What makes the neyland rising post so great is he has been trucking along from behind for so long and to finally catch up in time to bring a full one Mehupel post is just classic

 

[Jackcrevol]

One post 125 likes and counting. Best ratio in VN history?

who is neyland rising?

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Lebby as OC and Odom as DC
@Bassmaster_Vol
Was this a possibility or just some ****
That’s a top set of coordinators if true

VQ mentioned Lebby. Poster mentioned Odom. I believe Steele will be retained and Garner hired.

Calm. Down. Guys. Let this play out.

Can this play out by tomorrow please? I really need to get some work done.

 

[ThisIsTheYearVol]

I’d rather see us take Kiffin back after he started this mess, hire Freeze after firing a coach for recruiting violations or give Chadwell the chance we don’t have to risk than hire Heupel.

 

[volatil]

Herman sitting out there with no buyout and nothing to do

 

[jaybird_1981]

Ha Basilio just said if Heupel comes here don't be surprised if they hire Tony Elliott from Clemson. That would be so Tennessee.

 

[goooooovols]

To be honest, would be kinda cool to have a runner-up Heisman QB with a Natty under his belt as a player to be our HC. Plus playing for & coaching under Bob Stoops I bet he's got some good connections to pull for assistants here at UT.

Weinke?

 

[BJWeeks]

Basilio has basically confirmed Heupel

 

[mr.checkerboards]

There is no way Chadwell turned it down. He makes $375k!

Sounds like there wasn't an offer, but interest wasn't there on both sides.

Word. Why didn’t he recruit great? Is UCF a difficult place to recruit?

UCF just not a historic football program. They don’t have a national footprint. Their Surrounded by the big 3: UF, FSU & Miami.
On top of that, other Natioanally ranked teams come in and pluck the best of the best.
So UCF usually gets the kids who are overlooked or just a little undersized.
and to top it off, Orlando (central Florida area) doesn’t produce the same type of talent that Miami, palm beach, Tallahassee and other areas produce.

Calm. Down. Guys. Let this play out.

Get ready for 47 people to say you're just here to try to get us to accept a hire they don't want. I am k more than willing to let it play out.

Calm. Down. Guys. Let this play out.

Basilio talking about football right now, he said Fulmer absolutely destroyed the program and the number floating around coaches is 50 violations. Basilio thinks we did talk to Chadwell. He said Sonny Dykes did turn down the job. He said Heupel was the only one willing to take the job. Basillio said people he has talked to, they aren't happy with Heupel he isn't moving the bar, program is slipping. He said he think White tried, but nobody wanted the job. He said the one thing they didn't do, as of tonight they haven't talked to Jimmy Sexton clients. Napier, Kiffin and a few others weren't talked to. Said we didn't talk to Herman but the word on him is he needs to go back to the mid majors and prove he can get along with people. Basilio said Tony Elliott would take the UCF job to replace Heupel over the TN job. The UCF job is viewed as a better job in the coaching world right now

Freeze and Chadwell want it and would crawl here. Tired of excuses. And Elliott was gauging coaches interests. You don’t do that unless you are waiting on an offer. Calling BS. Excuses galore.

 

[engineerVOL]

Heard the players still haven't been told who the coach is.

Nah they met Heupel just didn’t know who he was.

I know some of yal lap up his spill, but Basillio is a drama queen. Always has been. Most of his talk is pure nonsense.

He feeds off drama. More Jerry Springer than legit reporter.

Lol

That will hurt some feelings

 

[chargervol]

Bama when Saban took over compared to UT currently are not even in the same universe in terms of roster talent and recent W/L records, to name a few things. Apples to oranges.

The point was that if you pay enough it doesn't matter. The worse it is, the more you have to pay but there's always a price.
*Not that I ever dreamed we'd do that. But we've been saying that for over a decade, not just this hire and it's always the same.

The 1 thing I accept above all else now - The new insane SEC TV contracts have made TN fans less of a priority. They would like the additional revenue. But they no longer HAVE to try to please us to make money. All we can do is hope they actually want to win.

It’s just an epic first post for @Neyland Rising and he probably just gave this thread our nickname for Heupel. Legendary.
