I thought Wanya already committed to OU and was not enrolled?

 

[goooooovols]

Good grief if JH puts on the Pruitt 25 we are going to have a Chaney on our hands

His wiki says 6-1, 215...

 

[engineerVOL]

Haha he does. And similar coaches too I think. Long lost son?

He goes bald... Gru...

 

[Sleegro]

I bet we hammer the transfer portal.

Probably gonna be a good year for it.

Pretty sure Franklin wasn't top of the list, but he was the only one that UT was ready to paper. Others said no rght away. JH was backpocketed all along, and once they got to a certain point, it was all Heupel and they finalized a deal very quickly. UT knew before hiring DW that he could bring others and put together a package at a reasonable cost. UT basically bought a $6MM safety net, and they used it.

I love that they had a plan and followed it. Yeah, wish it could have been a Campbell, Fickell or Fleck for the good press and happy fans. But considering....we got a really good offensive coach that performed well in the SEC as an OC that has head coaching experience. He's produced many great QBs. The players are going to love scoring points after what they've been through. Get the defense set and we should win some games, get some recruits and start competing for championships in a few years. If he doesn't work out the AD should be in a better position to hire someone else later.

Oh no, Jay. What is you doin'? X2

I read today how fast the tempo is under CJH. I watched some of this game on Youtube. Tempo was certainly crazy.

Consistently snapped with 32 or 33 seconds on the play clock.

They did okay. May turn out to be better than okay. I knew they weren't going to pull one of the fan faves, so my expectations were tempered.

I'm not going to say I didn't buy in and have hope that we would get an A+. I like Kiffin and Freeze but knew they weren't real options. Out of the Dykes tier, I like Huepel better. Just gotta not nuke the program for a few years and stabilize this thing.

Tee is being a baby if all that’s true. If he didn’t play here, him being interviewed wouldn’t even be halfway considered. It would be like giving osovet an interview.

Yeah Tee needs to just go coach at a lower level for a bit and prove his worth as a head coach... then he has a gripe

Henry T's comment. Still wondering what his plan is

Oklahoma sure is getting rich off our program this off-season.

IMO Heupel and Dykes are not from the same tier.

Agreed. He couldn't even get the South Alabama job..

I laughed out loud ty

 

[SweetasSoda]

Breaking out some new black jerseys for the Ole Miss game?

That would be priceless lol.

VFL Tobias Harris with the game winning shot versus the Lakers!

TV money kicks in in a few years. If JH can win 7-8 games for 4-5 years the fan base will stick around enough and the money will be there.
I hate agreeing with Bruin, but I believe his is correct in the second hire will be more important than the first.

I'm in the camp that feels with this hire there might not be a need for a second hire for a very long time.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

They arent... just going by how it seemed we searched.

 

[UpstateVol613]

I am just glad he already found a good landing spot...he had so many opportunities to leave and is a legit superstar coach but stayed for his university...and that’s not me saying that with orange tinted homer glasses.

 

[SugarCC]

How could you not?

OP said, "never know who's into D & D"
She's into it, big time. Does web vids on it and everything. I love her. Just watched True Blood again not too long ago.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

I would love that, but I honestly have no idea. I'm not going to sit here and complain about Heupel his offensive numbers excite me, but his defense scares me. I see him making this a machine, but I could also see him tanking the program even more. I just dont know what to expect. Im on the roller coaster though, wherever it takes us.

 

[nicksjuzunk]

Another question is, will he retain Weinke as QB coach? I'm not sure if Weinke is/was the problem but our QB development over the last few years has been seemingly brutal.

Huepel meeting Weinke after reviewing some QB film...

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I want to believe I really do. Just go check out the UCF 247 message boards. They are happy...

They won't be...

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

That’s cool with me.

Agreed I hope they bring back the Smokey’s and bring in the Blacks. Also, I hope they get rid of the Black cleats.....

 

[C-town Vol]

Busy day at work, just now able to get back in here. Where are we right now? Are we still at raging “I’m out” lunatic levels, or have we already made it to “convinced we are gonna win 8 games next year” levels?

Texans owner setting up a black coach for failure lol
