Ready to see the headline: Heupel signs extension

#2
#2
This is yet another part of the cycle when you know your coach is getting fired in a year. The pumpers first complain about fictional people calling for his immediate firing, then they start demanding an extension for a disappointing performance.

“After what he took over and what he’s managed to do, I’d give him a lifetime contract” has been uttered about Dooley, Butch, and Pruitt after failures. Now Heupel is getting similar faux shows of confidence.

I don't think Danny White will sign any kind of extension this year.
I mean if the team just totally goes off the rails and tanks the last three games, or even goes 1-2, do you really want an extension?

He's here another 5 years until 2030 with a 37.5 million buyout that drops to 28 million in December 2027.
I don't think he's done anything to warrant an extension beyond those terms yet.

I get it, people want to sign him to an extension to keep his name out of the rumor mill of potential candidates at other schools.
But let's be smart about this...you don't give a guy raise just for the sake of giving him a raise.

Dude what are you talking about? 11, 9, 10 wins the last 3 seasons… Rewarding failure? Seriously GTFO with that nonsense

If ‘Ignorance’ ever reaches $100 a barrel I want drilling rights on your head.

FAFO if you don’t sign him to an extension. I don’t care what happens the rest of this season.

You don’t think the miracle he’s worked since taking over this dumpster fire of a program warrants protecting him in the most remarkable coaching vacancies environment of our lifetime?

I don’t get some of you.

Only $8 million for CJH to leave. You want to seriously roll the dice in this environment with all these openings?

He hasn’t worked a miracle. Even in his best season, he gave up 63 to South Carolina. Some of you think chewing gum and walking at the same time makes you a saint.

Any extension should add an equal amount for both parties. Giving him a 3 year extension at 10 million per to increase HIS buyout to 15 million TOTAL is every bit as silly as the people who talk about firing him.

You do realize the state of the program when took it over? Mass exodus of transfers and NCAA investigation. In spite of taking over a job literally no big time coach wanted, Heup won 11 games in year 2. That’s not working a miracle? You are a troll and not even a particularly good one. You should find a new hobby that you are actually good at because this ain't it 😂

No it wasn’t a miracle. That South Carolina game was maybe the worst loss in program history. You probably think not shítting your pants by the end of the day is a miracle.

Heupel had one all time win that year and one other really good win. Neither of those games were miracles. He took mostly Pruitt’s players and introduced a competent offensive system, and we managed to beat a couple decent teams with it. There was nothing miraculous about it. Jeremy Pruitt could have won 10 games if he hadn’t lost to Georgia State and BYU. Butch Jones could have won 11 a couple times if he had just won the games in which he had a double digit lead or was a double digit favorite. You “miracle” guys need to work on your vocabulary, because all Heupel did was a good job. Competent coaching was all that kept us from having 4 or 5 double digit win seasons in the 2010s. Tennessee winning 10 games is not and never was a miracle. Some guys failing to do that doesn’t make it miraculous when someone with an ounce of competence finally does.

Been reading all these comments on here for over 20years I would imagine and have never posted or commented. Been a Vol fan for 35+years. Legionnaire dude needs to delete his account.
