Herbstreit hot take on Tennessee - Lock down Heupel

[deezvols]

So dumb Herbie….. he won’t even live 100 more years

 

[HalfullVol]

Herbie is correct here.

Unhappy trolls can find anything to moan about. They don’t find enough happiness in the success Hype has brought back to VolNation.
It’s never enough for some people.

We’re not there yet but it is in the works.

Enjoy the ride.

In before, he's a tOSU homer who wants us to suck.

exactly what I was thinking! When they hate your coach and want you to fire him now that is when you know you have a good one. ! I couldn’t stand Saban and now Smart but they regularly beat our ass every year!!

 

[Hairy Vols]

We hired Pruitt because we didn’t actually conduct a search in the aftermath of the gettable good coaches. Stopping the Schiano hire was the right call. Just because they screwed up the hire after Schiano doesn’t mean it was wrong.

I wanted Leach.

 

[The Original Fade]

Agree with Herb but there are a lot of folks at ESPN that just want Tennessee to be happy with 8-9 wins and stop trying to be elite

I sure hope your optimism will pan out because if it doesn’t it’s going to be a long off season for you folks that just last week was sure we were going to the playoffs! As for me I’m ready got basketball and baseball seasons !

And I'll say this again "be humble" fire JH and you'll never get a coach thats worth a damn near Knoxville a long while again unless they coming to kick the Vols ass..

Imagine Heupel/Kiffin going to LSU/Florida where talent is readily available!! Y'all better humble yourselves and be content with what we have

 

[chuck0303]

That is a fair point. BUT look what we got instead. Pruitt without a doubt was worse than Schiano.

Thank you Phil Fulmer.

 

[chuck0303]

Franklin as OC/ assistant HC. Exclusively responsible for 2 minute offense and clock management.

Tucker as DC

(I’m dreaming, I know)

Franklin is an AZZ; never hire him!

 

[livefaith]

Best coaching advice he's had for us since bringing in Greg Shiatno

 

[volfan2024]

He has probably never seen a team fold that had so much promise so fast.

I mean he did win 2 playoff games last year so must not be to bad

 

[TooLegit2Quit]

This isn't a hot take. It is common senaee.

I remember Saban saying in an interview how good a job Dooley was doing at Tennessee too. I take these things with a grain of salt. Heupel is getting 9 million per to win games at home that we lost Saturday night. Simple really.

Much different than Saban bringing up Dooley

 

[Other_Guy]

Why would we lock the staff down?

Cool. So we’ll lower the ticket prices back down and do away with the talent fee and the OW game will be free??

 

[Ned Ray McWorkher]

Why would we lock the staff down?

Because we are happy with him and his one big win over 5 years.

Everyone needs to chill and wait and see what unfolds over these three events;
1. Results of Fla game
2. Results of Vandy game
3. End of season coaching adjustments

Give JH a chance to right the ship otherwise it will be a hot seat next season

 

[Brave Volunteer]

I agree with Kirk (not the 100 years part), but if he thinks the fanbase is ridiculous now, watch what happens if we lose to Vandy at home!

Bringing up one of Saban’s long tenured assistants and one of the few coaches to put BTA on Bama is diabolical behavior

Even then Heupel will not be on the hot seat- guess people forgot it was Florida fans that ran off Spurrier

 

[madbamahater]

The only people that truly want Heupel gone are opponents of Tennessee.

Vols were slated for 7/8 wins this year.

 

[adam.vol]

It’s a hot pile of something. I’ll file this “Herbie” in the same drawer as his crying Covid plea.
