What can we do to ensure Heupel doesn’t leave for Oklahoma?

[Dudleys87]

Is it possible to make a 21+ board??

Assuming everyone over 21 isn’t missing a few screws?

Heupel isn’t going to Oklahoma. Heupel 100% loves Tennessee. Hes building something special here and Oklahoma is in rebuild mode. I don’t see him leaving Tennessee to do another rebuild. Lane got us good in 09 and we still feel the sting, but you have to consider that USC was riding high post Carroll and had a roster full of chippies.

Keep Bob Stoops involved in Oklahoma football - Heupel will never go to Oklahoma as long as Stoops has a big voice in calling the shots. So pay him well, support him and he’ll feel so at home in Knoxville that when Stoops is no longer a power broker at Oklahoma Josh will have no desire to leave.

" TN has a much bigger checkbook"

There's a lot of oil money in OK. If the money is needed for a coach, they can get it.

 

[BelievetheHeup2022]

I don't know about UT having a bigger checkbook. There's been a whole lot of oil produced in OK over the years.

Cool. But your sketchy take on Oklahoma oil money doesn’t really mean anything considering the actual tallies show Tennessee bringing in and spending more money in NIL.

Keep AD White

Oklahoma just got absolutely smashed by South Carolina in Norman.

What can we do to ensure we don’t lose Heupel to his Alma mater?

I am reliably informed that there ain't no love in Oklahoma, so relax. CJH isn't going anywhere any time soon.

Send him a bag of Hershey Kisses?

 

[GetYouSomeofThat]

It happened to oklahomas team too. He isn't magically going to find himself in a place that doesn't boo their own after 200$+ admission prices

If money causes an adult to boo, they ought to be at home.

Pat Dye played at Georgia. Vince Dooley played at Auburn. Darrell Royal played at Oklahoma. Not every coach is pining to go back to their alma mater. Sometimes guys want to create a legacy somewhere else.

This has been discussed ad nauseum. He's not going to Oklahoma so relax

 

[theFallGuy]

Fans are funny. Last week we beat Florida and people are talking about his seat being hot

 

[chuckiepoo]

OP got a really bad case of BVS.

…and doubles down after every big victory.

 

[WiseOlVol]

When he got to Oklahoma, they were already a juggernaut.

At Tennessee, he has single-handedly rebuilt a great national brand and put his imprint on it.

It's like a new child.

Zero chance he ever leaves here voluntarily.

When Tennessee is winning, there is not a better job in FBS.

 

[UTFanForLife]

Just keep Bob Stoops alive, that’s all you gotta do.

I just discovered that Josh Heupel is the second UT head coach that hails from South Dakota. Anyone know (without looking) who the first was?

Don't boo your coaches and players

Poor coaches making millions of dollars. We'll try to do better.

Neyland?

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

What if Danny White goes to OU, huh? Anyway let's not deify the guy. He's an AD and not a miracle worker.
I doubt Heupel would leave what he's building here and hope that he doesn't but if he does then we'll find a new coach.

Good lord man just stop.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Don't boo your coaches and players

When players and coaches deserve it, you absolutely boo them. What do you do? Celebrate crappy play?

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

Neyland?

No, but I think this might give it away. He played at another school and became head coach here, then left to go back to that school. That might be behind some of the BVS thinking that CJH might go home.

You can boo-do what you want it's a free country. What does that accomplish? What do fans think they are communicating? You think a coach that's played at this high of level and coached at this high of level doesn't understand when his teams are playing bad? Do fans think that's productive? Is it merely for the fans to communicate their displeasure? He brought us from the cellar-many coaches turned us down-he didn't, to sniffing the playoffs in 4 years. Go ahead and boo. I'm sure it's very helpful

You do know that "Fan" is short for "Fanatic" doncha?

I could see a season where you're getting your ass handed to you but we've got 1 loss. It may be warranted at some point,but I do not believe it's warranted right now. Feel free to disagree and boo

 

[Jimmyandjoes]

Yep. I also realize there are 100k fans and not all are booing. It's a certain segment. It's a choice. You can encourage and try to build up or boo. Some choose to boo. I'm glad some chanted "Nico" when he came back in. I'm sure it gave Nico confidence. Maybe not. If they can hear the boos,they can hear the encouragement too. Fans choice
