Why won‘t Heupel take sole responsibility for Saturday

I guess Pat Summit didn't live up to your standards of great leaders then as she frequently used team references in post game comments. Pretty successful nonetheless

Yeah, but she shaved her face before games. That's the secret to championships. Not everyone knows it though.

I don’t want him fired. I just want him to own up to his responsibility. Leaders do that. They don’t spread the blame, even if it can logically be spread

In your head they do that.

I've seen many references to Saban since Saturday. It's the same coach speak.

Heupel can't even groom himself or choose a shirt that didn't come off the floor. You expect him to demonstrate leadership?

Only half kidding. Heupel is happy to be making 9M a year and he is gonna milk that as long as he can. And he likely has 2-3 years before his seat gets hot.

He isn't gonna take personal responsibility for anything. Heck, he doesn't even hold his coaches accountable.

Late stage Fulmerism is where we are heading. Stand by for endless players who "fail to develop"

Yeah, I'm bitter today. And I have a right to be.

::: Cue "Coach-is-Always-Right" crowd to tell me to find another team :::

I think if football makes you this miserable, you might want to consider another way to spend your time.

Yes it was a team loss; but I am very disappointed that Heupel keeps saying „we“ and „us“ instead on „I“ and „me“.
Great leaders share the praise but accept the blame.
I would have so much more respect for Heupel if he just came out and said „I screwed up“.

Whether the team wins or loses, one person is never the only reason.

After a win, do you wanting CJH taking “sole responsibility” for the win? Of course not.

I think he's getting really tired of his high profile receivers dropping the ball.

It’s super easy to take credit when things go well, but true character is revealed in times of difficulty and adversity! Hype is revealing his true character are you be paying attention? Saturday after a Kentucky win his true character will be in the closet again!

Heupel will probably never throw a player under the bus publicly. While the play call on the pick 6 was bizarre if executed well we score. It was a bad throw from a QB who was clearly not at his best after getting hammered on 2 different plays. He just didn't have the zip on the throw. It was a dumb play call in that situation which would have required perfect execution.
That being said, had they gone 4 wide and just run a QB draw he probably walks in untouched.

And if he doesn’t score on the QB draw, everyone hollers about what a dumb play that was.

Then some get on a complains that Heupel needs to shave and lose weight.

Cause it’s all not his fault? Things will not change until players take responsibility also.

Danny Ford once said “I used to always accept the blame when we lost just like Coach Bryant did. Then one day Frank Howard told me I’d better stop cause soon they’ll believe me”.

I wish people would get off the bit about coach shaving and his weight. Some things people, fall under their own personal business. After all, we hired a football coach, not an MC of a beauty pageant!

This is the same nonsense I used to see posted about Fulmer.

Even if he did the detractors wouldn’t accept it and find some other thing to whine about.

I’m sure he knows what mistakes he made but at the same time the players didn’t execute some things he did right too.

End of the day TN made more mistakes and paid a price for it. It’s in the Maxims.

The word used all day today on the Knoxville homer radio shows was "ceiling", perhaps the SEC has changed significantly in the short time Heupel has been here and the NIL/revenue share dollars are all tilted heavily in favor of the football program and again you get this mistake filled, error prone result when on the big stage on the road. Don't confuse Mississippi State or Starkville for Alabama and Tuscaloosa, they are very close on the map, but light years apart in terms of talent, skill level, in game adjustments, scouting and competitive level.

Well WE did drop balls, procedure penalties,
Snap ball on ground, stupid hit out of bounds, and miss some tackles.

Imagine how Saturday night would have gone if this was what our coach looked like.
