Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Just got a text from a current player that Steele is staying on as DC

Please be true!

VN, I am done with my angry stage (and I apologize) and have moved on to acceptance. Not thrilled, but it is what it is. We better hope recruiting picks up and they we can field an above average defense.

Better offense is fun but doesn't necessarily equate to wins

Dee Beckwith is going to eat in this offense

Heupel > Kiffin

Well considering where we are now hopefully some can see why some of us were hope if for Pruitt to be back with little violation problems...

Where we are now is starting over with a coach that knows offensive football, so at least watching games won’t be as painful as pulling teeth like it was with Pruitt.
So No I don’t think anyone can understand why we would want a Defensive minded coach that had an offense and defense that sucked and watching games was like watching paint dry over virtually anyone!

 

[UTK]

I wonder why Herman was never contacted

 

[Orange Studs]

I'm cool with it tbh. I think it'll be fun to watch. In today's game it seems better to have an offensive mind rather than a defensive guy. With the right DC, we could be good. Also, the bright offensive minds seem to naturally attract good "skill" players. We will be fine.

That's the spirit! lol

Here is a positive post:

There is no way Heupel would have started a bad QB for 3 straight years
Does not get blown out every game(just 1 time)

Bob Stoops likes Heupul, that's good enough for me. Almost like getting Bob himself, IMO.


*Seriously, I've talked myself into believing this is a great hire. We need a good DC and a coaching staff that's the right mix of developers and recruiters.

Didn't Bob Stoops fire Heupul?

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Why do you like osovet? Not coming at you I’m just wonder what has he done to warrant you liking him

He recruited some of the best players in this year's class.

 

[JCP201]

One good thing lost in all this rage hurricane...They have got a lot of money to spend on staff, and great assistants are mercenary..they go where they are paid the best

I'm sure we didn't pay this guy like we were going to pay the whales, so maybe we can get some good staff. The defensive players seemed pleased too --so maybe they know things.

 

[UpstateVol613]

Most of us aren’t happy with how this search went but that’s because we believed “insiders” were going to bring us Bob Stoops or Matt Campbell. They didn’t. That sucks. Time to move on, we have Heupel.

Guys, UT recruits itself. Heupel with some good assistants will be top 20 without a doubt, even under this NCAA cloud. Could be Top 10 if he hires guys like Garner and keeps Steele and Graham. At the very least we’re going to be fun to watch on offense. That’ll be a nice change of pace.

Am I doing backflips at this hire? No. But his resume is better than the last few coaches we’ve hired. I’m ready to see what he can do. Let’s go!

A top 20 recruiting class puts you about 10th in the SEC.

Heupel > Kiffin

I wouldn't go that far, but he's much more stable.

Umm. Bob Stoops and Heupel are definitely not friends. Bob Stoops liked Heupel at one point I guess lol.

Total D last year for Heupel’s football team..
View attachment 345670

His DC at UCF sucked (D grade per Dave Bartoo). Give him Steele (A grade and knows how to work with uptempo) and things will look different. Won’t be shutting out opponents with his offensive style, but anyone who wants that needs to pay attention to what’s happened the last couple of years in CFB

Welp back to the old avi

Not to be a Debbie Downer but in this particular example. Bob Stoops fired Heupul also.

 

[Volfanatic_20]

And hasn't had a chance to go on the road and recruit. Will be a nice holdover if they keep him.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

If Heupel wasn't fat and looked like a dork in that batman outfit most of y'all would be happy

If he had an arm sleeve tattoo some people would want him as HC.

You lost me here. Would that make him cooler?

We're bipolar AF. Went from complete nuclear meltdown to acceptance and even excitement from some, all in the span of an hour.
