Something seems off with Heupel

[BigOrangeTrain]

Just watched the press conference and I have seen Heupel at the podium before after a loss. But something seemed different this time. Something seemed strange. Heupel didn’t act like himself. He seemed, I don’t know, distant maybe. I wonder if something has happened behind closed doors. Maybe I am just reading it wrong.

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

Maybe hes finally realized you cant average 40 on offense and win with no defense. But I doubt it.

 

[Skooter]

He just got his ass kicked by a Vandy team who said they were going to kick our ass on national tv in Neyland. Probably embarrassed. Should be.

I got a feeling also I don’t know why, just when players don’t play for a coach and it seemed like it tonight on senior day something is up.. I mentioned in another thread about when other teams don’t get their coach what is gonna happen when Heup is a candidate

Doesn't matter. Baseball season starts in 75-80 days. We are a baseball school now.

Yeah I get that but I think it’s something else. Who knows?

 

[IUGradVol]

He probably knows he has tough decisions to make this offseason. Just a wild guess.

Yep. You had a loud mouthed quarterback who back in July said he was going to run tennessee this year, and he did just that. Whats to say?

Tony V is gone.

He saw his team quit for the first time in 5 years...

Personally, I like watching volleyball.

Could be

If he wants to save his job absolutely. If he wants to ride or die with his current staff then he’s probably not coaching here in 2028.

Maybe that’s it

Basketball team has the potential to go far in the tournament. Men and women

Quite possibly this too.

Firing people is tough but as a coach if you don't do what needs to be done then it is you getting fired.

 

[vols 30]

I didn't watch the pressser. Couldn't stomach the same old coach speak.

Did he say anything worthwhile?

They quit in the fourth quarter against OU and they quit last year in Athens and Columbus. They also quit in Columbia in 2022 and in Gainesville the following year.

3 years

South Carolina in 2022 was far worse than this

Potential playoff berth on the line and we turned in that performance?

This was just a bad game.

That one was mind boggling.

 

[hardyemt_p]

Yeah I get that but I think it’s something else. Who knows?

Might have realized he has 2 bellies and only 1 Johnson. It could be difficult to just learn that.

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

I really want to believe this, but know its not true.

 

[HeuperDrive]

Dude is probably pissed and realizing he just got out coached and outclassed.

I’ve defended him a lot, but it’s time he felt that way.

Man that would be great if that were what it was.
