Definitely a veteran. Sharp salute and stood at attention the whole time.

Loved AT, wish he was part of this team too.

He is..he helped lay the foundation of this resurgence with the buy-in and leadership he showed last year.

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

Agree with all of that. But there was absolutely no reason to be that juvenile to a dad that was obviously sensitive about it because of his son. I absolutely hate when people try to bring others down to make themselves look like the smart, wise, superior person.

I have three children who are technically juveniles and it offends me that you would use that word in a derogatory manner. Please think before you post.

All new WR's recruits needs to sit down with Hyatt and just ask, what does it take to become an elite WR in the SEC.

He keeps giving Pope a lot of credit.

 

[SweetasSoda]

Sweet Ass gonna hit you with a “bless your heart”

Bless your heart.

He won't leave for a coordinator role I don't think, but we're kidding ourselves if we think hell turn down a bunch of NFL head coach offers. I think NFL teams will want to see a couple more years of sustained success before they offer him a HC job though.

Don't underestimate his relationship with Danny White and how much he might come to love it here. Not saying he won't leave but it's not a slam dunk he will, IMO.

He keeps giving Pope a lot of credit.

As he should. Best new hire who was already on staff. It’s been obvious with every receiver. Who still wants Coach YAC back?

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I doubt any college coach would turn down a decent NFL HC job. It's so so so much less work, recruiting is an entirely separate full time job in addition to coaching the team.

And you are just another dude that will be forgotten.

 

[UTMVol76]

Hahaha, I literally just was.

I honestly haven’t stopped

Is window licker ok to use? I use that term quite a bit describing people, but do not want to be non pc.

 

[TheMagnificantOne]

Does he normally do this or the fear is real

 

[Batman1948]

Unbelievable......no I take that back....par for the course. We have a team and coach that are having a GREAT season ,playing for the #1 ranking in college football and now we may be losing our coach to the NFL. You have got to be kidding. Can we as a fan base just enjoy what we have for a change ?

Not every coach wants to go to the pros and the ones that have usually flop or just can't handle the pressure. CJH is a great offensive mind but the match ups we have in college are MUCH different than the NFL. There are grown men making millions in the NFL for a reason...they are ALL good and if they make a mistake the NFL stands for NOT FOR LONG because they will find someone that can make the plays the next week, plus the TV timeouts and substitute rules make the hurry up we play much less effective. If it would work in the NFL they would ALL be doing it, think about that, they are playing for MONEY not trophies.

This 1000000000000%----------We have a large portion of our fans who seem to live miserable lives and want to bring everyone around them down to their misery. They just can't seem to be happy for our success------doom and gloom is around the corner ^%#*&^)(#$^%**(

 

[drvenner]

Every one I've heard who got offered accepted, soooo.... Yes. 100% acceptance based on available data.

Because all offers are public knowledge.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Some very successful college coaches. Don’t think the NFL has made a run at Ryan Day? Matt Campbell? Wouldn’t be surprised if they had talked to Dabo at some point. David Shaw was a hot NFL name and he kept choosing Stanford. Harbaugh has been talked about in NFL front offices but has chosen to stay in college (a little different since he’s already been there).

Matt Rhule clearly wanted the NFL but not all college coaches do.

And Matt Rhule is now just another ridiculed and fired throwaway.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Spurrier rejected several overtures before he finally ended up taking the Washington job.

And got embarrassed, humiliated and fired.

 

[SweetasSoda]

Heupel is such a gentleman. He lets opposing coaches choose their manner of death. Such a big heart.

This is true!

 

[peaygolf]

That's your opinion. Show me the evidence. I'm not trying to win an argument, I genuinely want to see evidence (not just speculation) that college coaches regularly turn down NFL HC offers. I can only base my opinion on my (admittedly limited) personal knowledge of situations. If you have hard facts to the contrary, I'd love to see them.

Turning down Offers are one thing. Turning down inquiries is different. In order to turn one down, you have to at least be interviewed and offered. MANY have “turned down” opportunities to interview.

 

[Odiodin]

Love everything about this. Makes me happy knowing Pyro Jesus has been keeping watch on the roof all season.

 

[VolGee4]

LOL someone asks you to provide evidence to help them better their opinion and your response it to tell them their opinion is meaningless. You're a swell human.

Rumor: Matt Campbell Turned Down Massive Contract Offer from Detroit Lions | Sports Illustrated Detroit Lions News, Analysis and More

There is another article citing sources that he was never formally offered. But this is all semantics if coaches don’t want the job. Campbell has been pursued by multiple organizations, both pro and college

 

[Devo182]

UT has only punted 18 times this year. That’s tied for 5th best in CFB. One team they are tied with is UGA who also has only punted 18 times this year.

The difference is we've had way more possessions this year. We'd have a lower punt rate

 

[peaygolf]

Neither team has a quarterback.

Don’t need one when you run for over 300 yards

 

[Chuckie]

I know some people feel like every time we clear a hurdle, there is somewhat of a discounting of it by looking towards a future opponent and their strengths. I haven’t been one of those people, but I think it is very legitimate to say that GA will be the most complete team we’ve faced. And I think most would agree that the gumps would be the second most complete.

So, how do AL and GA compare? The categories I think I can make an educated guess at are these:

QB - AL is better
RB - AL is better
WR/TE - GA is better
DB - GA is better

So what does everyone think about the other positions? Which one is better at OL, DL, LB?

I certainly don’t think their defense can shut us down, but maybe they can hold us to less than AL. And how does our defense do against their offense?

I hope we’re hitting on all cylinders this week.

 

[bignewt]

Bonkers day in the NFL.

 

[SweetasSoda]

This is so cool!
