Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

Heupel > Kiffin

I said it.

Scoreboard says: correct

 

[jakez4ut]

How many screen names you got?

At least one more...?

 

[99Vol]

We really hired a search firm for Josh ******* Heupel.

Not to late to change your name. Almost the same joshfnheupal...

 

[VFL28]

Alright, enough fun and games. It’s time to trout out Gruden.

 

[KPT_VFL]

I think AP is just trolling. He has never provided a concrete statement saying it’s Heupel. He’s just driving up clicks in one of the more boring coaching searches we’ve experienced.

 

[Nashvegas31]

My personal opinion JH was a fallback option. We didn't get interest from a few big time hires. Went to second layer with Franklin showing some interest, Elliot went through the motions but I don't think he was really interested. That second tier ultimately didn't pan out, so he immediately went to his fallback before the search became publicly embarrassing. And here we are.

Those wanting to torpedo this hire should entertain the idea that the list doesn't get any better from here out, in fact it gets progressively worse.

Nobody should do torpedo this hire bc don’t like it. He isn’t a POS. We would def look like azzholes

 

[Bonhomme]

VFL, but new here...Gotta know the Neyland Rising story?!?

 

[Dudleys87]

Chadwell let it be known he wanted the FL job If it came open and Tennessee doesent hire him.

 

[drylo]

People need to chill. We could do a whole lot worse than Heupel. Dude can straight light up the scoreboard.

 

[give_him 6]

If Danny White introduces him at the presser by saying this was the guy I wanted from the start, I am going to vomit.

There are probably a half dozen guys that look just like this walking around on UT's campus at any time.

The most distinct thing about him is the lack of distinct features.

He looks like Jeremy Pruitt with hair.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

He checks every box they said they were looking for. Defense is certainly a concern but we weren't great on Defense with a defensive specialist so may as well try to score. With our talent at qb and wr it should be really fun to watch at the very least.

Just 6 wins for a few years please.

 

[IhateGA]

If he gets cold feet over tweets then next up IMO

Well, who is next up though? If we hav already gotten to Heupel, then what's left? Steele would be destroy any shot of a solid recruiting class, but that's probably who is left.

 

[HankHill]

Lol. We'll be wishing for JH by morning...

That’s what I’m saying.... lord help us if he turns us down.

 

[thistime]

Let's think ahead for a minute. DW has a great relationship with Elliott. Let's say we do take Heupel and Elliott goes to UCF.
If Heupel flames out after a few years, but Elliott does well down there this could set up a mini pipeline for Elliott to get the job in Knoxville in a few years.

That is just what we need a pipeline for young coaches to come here and get totally disheartened. But hey they will get rich.

[seaofORANGE22]

He checks every box except the one where everybody falls asleep when he starts talking

 

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

Trust me I would love either one of them, but I don't think they're realistic and I just get annoyed seeing their names posted constantly.

I hear ya. And don’t take my short comments offensively. A lot of times I am posting real fast and then running to play with a baby or three year old. Probably why half of my comments are hard to read from all of the misspelled words. I just want to win again. So if JH is the hire, my gosh let’s pray he wins.

 

[VolsAgainstTheWorld15]

Watch Heupel get cold feet now that there has been so much backlash. Next up on the list is probably Steele. Full disclosure: I do not like the hire. Just worried that he is literally last on our list next to Steele.

 

[Dudleys87]

I think AP is just trolling. He has never provided a concrete statement saying it’s Heupel. He’s just driving up clicks in one of the more boring coaching searches we’ve experienced.

I hope

 

[HankHill]

I honestly love the way our offense translates to his scheme. I think we will see a big leap in OL play. Really hope we switch to a 4 man front.

 

[Lane Train 4]

Josh Heupel's UCF team whipped Lane Kiffin's team's ass 48-14 when the two teams met in 2019 and kicked Kiffin's ass 56-36 in 2018.

 

[SergeantVol]

No way it's Heupel. We didn't need an AD to get him, the janitor could have called to offer him the job and he'd have taken it.

Makes you wonder why we overpaid an AD for a mediocre hire. Of course, this is all pending on if this is true.

 

[jakez4ut]

Looks legit

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I was very against giving Steele an entire year as interim, but considering the alternative now is panic hiring Heupel it doesn't seem so bad.
