given the fact that Huepel tried to pay Leavitt 7 mil for one season says he doesn't think much of GMac either. I think they were 3a and 3b on the depth chart. we really didn't have a #2 QB last year.
Apparently Heupel wasn't the only one who thought Merklinger doesn't measure up. this has to be one of the worst transfers going from an SEC school to Uconn.

If Tennessee is willing to spend $7 mil on a kid with serious injury concern, let that just show all of you what Huepel really thinks about George MacIntyre's ability to step up next year.
that's a damning message if in fact it's true.
you know for a FACT this isn't how Tennessee's luck works. Kiffin is going to come to Knoxville and drop 50 on us with his shiny new QB.
Get your mustard bottles ready.
if he drops 6 games he makes a bowl I do not think he loses his job over that after completely rebuilding the defensive staff.
will people be pissed? sure. but people are pissed when we lose 3 games and miss the playoff or lose 4 games and lose to Vandy.
he's definitely coaching for his job but he will have a built in excuse next year. "the defense is being rebuilt". unless Heupel pulls a Butch Jones and loses all his SEC games, there's no way he gets fired next year and half of me believes even if he did lose all his SEC games he still wouldn't...
Heupel knows that by firing his DC and having him fall on th sword that it bought Heupel another year to have terrible record and get a free pass. Heupel isn't worried about what happens next year. prepare for 5 or 6 losses. Tennessee is "rebuilding" yet again. like we always seem to be
heupel really screwed the pooch with this botch. not only did we miss out on Leavitt but we missed Sorsby, Lagway and Raiola.
there's no way I would bother with the kid from Missouri. if we don't have a better option than him on the team, then we are triple screwed next season.
I don't think this will be the norm going forward. once you get rid of all the players that started playing in 2020 there will be no more "free" covid year. it will go back to being 5 years of eligibility if you're a redshirt senior.
