Recruiting Forum Football Talk IX

I hope over but my prediction would be under. I just think our fan base is not reasonable and can be way too toxic. It's not just our fanbase but everywhere. Just look at the coaches fired this year and our schedule is only getting harder in future years.
You'll have to define reasonable. Should fans be happy with 8,9 and occasional 10 win season? It appears that's what you get with Heup. He's not going anywhere this year. Lose to Vandy at home, seat gets warm. Next year with similar results, seat gets hot. I suspect we'll see the obligatory coaches moving on after the season, the sacrifices, the chance to right the ship. If I had to guess, he'll be here 3 more seasons.
 
If you take a step back and analyze the situation instead of reacting out of being emotional you have to ask how Florida's plan of firing coaches at the first sign of adversity has actually performed? I would submit that it has them wondering in the wilderness like we did before Heupel. I personally don't want to use the current Florida model as something that I want UT to follow as it has been an absolute failure. The reality is there are almost no gauranteed home run hires and more often than not firing a coach with the level of success of someone like Heupel leads to negative results the majority of the time. We should strive to achieve a championship but expecting one or else is fools gold. I would say we are accepting the best run in two decades and competing to get into the playoffs which is reasonable.
No where have I said get rid of Heupel. That would be dumb. I’m saying we accept more than florida and it’s true. Not that it worked out. But they did make the sec championship game a couple of times with those coaches and we still haven’t. We need help on both sides. Doesn’t mean an overhaul. But we clearly need some better development.

Anyone with contacts within the AD…..I have subscribed to the (game) calendars and they are appearing on the day of the game but NOT the time. They used to adjust it as the game was announced. Would appreciate it….thanks.
 
“Drunk on misery” is a great line. Perfectly describes my mindset right now.

My rational side is having a difficult time reconciling with the reality that last night was a BAD home loss, considering the stakes.

A Jimmy Football divided against itself cannot stand…
It can be a bad home loss but not the end of an era at the same time.
 
Right on que by AP


That’s what I’m wondering
Be interested to see if any are replaceable
I’m sure AP is being ominous to drive up clicks
Knoxvile media and guys covering the team love drama

I say see ya
As a coach you want those kids to relish the pressure and focus on themselves and how they can step their game up. Thats the only way you get better as a team, everyone doing their job exceptionally well, at the same time - as one. If they can’t focus on that, git gone.
