Agree completely, and I have a positive vibe from him because he seems to be a self assured type of guy (exact opposite of the last 3 especially Butch). I get the last dozen years or so have been massively disappointing, I’ve been there with you, but we can help this team in the biggest way when Bowling Green comes to town by showing up and getting loud and do it every game. We are a strong enough base to bring an additional win with the will and the energy we bring to Neyland. I’m excited.That's where Heupel has to trust himself to be able to get through and mold those guys
We'll see. I still think he is in over his head a bit its a big jump from UCF to Knoxville. 0 shot I attejd the Bowling Green game on debating on Ole Miss tickets but we'll see. I just wish we would be good. For the first time in my life I'm actually going to have weekends off during football season.Agree completely, and I have a positive vibe from him because he seems to be a self assured type of guy (exact opposite of the last 3 especially Butch).

I’m planning on the Pitt game. I think that’s going to be a massive game for this years success. We also need at least one win between Mizzou, Kentucky, and Ole Miss.We'll see.

Unfortunately I may not have the option of Vanderbilt, I still don’t know. My crap was somehow lost from here to there a couple of months ago. Didn’t know until yesterday and they want me to go get my MRI disc (again) and mail it to them when I find time. The frigging VA. I’m fighting mad and defeated all at the same time, if that makes sense. Did I mention fighting mad?I get tired of the back and forth, but Vanderbilt has an excellent level of care.
Are places pretty much opened back up now?
We have to learn to win, that will be the early challenge for this team (similarly to Pittman at Arkansas last year). Pitt is a good defensive team that lost a lot of defensive talent this year. CJH has coached against them twice so he will have a leg up there. Past there, it’s a mystery. Hope these young men are ready to eat.Idk what to think about Pitt. In my head we should blow them out, but we've been so bad I can see then beating us
It's not even that just pure roster numbers and depth. I can easily see this season being a 3-9 year.We have to learn to win, that will be the early challenge for this team (similarly to Pittman at Arkansas last year).

Sorry that they're putting you through that.Unfortunately I may not have the option of Vanderbilt, I still don’t know. My crap was somehow lost from here to there a couple of months ago.

Stranger things have happened. Fact is we still have some taleneted kids who have been woefully undercoached and misused. If these players get a fire under them they could surprise some folks. I feel 6-7 wins is very doable.It's not even that just pure roster numbers and depth. I can easily see this season being a 3-9 year.
The most realistic path to a bowl game imo is 4 OOC USC and Vandy, everyone else has a huge advantage in they full rosters and a returning coach.
