That actually seems par for the course for UT.No way they are hiring Huepel. To use a search firm then turn around and hire the coach from the same school the AD just came from. That is complete bananas, what is going on here. Definetly a waste of time and money. I don't buy it. That would be totally stupid.
How in the world do you recruit with an interim coach? Be realistic here.
IF it is Josh Heupel, here's all I gotta say:
Awesome news, great fit, looking forward to bright days ahead for the Tennessee Vols.
As long as Josh is wearing orange, he's my coach, and I'm gonna give him 100% support. Go Vols![/QUOTE
Wait and see approach, I'm still not buying it. Until it's official. By the time we beat Ga, Fl, and Alabama, Saban will be retired, Mullen will have moved on to the NFL, Smart will be still good at Ga. Can't believe they chose Josh flipping Heupel. He has been coaching for awhile , he is a OC that is what he is. Period.
I'm curious, we have the most players in the portal of any school. We are hiring a coach on the eve of signing day. We potentially have 50 NCAA violations. We were 3-7 with 7 blowout losses last year. Did you somehow think we were hiring Saban or Meyer? Otherwise we will suck for several years no matter who was hired.
It amazes me the cup half empty people. The guy has played in college and the pros. Oklahoma guy who knows football. Has been a successful head coach. Can recruit in FL. Is gonna get strong support from AD and work well together. If he can read or write he's two upped our last coach. I like our chances versus the last 5 numbnuts we've had.
