Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[Jackcrevol]

I’ve been living and breathing this program for 25+ years. It’s going to be tough, but I need to find a way to take a hiatus from following this so closely (UT football in general, not just the coaching search).

It’s going to be so much better for my mental health, and family as well.

agreed

No disrespect but this isn’t a smokescreen.

I’m not saying it is. Don’t freak out over something that hasn’t happened yet.

Ar

He’s probably done more damage to this football program than anyone not named Lane Kiffin

Arguably, I’d say we did it to ourselves by hiring who we’ve hired. He got his clients great deals and buyouts, we agreed

Unless there’s something Im missing, then I apologize

 

[engineerVOL]

Good grief, Danny you didn’t fool anyone.. tell Low to sound the horn and tweet something so we can all go to bed.

 

[Headvol]

False. He would come tma.

TMA ?

 

[VFL28]

Alright I’m not buying it. If it were Heupel someone in the big media would have reported it as well. So far nothing. It’s been over 2 hours since AP spewed his garbage. DW by all accounts is a master at this stuff. @Atlanta VOL even said he’s legit.

I want to believe that but ATL vol is no where to be found. Which makes me think this Heupel stuff is legit.

I agree with you on this, Basilio said its not signed sealed and delivered yet, but its on the doorstep.

 

[Big Orange#1]

Mehupel

 

[volinexile17]

Heupel > Sarkisian. So there’s that at least.

 

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

I don't believe that a bit. He likes to flirt

Believe what you want. But he would be here if we wanted him. 100.

 

[Unconditional Surrender]

I am infinitely more excited that @Neyland Rising has graced us with his presence than I am about this hire.

I’m telling you his post was a cry for help after reading the name of the coach. Imagine reading all of War and Peace only to find out that a toddler scribbled all over the last chapter.

He is a crook and we are a sucker. Match made in heaven.

 

[volfan1631]

Or ya know SMU the program and set us back 20 more years at least.

Maybe they will have pity on us and give us time served.

Josh Pate giving me hope on twitter

He fooled me. I was sure the worst he would do was Leipold.

Fair enough

 

[Shannon1982]

Our program is so horrible that a coach doesn't want to come here so how did we go out and snatch up a top AD it just doesn't make sense

Mehupel

196:1 like to post ratio.

Bravo.

 

[KPT_VFL]

I understand. I felt that way too. However he was nowhere to be found through any of this until yesterday either. He will tell us when it’s time good or bad.

 

[engineerVOL]

So Heupel is just casually walking around campus and no one cares enough or recognizes him to report it.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Ha Basilio just said if Heupel comes here don't be surprised if they hire Tony Elliott from Clemson. That would be so Tennessee.

I’d rather have Heupel

He’s not on campus. Kingston and Hank started that.

 

[SoilVol]

Somebody who likes Heupel rationalize to me why his team has gotten worse and sucked out loud this year.

10 opt-outs, Covid year, no offseason, etc. You can't really assess his abilities as a head coach with such a small dataset. He's only been there 3 years, and 1 year was obviously Covid. First year was undefeated, and the second year (IIRC) he lost his star QB and still had a very impressive season. Personally, I'd like to see what he'd have done with 5 or 6 seasons at that level.

But he's still consistently produced on the offensive side of the ball everywhere he's been. There's enough data to show that, at multiple levels. There's possibility if you pair him with a strong DC that we could field some good teams. But as we've discussed ad nauseam, hiring a head coach is a crap shoot.

Why would TE come for the same position? TB confused.
