Riley to USC…the inevitable Josh Heupel to OU freak out thread

[Mr French]

 

[Jaws]

Wow. Didn’t see that coming.

 

[RockyTopFox]

inb4 vols fans think Tennessee is too good for Heup to leave when a coach literally just left Oklahoma.

 

[midnight orange]

Does Oklahoma start sniffing around Knoxville?

 

[dustyrhodes]

Heupel will get paid. This coaching search season is crazy.

 

[Jaws]

Stunning. Will OU now make a play for Kiffin? Heupel?

 

[peaygolf]

USC reportedly targeting Lincoln Riley

 

[dustyrhodes]

He has informed OK. Crazy times.

 

[perico]

I don’t think Heupel would pull a Kiffin on us, but can’t say I’m having much luck avoiding those deja vu vibes.

 

[Mose Phillip's Watch]

Open the checkbook to keep JH


Short list if we lose JH

Dana Holgerson
Lane Kiffin
Peyton
Gruden
Luke Fikell

Look for UKs Stoops to OU

 

[VolInNW]

Good Grief. Heupel is not going to OU. I understand, and suffer from, BVS, but this is a whole next level.

Calm down.

 

[ArcherVol]

Meltdown in 3…2…1…

lol. Not a chance. coach hype left okie on bad terms (not to mention he is obviously cooking at home), and kiffin wants nothing to do with okie.

 

[TrumpedUpVol]

Tennessee has seemingly avoided sanctions and the program, while far from its glory days, is going to an okay bowl game and is in somewhat solid shape (in spite of the questionable incoming recruiting class).

I very much would like to hold onto Heupel, and the number of blue chip programs with openings is concerning, but Tennessee would have an easier time looking for a coach than they did in 2017 and 2020. Let's just hope it, you know, doesn't actually come to that (which, given the way Heupel departed OU, I don't believe it will).

 

[VolnJC]

This makes more sense than LSU...lot easier to win in PAC 12 than SEC

 

[SDV]

They won’t hire him, but I would not fault him one bit for wanting to coach at his Alma mater

 

[VolFreakJosh]

No disrespect to Heupel but Oklahoma would have to strike out on major targets before even considering Heupel.

 

[Mose Phillip's Watch]

Oh boy

 

[perico]

LOL 247 sports just crashed

 

[Mr French]

Don't know why my thread got renamed. I honestly think Stoops goes to OK before heupel but thanks.

 

[Jaws]

This may explain why LSU is cozying up to Mark Stoops lately.

And in all the backwash, someone is going to snatch up Dan Mullen. Maybe not a heavyweight, but a Kentucky or Va Tech.

Calm down.

I’ll be calm when it’s over.

 

[1989Vol]

Came here to freak out and post this thread.

Let me say if they offer...........he is gone, like Lane Kiffin in the night.

 

[Mr French]

Stoops is my guess. He's maxed out at Kentucky and they need defense in a bad way with a coach who has SEC roots.
