Some fans are really short sighted. Banks has been a bust this year and a liability, but after last season NOBODY wanted him fired and many were concerned we might lose him as a head coach elsewhere. We had an elite defense last year, what was Heupel supposed to do, see the future (this year) and fire him? The guy that just fielded one of our best defenses? All camp I kept hearing the defense was way ahead of the offense as well. Heupel is probably just as shocked and disgusted as the fans. You can't fire him at this point in the season because you are still fighting for a playoff spot and atleast you know what to expect from Banks compred to an unknown with whoever would take over. You let it play out and adjust in the offseason. I've seen a lot of growth with Heupel these last few years. He completely revamped the offense this year. When he first got here he couldn't run clock to save his life and it cost us games but he has since adjusted. I feel like he will get us a championship at some point, just gotta be patient. He has a monster recruiting class coming in and will find the right guy for the defensive side of the ball.

Bring on the hate. I like heupel. I don’t think his seat should even be a little warm. He is here to stay and I am happy about that. His look has nothing to do with the way he coaches. But, it may matter a bit in recruiting.

These are kids and the same way they want flashy pics and uniforms, they want everything tight and looking good. Do you think young stud football players feel more connected to a Marcus freeman or a Josh heupel?

I would never have brought the topic up, but I do think there may be something there. Wouldn’t hurt him to try the gym or cover up the turkey neck with a beard.

I walked into my gym this week and there was a new trainer. I took one look and knew I was not asking him for any help. Made me think of y’all.

I’ve met him a couple of times and don’t recall him looking like that. I’ve only seen it during the season, which probably means he’s grinding during the week. Every other time outside the season, he appears to be in better shape and clean cut. It’s only a thing when folks want to criticize what’s played on the field.
