2021.

It coulda been worse. We could have been stuck w/ PF and Pruitt for another long ass season.

 

[KeyVol14]

Who’s reporting that he’s on campus no one has answered that yet

 

[yourstruly23]

They scored 32 on LSU..despite being comically out talented..

I watched that game.. LSU was playing two walk ons and a WR in the secondary because of injuries and NFL guys opting out..

 

[Power T-Rev]

I'm gonna have to see it to believe it. I'm not gonna blindly follow a coach just because he coaches my team. He's gonna have to give me a reason

 

["It's Time"]

The writing was on the wall when AV wrote that soliloquy about supporting the program and a blank check.

He spelled it out right there. They gave him a blank check, couldn’t get no one to sign it.

 

[DustyRockSolid]

The UGA psychopath?

yup. waiting to see what he says about it.

 

[volfan1631]

Honest question....what’s the difference between Kiffin & Heupel? Both seem like glorified OC’s and everyone wants Kiffin

Kiffin also has a glorified twitter game as well.

 

[Weezer]

Offenses have been better than Frosts

Like I said, I'm willing to see what he can do, but I don't see why we shouldn't be disappointed given we were told to expect better. And not just by insiders, but the university president and chancellor.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Yeah, that's... really getting.. behind him.

Win or lose I will support them, if it was Franklin I wasn't going to.

 

[Jack Burton]

Understandably, I should clarify somethings.

Scott Frost was at UCF for two seasons and his recruiting classes were not significantly better than Heupel's, Heupel's were better, in fact. The year before Frost the average was .8355. No, he's not setting the recruiting world on fire, but he's also in the same yard with Miami, Florida, Florida State, and FIU. Its a crowded yard. BUT, he does more with less...

As has been noted, his offenses have been top 6 nationally all three years since he became HC at UCF and 14th nationally while OC at Mizzou. He went 22-4 his first two years (with 4 classes of essentially the same caliber of players, Frost's classes weren't carrying those teams) and then 6-4 in a year where the state of florida was a covid hot spot. when they played tulane this year several of their starters were out.

If he's the guy, he's one very good DC hire away from being potentially very good in the SEC. His offenses will excel, and he has HC experience. He's the quintessential up-and-comer future star. I understand the frustration--i really do-- but 8-4 should be the floor the way the schedule is set up, especially if we're hanging up 450 yards a game.

i urge you to give him a chance if he's the guy. he's walking into a dumpster fire with sanctions looming and, like DW, is apparently willing to take it on. I think this could end up pretty good.

You mean eventually he can get us to 8-4 right? We’re not going 8-4 in 2021.
