Tennessee head coach Josh Heupel talks after loss to Florida at the Swamp

[turbovol]

Heupel seemed rather strung out in his postgame presser--unshaven and working that wad of gum, big time. Rough and ready.

I don’t like him as a person, but he is a rare talent, and if he stays healthy and out of trouble he will make a great NFL QB.

I believe a majority of UT fans were waving him off as a third-rate talent last year, just before he laid about 50 on us and ruined our shot
at the playoff.

Starting to think Golesh and Hooker was the main reason for his success last season.

You mean a QB who, if he didn't blow his knee out in the second to last game of the season, would have been invited to NYC for the Heisman ceremony was a big part of an offense's success? No way.

I know you did not just say Kiffin and Kelly, Lmao.

I did. 0-1 vs Lane and it would be 0-2 if we played this year 1-3 if we played all 3 years.

He demolished Kelly and that’s where you’re going but Kelly won the west in year one and is looking like top dog out there again. Our guy has one good season to his name and two decent seasons where he used Scott Frost’s recruits to be dominant in a group of 5 conference. His third and final year, 6-4. Hoping he doesn’t have a year 3 problem.

If you’re using Scott Frost as an example, then it’s irrelevant considering he’s done nothing as a HC since he left UCF.

I still think Heupel is a good coach. Clearly he knows what he has lined up for the future with Nico and doesn’t want to jeopardize that by playing him before he’s ready or the team is ready. What he’s done here after Pruitt’s mess is nothing short of miraculous.

So you’re conceding the other points? Can’t really refute those. Did Scott Frost coach that third year?

 

[Jdw2920]

Its a 9-3 to 10-2 type team. I'll take it in year 3.

I hope it is but not sure based on what’s been shown. Hopefully we don’t start losing 24 pieces. I know Boo was going to watch Colorado play the buffs are getting a lot of hype

He looked pissed.
I mean ready to punch a reporter who asked the wrong question pissed.

Lololol

I think so too. We have just absolutely got to get pressure on him.

 

[Russdaddy2027]

Nico is not ready for a live SEC game. He needs to play next week and see how he does

May be true however Milton is not ready either

I wanna see Joe succeed but something in his comments and demeanor did not give me a reason to think there is much hope at all there after the game.

 

[BigALWiLson]

I hope I am completely wrong but I just have a feeling this may get worse

 

[tennesseeduke]

Is this a serious post? If you think Milton is in the same universe as any of those others, you really have zero knowledge of football. Those other guys could read defenses, work through progressions, use the pocket, throw accurately and with touch…and watch the damn play clock. They could run an offense. Milton can’t do any of those things.

Nobody said that. It was a Response to Milton throwing 4 straight incompletions
