DW was brought in to stabilize this mess we’re in and to make this university money. It’s all about money at the end of the day. If Huepel can excite this fan base with his offense then the fans will show up. I think Danny knows exactly what he’s doing as an AD. I’m not overly excited with this hire but I just don’t think nobody wants this job ATM. It’ll be exciting to see us score some points though

I've learned over the years to not trust any information from the AD. Remember when Bahama John seemingly was scouring the planet for coaches? Gonna bring us a big fish? It was Shiano from the minute they fired Dooley. It would not surprise me one bit if DW told them when he interviewed he could bring JH with him. Did they put feelers out for other coaches? Sure they did. Did they push beyond the initial no? I doubt it. What if Alabama had taken the initial no from Saban? Or the second No. Or the third no? I think this thing has been decided for some time. Its all grandstanding. Its all justification for "This was the best we could do. We have a toxic fan base. The NCAA cloud is hovering over us."

Bottom line?

@Atlanta VOL was wrong. @LA Vol was right. Plowman bit off way more than she could chew and she choked. We were better off leaving Pruitt one more year then firing him. That way we didn't self report to the NCAA. Then we probably could have had Freeze, Campbell, Fickell, or Fleck because we wouldn't have these incoming crippling sanctions.

We will be back here in 4 years. Enjoy the shi*show.

This wouldn’t have mattered. We had teams that were telling on us to the NCAA. So if we didn’t self report we would have gotten an investigation anyways

Which QB do we predict will flourish/start? Which QB do we expect to leave (if any)?
Anyone willing to hazard any guesses on transfers who may give us a look with an offensive HC in place?

I don't hate the hire. I actually think we might have lucked into a star - it is contingent on staff and getting the right players.

But i don't think he is has to be a stud recruiter - head coaches don't do that much anyway in recruiting.

He does need a STUD DC and they need to be left alone to dominate.

The offense will score points and QB will be so much better. and you win with QB play. So let's go!!!

Time management, player development, and program structure/organization/direction. IMO, those are the biggest issues for the new coach. I truly think previous coaches have lacked the ability to put those things together and to see and manage the bigger picture.

Tennessee though, one of the easier schools to recruit to. Partly because our acceptance rate is 79% (UCF's is 44%). So we have an easier time getting struggling students in than most of the country. While also having some of the best facilities and being in the SEC. I think we'll recruit just fine. I also think once we start racking up 30+ ppg we'll be even more attractive to attend.

UF's averaged 30+ ppg every year Mullen's been there and they're still not recruiting at the level UF should be.

Name/ points aren't enough.

Hopefully after 3 football seasons, not 4. But I 100% agree with your post. Can we start the countdown to December 2023?
