All in perspective I suppose. I don’t think Heup is a terrible coach. I do hate that he constantly fields undisciplined, mistake prone teams. That has been a constant of his.
I just don’t think he’s a next level coach. All depends on what you want out of the program I suppose. He can likely win 8-9 a season here for a good while but never sniff any sort of title.
We can likely win 9 this year with a bowl win and I’m sure many like yourself will be thumping your chest about his many 9-10 win seasons. But in all reality there’s a good chance we win 9 with losses to GA, Bama, Florida, OU, and a dog fight vs Vandy. With that said we won’t even have a win against a ranked opponent. So what did we really accomplish if we won 9 but lost to every good team and rival on our schedule?
Like I said, all depends on perspective. If you want to thump your chest over that “9“ then so be it. I look at the substance of that 9.
