Those of you in the know, help me understand our coach by making some comparisons with other head coaches (current or former). I don't mean in terms of his W/L record...that would be an easy comparison for someone with the right stats, and it's not what I'm looking for. I mean his personality, his demeanor, his coaching philosophy, his offensive or defensive schemes, his leadership style, etc. Who is most like him? (Probably not just one person.) Is he a "faith and values" guy like Dabo? Is he a motivator of lesser quality players that gets the most out of them like Stoops at Kentucky? Is he energetic and geared toward fast paced offenses like Mike Leach? Is he a great leader with charisma like Matt Campbell? Is he super demanding and gets his whole staff pulling toward the same mission like Saban? Which coaches have aspects of their career that remind you of our guy? And I'll say it again: some of the comparison coaches here might have a much better winning record, but that's NOT what I'm asking. My question is about how the coach tries to execute his job in all facets, not the degree to which he may have had success on the field in comparsion to CJH.
He is Abraham Lincoln. He can teach kids to never give up because brighter days are ahead.
Consider this:
- he was fired as offensive coordinator from his alma mater, Oklahoma after their 2014 season and Oklahoma fans calling for his head even though he was a Heisman runner up and led them to a national championship as QB during his college playing days
- but he rebounded and landed OC role at Utah State and then Missouri where he was named OC of the year
- he then became head coach of Central Florida where he went from 12-1 to 10-3 to 6-4 and fans were getting restless
- but he rebounded and landed the head coach role at Tennessee where he will be named COTY within the next two years...
Heupel is a Leach clone-- why run it, when you can throw it. Played under Leach the year before winning the NC at OU. He's an X-O's guy, will coach up 3*'s to play like 5*'s, look at how many former players got drafted this year.
He wears a live rattlesnake as a condom.
I once saw him scissor-kick Angela Lansbury.
“Did I ever tell you about the time He showed up at my daughter’s wedding? You know my daughter, she’s a beautiful girl. Well, he shows up and you know he’s a big fella. Well, he’s standing right between me and my daughter at the ceremony. He’s got no right to be there, but he’s drunk and he’s Heupel. Well, long story short, the priest accidentally marries me and Heupel. We spend the weekend in the Poconos — he loved me like I’ve never been loved before.
He once punched a hole in a cow just so he could see who was coming up the road.
Your statement about running the ball is not true. UCF finished 20th in total rushing yards. Finished 25th in rushing yards per game (210 yards per). In comparison to Leach's Mississippi State, the Bulldogs were dead last with 44 yards per.
UFC finished 5th in passing yards per game (357).

357 > 210

His scheme is apparently heavily influenced by Mike Leach, but he could not be much more opposite in personality than The Pirate. I have yet to see a coach that Huepel reminds me of when it comes to personality. Huepel seems to lack the arrogance and charisma that you see in a lot of successful coaches and that is the only area I have wondered about. That said, he seems every bit as intelligent as any coach I have listened to. His calm, even tempered and seemingly humble personality could be something that bodes well for him and wins trust from his players, recruits and their families over time as long as that is backed by the player development we just saw at UCF.He’s a rally the players by strapping on a helmet guy, like the late great Teddy Roosevelt, running up the hill with nothing but a sword, bullets flying by.
His offense is deep rooted in attacking and winning each and every battle to become victorious in the war, I’d compare him to Ghengis Khan
His defenses are legendary, doing more with less is the name of the guy. Want an example? Look no further than the mighty Spartans at Thermopylae.
You and ACvol3 just got stuck in a recursive loop. You're falling down a rat hole, together.I bet anyone who complains about people being miserable is probably miserable themselves. The “Life” of the party.
