Official grief thread

[GAVol]

Then you go hire Freeze and stop pretending there is any integrity in this profession.

Maybe so... but for all we know, people like Freeze weren’t going to say yes either. It’s probably a bigger risk for a guy like Freeze to take the job than it is for us to go after him. He can sit at Liberty another year or two making good money and cherry-pick.

Our leadership

 

[TheFlash1971]

ouch... I hope we aren't paying him 5mil. Wasn't he only making like 1.3 million at UCF? That's a big pay raise.

Ok so we pay him 3.5 - 4 mil. Remember this people , you get what you pay for.

 

[VolBricks]

he will probably bring his whole staff with him from UCF. It will be Butch V2.0. Heupel was good with Frosts recruits and then has gone down hill since then.

 

[volsforever27]

You don't pay that kind of money for an AD and use a search firm to hire the guy you were with. Not to mention UCF fans are celebrating.

 

[VOLnMiami]

this dude hasn't had a losing season as a HEAD COACH.

He's about to....And for your information he was well on his way at UCF of having one as well...His teams win totals dropped every year.

 

[MADISONGAVOL]

If your finding today rather depressing here's the place to cuss and complain.

Hey its volnation, everyone complain about everything ....good lord people live a miserable life

 

[Majors]

We were 3-7 last year, this hire wasn't the worst thing to happen to this program the last 12 years.

 

[GAVol]

Then there was/is no point in making him the highest-paid AD in the SEC. Rock-star money, meh results.

I’m undecided on that, but you may have a point.

 

[TheFlash1971]

Nope. This is not a good hire. Its a hire. Thats it. It is a hire. Underwhelming.

I'm so disappointed, I'm officially done watching this sheet show.

Matt Campbell loses 5 games every season and half the fan base was beating their chest for him to be hired

There are firsts for everything!

 

[Majors]

love this reasoning. 12 wins, 10 wins, 6 wins. If he can get 22 wins in two years here we are back to when Manning was here.

Well I think we just disagree.

There was nothing innovative here (Plowman).

And you are not about to unleash the greatest decade in UT athletics (Boyd).

More fluff from UT.

 

[VaBornVol]

I really, really hope Heupel works out, but the more likely scenario is we will be helping Chadwell, Freeze and probably Leipold get raises in 2024

 

[VOL_Lyfe]

You don't bring in a rock-star AD to get this hire. You just don't.

 

[EasTnMountainMan]

I thought we were supposed to phone a friend or family member?

 

[jes]

.

 

[VolnJC]

It would help also if you guys would post your real name, age, highest education level, recent photo, and if you love Jesus
This is an okay hire that checked the boxes..HC experience...offensive minded...former AA player who won championship we aren't in a great position to attract the top coaches right now

 

[Sad_vol]

I thought we were supposed to phone a friend or family member?

There's always the suicide hotline as well.

 

[Burhead]

Never thought I'd see the day when I officially give up on the Vols but today is that day until the top level administration give a damn about winning why should I?

 

[yabbadabbado]

he will probably bring his whole staff with him from UCF. It will be Butch V2.0. Heupel was good with Frosts recruits and then has gone down hill since then.

I expected much better from this AD. Unacceptable.

 

[VOLnMiami]

We had a chance to hire a rock star type of head coach "Freeze" or "Chadwell" and just like Tennessee does they don't care...Never have and never will.

 

[FLVOL_79]

Man this is a good hire, chill out.

Exactly. We will never have another JG on the field with this guy and that is a huge upside.

Absolutely lol
