For those less than enthused with this hire take this into consideration. CJH wanted this job when most others didn’t. Despite all of the adversity, despite unprecedented hurdles and despite a diminished roster he thought enough of this job to take on such a daunting task. He left a comfortable situation in Orlando to come to Knoxville to build something from the ground up. You can question whether he can get the job done but fact of the matter he is willing to give it a go. If your going to be critical of anyone be critical of those that didn’t have confidence in themselves that they could turn this thing around. Get behind this guy and remember a lack of early success doesn’t fall on him but does on the previous administration and coaching staff. Welcome to Rocky Top CJH!

With the looming sanctions and depleted roster, plus the direct effect it will have on recruiting, I don’t think any coach would succeed regardless of who it is.

The best we can hope for in the next 3-4 years is a couple solid wins/seasons and to build a roster foundation for the next guy.

The next hire, hopefully free of sanctions and any major buyout, and with some decent talent, needs to be a grand slam.

Heupel is a great hire for where we are and what we are about to go through. Not the best in the business, but he accepted the challenge and knows he is likely walking into a set up for failure.

CJH stepped up to the plate after several said no, so I support him and hope for the best.

Enough with damn "He took the job when no one wanted it". I'm so sick and tired of people saying that about coaches like it's some hardship. He's getting a massive raise and a P5 job when he was in play for no other major job. Oh the humanity, he's getting paid a lot more and in 3 years will probably get a massive buyout. The poor man!

No. I'm done handing out blind loyalty to coaches.

Then don't get on Twitter and slam it like an idiot. He has won 78% of his games, coached a guy to a Heisman, and puts up top 5-10 offenses almost every single year.

The admin has screwed up in the past but the fans only hurt the program acting like idiots

Im just glad we actually have a coach that has won a football game at the D1 level that wants the job. GBO! Truth hurts that we are not a desired location anymore, many coaches turned us down this cycle to include two AAC coaches and an OC.

Come on!...He was the only one who said yes to the job...UCF fans are happy we poached him because he was getting in hot water with his declining losses every year....This is just a career move to add on more years before he gets fired and becomes Sabans OC.

What are you talking about.

What other other coach is in play for any job right now? NEWS FLASH, TN IS THE ONLY ONE HIRING RIGHT NOW

He seems like a good man. Someone who will give his all for UT. Just remember he turned Bradford into a heisman winner. He made Landry Jones look competent. He got drew lock a 2nd round draft grade and he’s turned Dillion Gabriel into a monster. QB whisperer. We need this kind of coach.
