'25 Recruiting Forum: Official Tennessee versus Oklahoma Pre-game/Game Thread

[JCP201]

Anyone "out on Heupel" after what we've been through for 20 years needs to go back to the Bama bandwagon.

 

[Jack Burton]

Really starting to doubt Heupel.

 

[UTK]

He’s similar to richt but may never get that SECchamp

Just too early to say that definitively

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Better than Dooley, Butch and Pruitt

Nothing like peak Fulmer

True. Although Fulmer never coached in a SEC that is this tough.

 

[Weezer]

We need to win out.

Josh has his first bad home loss in his career and people are calling for him to fail. lol damn we have forgotten where we came from

I agree, but this one was on him, his first bad home loss, there are no scapegoats, the defense did it's job.

 

[Blake25p]

I know y’all love bashing CJH and he deserves blame but he didn’t tell the RT to blow his assignment for a 71 yard scoop and score. He didn’t tell his QB to throw 2 bad INTs, and had the perfect play call on 4th and 1 and the scholarship TE dropped it. I’ll se myself out.

 

[TheBigOne10]

maybe last year was just a fluke for heupel

The SEC sucked ass last year overall and our schedule was pretty soft. Also got absolutely smoked in the playoffs. The ROI on the sheer spending and investment in this program doesn’t add up.

FLA defense > OKLA defense

 

[I4Jay]

I still remember when Josh was hired, you mentioned things about him and his program. All of those are still true today

Brother, I didn’t want to be right but he is consistent

It is mind boggling that he hasn’t attacked his weak points.
There’s just no way we can be great until he addresses his own issues as a head football coach

I support Heup, but he’s not been good this year.

*Me in Junior Sopranos voice to this squad:

You never had the makings of a playoff team

 

[volfaninpa]

Beginning of the end for Butch was after his team botched 1st quarter momentum against OU and lost the game. I hope the same isn't true of Heupel.

 

[UTK]

Really starting to doubt Heupel.

Why? We were playing for the playoffs in November still after our starting QB ditched us in spring haha

 

[rjd970]

Well this sucks.

Only thing that can make this season bearable is a win in the swamp.

 

[orange parmejohn]

Heup has to clean house this offseason.

Danny White only runs off coaches that win national championships.

 

[Go Fight Win]

I really do love you all and this community

This is pain

 

[nashvol1]

FLA defense > OKLA defense

Agree and that was without their best on D. They were so much more physical.

 

[jmacvols1]

Yeah the turnovers had nothing to do with it. Look man it sucks and makes me angry to but we had a bunch of problems tonight.

I'd he hit the fg the turnovers would not matter

 

[UTK]

I support Heup, but he’s not been good this year.

Had his faults in the UGA game for sure. But what did he do so badly here? Can’t block for the oline himself

 

[PlanetVolunteer]

We are basically cursed forever

 

[UTK]

FLA defense > OKLA defense

UF is a good defense but OU is the best defense in the country and it’s not that close tbh. Problem is we have to play @UF

 

[Jackcrevol]

I appreciate the passing game. But if it isnt there they have to he able to run. OL should be better in y5. we dominate teams
were supposed to dominate, and rarely anyone we arent.

 

[nashvol1]

We need to win out.

We won’t…hype will lose at Florida as he does.

 

[TN-POSSUM]

I remember when we only allowed 2 sacks in the first 6 games and then Heup decided to play musical chairs with them

It started in the alabama game. I get we gave Sanders a ton of money and he won the RT spot in camp but we were playing so good on the offensive line when he was out. It wasn't necessary to try and bring Sanders back in. He will be a top 5 draft pick but he could've red shirted this season or at least, waited until someone got hurt. The o-line hasn't been right since Arkansas
