This side story completely slipped my mind. Hopefully Josh really pours it on this weekend.

 

[CR-vol]

Probably should have put "Bob Stoops" instead of "Stoops Family". Bob's family didn't fire Heupel and Heup doesn't seem the type of guy to hold that against Mike and Mark. What Kentucky head coach Mark Stoops said about working with Josh Heupel

I wonder how Coach Heupel thinks of Mark Stoops?

Mike is the one who Bob was protecting. His OU defense sucked. Heupel was the sacrificial lamb.

I didn't know that.

Mike Stoops was a horrible head coach he turned the Arizona football program to total crap

 

[hbvol1982]

“You have to give him credit for how fast he turned it,” said Stoops. “It’s (Tennessee) always been a quality program with great players. But Josh has done a remarkable job. And you have to give him credit for what he’s done and the success he’s had both at UCF and Tennessee. And to some extent, no it doesn’t surprise you. Josh has always been a winner.”

Mark Stoops rather gracious in describing both UT and Heupel.

Which is why "Hypel" will have this team ready to go Saturday night. He'll hang 63 on Bob's brother if he can and Bob will just have to like it.
It's also why I'm not worried about Hype going to OU. As long as Bob is involved in OU football in any way, Hype won't give them the time of day.

I haven't heard this from Heupel himself, but I bet he's got chips on his shoulder from before the OU firing as well. Peruse a quick bio on him or his Wikipedia page. He's been something of an underdog his whole life.

He was born and raised in Aberdeen, SD, which makes small East Tennessee towns look like they are located close to the big city. Good HS player, but it's South Dakota and he wasn't highly recruited. Wasn't offered by any FBS programs and goes to FCS Weber St in Utah. Blows his knee out, gets lost in the shuffle there. Then goes JUCO route, has to battle for (and wins) playing time, plays well, which gets him an offer from Oklahoma. Has a great career there, but isn't seen as an NFL prospect, ends up being a late round draft pick, and ultimately doesn't even make an NFL roster. Begins a college coaching career, starting at the lowest rung on the ladder (GA) and working up to be OC at his alma mater, but tenure there ends badly and he has to restart at another small school (Utah St).

To be fair, Arizona has always been kind of meh at football. There have been a few successful seasons over the years.

And he’s coaching at UK now, so I’d say Heupel hasn’t missed that nugget. Lighting up Mike Stoops’ boys should be fun for him.

Interestingly enough, being from a small place tends to give people confidence and optimism.

Heup doesn't seem the type of guy to hold that against Mike and Mark.

Did you happen to see the FB pass on Saturday?

Did you happen to see the FB pass on Saturday?

Exactly. The way he played Simpson over something presumably much smaller is what made me think of this.

 

[Elhanan]

I don’t think he cares either way.

Nothing personal to whoever this team plays, he’s going to try to mud hole stomp them.

 

[The Original Fade]

Mark Stoops is a dang good football coach. Kentucky was a football laughing stock before he got there.

Heupel keeps receipts.

You don't think Mark has talked to Bob the last two weeks on how to stop Heupels offense??

Puhhhleaseee.

 

[CR-vol]

I didn't say that.

 

[TennesseeTarheel]

I'm glad he fired him. Sent him on his journey to his dream job in Knoxville.

 

[17Vols]

this thread=click bait, and I fell for it

 

[HuntlandVolinColo]

Oklahoma had like it's worst defense in forever so they fired the Offensive Coordinator (CJH) lol

He was made the fall guy which is why he recommended Venables for the job.

Mark Stoops is a very good coach. I hate to admit it but he’s done a nice job.
