Recruiting Forum Football Talk IX

[jakez4ut]

I don't have any real issues with heupel and I'm definitely am not advocating him leaving or being let go. I understand the shortcomings.

But. He is at an inflection point. By his own hand or not it sounds like there's going to be changes on the staff this year.

Banks is a problem and I don't know that hazle is the answer at OC.

I think this is an important off season as far as what happens with the staff. The defense absolutely has to change. Getting embarrassed at home by vandy in year 5 isn't gonna cut it.

Just wait until he leads LSU into Oxford next season.

After many prayers the LSU coach wants a conference rival to beat him out for a championship. Got it.

Why do we never hear anything like this from our recruits? View attachment 794176

Yeah, because of all those rings Kriffen has. . .

Kiffin gets to play at Ole Miss and at Tennessee next year. Incredible.

Anyone else think Heup is emotionally compromised (irt firing staff) from his own firing at OU as OC?

I think he's certainly sensitive to it. But I think it was wholly different bring that it was his alma mater, and it was a mentor that he had a pre-existing relationship with.

The other side is that maybe it taught him being a head coach requires making tough decisions.

26-21 UCLA after 1st quarter.

Cooper in locker room with twisted ankle.. well Cooper back must've not been horrible as some suggested..

Likely a lost cause - they’ll just reroute to Baton Rouge

Yes. He's going to be more willing to give assistants an opportunity to fix things because he wasn't giving that opportunity (he was also scapegoated when his offense was actually pretty darn good that year).

But I also dont think that means he will never fire someone. In fact we've seen guys move on that weren't cutting it, and I think those were de facto firings but allowed them to save face.

Get ready guys--I heard today that Gruden has been in contact with UT and would crawl to Knoxville if he was given the opportunity to coach here.

Get the popcorn ready

I would imagine the vast majority are following Kiffin. Probably not all.

 

[Memphisvol87]

The vols could clean up with portal and coaching vacancies. Upgrade staff to get over hump and tons of quality players ready to go with our great recruiting class. We could be good if we do this correct

 

[TN-POSSUM]

Tim Banks will be ready.

I don’t think he’s making the decisions.
