Heupel’s weight and facial scruff

I’d be willing to bet that if anyone in here spent the rest of the year making diet and exercise changes, they’d come away on New Year’s Day feeling energized and better than they did had they not made changes.

The subject of this thread is almost as bad as complaining about coaching salaries. You know, the guys that can't believe we should pay anybody over a million dollars when their cousin Elbert who has coached the Unicoi County peewees to ten championships over the years would do it for $110K.

"Looks fit" is not the same as "is fit". I get the point you're aiming at. I just don't think there's much substance to it.

I can tell you when your about 300 and should be about 200 you both look unfit and are unfit.

I was trying to be nice but he is pre diabetic weight.

Can the dude lose some weight? i mean for health reasons alone and it would probaly give him a little fire and energy on the sidelines during the games. He wasn’t a big dude in college best i remember. And also shave or grow a beard out make up your mind, his look is so slobbish looking and unprofessional right now for being a major head coach at a big university.

Thank you. This needed to be said. Team takes on coaches persona. Sloppy

I like you, Neo, so please don't take this personally. In the convo, you go from fit, to less than 30 lbs overweight, to 100 pounds, and cap it off with the phrase "pre diabetic weight". There is no weight which causes diabetes. Weight increases the risk of Type 2.

Yall should just admit you find him embarrassing. It hurts your feelings to see him the way he is. Because nobody has provided causation between weight / facial hair and coaching acumen. If the causal relationship existed, Kiffin (34-15 in 4years; Heup 37-14) and Dooley would have better records.

I disagree though. I like his relaxed approach. He wants his guys to be loose and have fun. Fun is something that was so apparent to be missing from UT football for 20 years prior to his arrival in Knoxville. I’d much rather he dress comfortably as look like some goofy stiff out there. As for facial hair, who gives a rip how he decides to wear it? Some of our fans look for the dumbest crap to complain about after we didn’t see the kind of outcome we thought we should have in a game.

I think his „relaxed“ approach may go a bit to far when it comes to disciplined play.

It's a different day and age compared to Gen Neyland's time.

Would you say Nick Saban was "relaxed?"

I saw a bunch of relaxed guys with poor snap count discipline, making lazy tackle attempts, and missing coverages. And it's been a chronic problem. Maybe there is some degree of a cultural issue.

I was actually just taking the opportunity to affirm Gen Neyland as the best because I thought most people would mention the bear.

Nick isn't relaxed. But there are high strung and demanding coaches who suck. There is much more than just the superficial factors being discussed. Nicks most outstanding quality is getting young men to focus in a way nobody ever has. Lou Holtz famously chastised a reporter who asked about having a new team next season and he quipped he has a new team every week. Even great coaches found it difficult to do what Nick was able to pull off.

I’ll say it again, when you lose and/or do what the fans think are dumb things—your weight, your looks and anything else will be critiqued. If you win, nobody cares and we’ll overlook pretty much anything.

I honestly never once thought about it prior to this nor cared. I still don’t care. My best friend is his size and has diabetes now. Doctor said it was due to weight.

He’s a football coach. Not a model nor a woman I’m trying to get with. His weight means nothing to me.

The correlation between appearance and self control is a timeliness issue going back centuries. I was just making an observation.

I was also trying to be nice cause fat shaming is not cool. 30 is overweight but not dangerous. 100 you are losing quality of life.

He wins this isn’t even a thread.
