Injury: broken motivator

Ken Burns new documentary on The American Revolution started tonight at 8pm on PBS. Don’t worry you can record the reruns.

I'm sure will be out on VHS in a few years.

 

[GUNTERSVOL]

Haven’t heard that. I would imagine he’s not in the greatest of moods these days since he is staring down the possibility of a 7-5 season.

Nah!!! Doubt he is thinking anything but 10-3 after the bowl game. You don’t get where he is with a loser’s mentality like our pathetic and prolific nega crowd.

 

[GUNTERSVOL]

Agreed on how their tenures ultimately ended, but I recall the complaining in the years that led up to that - when we were still pushing through very solid seasons. It was just as obnoxious as what we hear today.

Those too bad years were bookends to a 9 and 10 win season if memory serves.

No problem with his job being in play, big problem without a legitimate short list in hand.

This could have already been posted but it just showed up in my YT feed. Cool interview. Alvin is impossible not to like.

 

[UTSuave’]

Yeah, Heup is a different coach this year, and not in a good way. We look poorly coached this season. Hope he gets the team turned in the offseason.

“poorly coached” absolutely right!..but what can we say about a coach that still has 3 timeouts left in his back pocket sitting at home

 

[ETNVolunteer1]

Yes

In fact, Boo went to the boo boo doctor about his boo boo.

And cause his play all season has been doo doo

 

[Orangeredblooded]

Boo is really dumb. Really. Like talking to a brick type of dumb. No chance he could coherently describe anything we do on offense or defense that a D1 coach doesn't already know.

Maybe not him, but I wouldn’t put anything passes his attention seeking sperm plant. I’m relieved he’s gone and hope somewhere along the way he gets some grownups not in his pockets and a true momma. It’s sad, but I’m relieved he’s gone. This is sad day for a young man being advised by supposedly grownups and not being his own man.

 

[RandomUTfan]

I am 59 years old. So, I’m old. What made me mad was first defensive series and almost everyone was just sitting Saturday. When we struggled at first they were complaining and saying how no one was making effort and some booed. I had enough because I stood up and yelled and everyone else sat. I finally yelled as loud as I could. You all want to boo the effort when all of you are sitting on your azz’s.

When people pay as much as it costs to go to a football game today, they are quick to boo when things don't go their way.

 

[Jackcrevol]

And cause his play all season has been doo doo

forced three very important fumbles. And when he did return punts he was highly effective. Even flipped field in crucial moments.

We need that. We dont have anything like that on the team. But, you have to cut ties here.

Loved the pre-season hype on Brahme. They said we’d be seeing a ton of him on the field. Season came. Crickets.

I think he leaves.

 

[Weezer]

I blame ESPN for what college football fandom has become. It's win every game or you're "mid". Meanwhile, the entire landscape is constantly changing and these half-assed "fans", who couldn't tell you who Casey Clausen is, started popping up around 2022 and began demanding the world of Heupel. The guy has done an incredible job of providing stability to one of the most unstable football programs of all time. Even more impressively is doing it while dealing with super harsh NCAA sanctions (if you want to argue with me about it, I got the list ready to go), and in a sport where the rules change literally every year. Navigating all of this and still producing on the field has been nothing short of incredible.

If you still aren't impressed by what Heupel has accomplished here while navigating new obstacles every year... just ask yourself...

How is two-time national champion, Dabo Swinney handling it?

How about one of the greatest recruiters of all time, Mario Cristobal? How's he doing?

What about Steve Sarkesian and his $40 million roster? How's he doing?

What about 6 time Super Bowl champion, bill belichick? Is he handling the changes well?

Heupel has had a lot more obstacles to overcome than all of these guys, but I bet in a head to head, Heupel's team could find a way to beat all of them

Most unstable football programs of all time?? Just how far back does your fanhood go, because I remember Tennessee history quite differently. This program didn't de-stabilize until Kiffin bailed in the middle of the night.

Which would suck. What's the point of winning recruiting battles if we can't keep them in the fold? We need to be developing these kids for the future.

Dude is a massive talent Would be very dissapointing.

 

[SpringBokVol]

Hindsight- would have gladly kept him over boo

 

[Weezer]

And he want fire anyone.

That's the fear. BUT, if he is unable to make necessary changes to help this team win, that answers the "is he the guy" question?

 

[Heupel's Offseason Beard]

Man, if only tampering had literally any consequences

We know it doesn't, so let's hope our coaches can tamper well enough to get us some good portal guys.

They tried with Carnell Tate. Maybe need to tamper more realistic options

 

[Type Orange+]

I think Jakobe was the biggest surprise for me to hit the portal.
We sure could've used that kid this year.

 

[Heupel's Offseason Beard]

We know it doesn't, so let's hope our coaches can tamper well enough to get us some good portal guys.

All I can say is donate donate donate. Call your rich uncle who owns a gravel company and tell them Tennessee needs NIL.
