For what its worth, he works really well with Danny White, I think thats a plus for him staying, he is gonna get paid, he seems to love it here, the only thing that no one knows is if he has ever truly wanted to coach in the NFL and if he wants to do that, no amount of money is gonna stop him, he's rich already and gonna get richer no matter what he does.

Pete Carroll was an NFL coach who came to college then went back. There's not been a truly successful long term only college to NFL transition in more than 25 years. Jimmy Johnson and Tom Coughlin were the last two really that I can think of. Jim Harbaugh is borderline, but he played in the NFL for 14 years and his San Francisco tenure was brief before it flamed out but he made a Super Bowl. The failure ratio is very high. The NFL has tried defensive wizards, offensive gurus, and they generally fall flat. There's a good 15-20 national championships among spectacularly failed NFL coaches. Spurrier, Saban, Holtz, Erickson, McKay etc. McKay won 4 national titles at USC and then went 44-88-1 in the NFL.

Can anyone even name a successful coach that has jumped to the NFL from college in recent memory? I can think of Spurrier, Saban, Matt Rhule, Kliff Kingsbury, Bobby Petrino, Pete Carroll, Chip Kelly, Doug Marrone, Urban Meyer, and Bill O'Brien. Only Pete Carroll has had true success, O'Brien had a solid run overall, jury's still out on Kingsbury. Harbaugh also was good.

Bill O’Brien, Pete Carroll, Doug Marrone, Harbaugh all had previous NFL experience which is why they were more successful. Steve Spurrier, Chip Kelly, Urban all had zero NFL experience which is most likely why they all failed. I am not sure how much Saban and Petrino’s personality meshed with NFL players. Heupel has zero NFL experience or ties to the NFL

"NFL teams are interested, not saying he'll go", but said "just telling you, he's on the radar of every NFL team".. Jim Nantz followed "I know you and I know you know something" Romo followed up saying "he's wanted in the NFL"

Wow... Pay him, now. Alot.

I mentioned this morning my dire prediction. I'm sure his agent is already talking to some agents. I sure hope he truly loves Tennessee.

Personally much more worried about Golesh leaving to be a HC in the short term than Heupel jumping to the NFL.

He has paid his dues in the college game and programs are going to be lining up to copy this offense in the off season.

Thanks to Romo for giving the Vols some free press however.

Your last sentence is why I'm not concerned at all.

CJH is a competitor. He was as a player, he is as a coach. If his goal is to win at the highest level - maybe win a SB - then all the “his system won’t work”.. “he’s a VFL now”.. “all these other coaches failed”.. money, etc, ain’t gonna stop him, and shouldn’t. He’s got to at least try.
It would suck, and it would be our luck, but I’d root for him.

The only thing I’ll say is our fan base is amazingly terrible. We love Heupel, but if we start losing, our fan base is brutal, and he will be bashed.

I mean half of our fan base absolutely hates Phil, and he did some amazing things for our school and did nothing but love UT.
