Heupel coaching our kids from 1994-1998. He would’ve had the greatest QB that will ever set foot on campus with about 100 NFL draft picks at every position. Imagine the scoreboard: they’d have to replace the fuses at halftime. All those disgusting pathetic conservative scared play calls…all those awful punts and FGs on 4th and short and in the red zone. So many games lost to inferior teams. We might’ve set records that would never have been broKen. Peyton….Jamal…Peerless…Travis…Clifton…Al… Leonard….good lord. I can’t help but dream.

Or instead of Dooley. Give him Bray, Hunter, C Patterson, etc. then Kamara, Jennings, Dobbs etc. I think we have a coach now and it’s exciting. Once we get some more pieces on D, sky’s the limit.

I had similar thoughts earlier this week except was thinking in terms of more years. We had a good record for many years because we had the best player talent in the country but if Heupel had been the coach the record would have been even better.

Yep…we won games because we had superior athletes. Fulmer never, I mean never, outcoached anyone but was routinely outcoached himself. So many lost games. It still kills me all these years later.

Had we hired a guy like Heupel with that offense right after Fulmer we would easily be one the best teams in the country over the last 10 years. No telling what he would have done starting with Tajh Boyd yes he would have been a Vol.

It's a new era. Time for this program to move forward. With all of the recruits at the game, the atmosphere, the intensity of the game....I'm certain they were impressed. My guess is in 3 to 5 years, that team will be setting new records.

I'm sure those offenses would have been fun with Huepel, but those offenses were coached by arguably the greatest OC in SEC history in David Cutcliffe(gets iffy if you wanna count head coaches in to that list as well, where a guy like Spurrier would probably have the best argument, but you get my point). They weren't missing out on innovative playcalling.

You go back, as I have, and count the horrific mathematically terrible and incorrect punts on 4th and short. Count the horrifically bad FGs in the red zone. Strategically we were awful and it’s not arguable. It’s not an opinion. It’s a mathematical fact. Its a huge reason we have zero to show for those few years other than critical losses to inferior teams and a couple of Citrus Bowls.

Well that has way more to do with analytics that are now available that Fulmer didn’t have in the 90’s.

Fulmer is a overrated coach. Not fair to blame him for not being able to have 2022 information in the 90’s.

Teams are certainly infinitely more aggressive on 4th down than they used to be. Analytics were certainly not much of a thing back in the 90s. As much as I love Fulmer's glory years here, that blame probably falls more on him with how conservative he was. Seeing how much we shut down the passing game with Sanders relative to Cutcliffe shows the huge difference IMO. I dunno if Fulmer only trusted Cutcliffe or if Sanders was just super conservative like Fulmer too.

Missing what could have been makes looking forward to what could be even sweeter.

CJH could be something special. I can’t wait to see what he can do (hopefully one of those things is get the D fixed).

The information and mathematical spread sheets were available then. He wouldn’t have used them regardless.

I played poker for a living from 2001 to 2009. I’m NOT trying blow my horn but rather explain why my situation is pertinent to this conversation. In 2001 there were zero current no limit hold ‘em poker books. No no limit poker solvers. I developed a winning strategy based on combinations, probabilities and game theory without ANY software nor solvers. It can be done and should’ve been done with football in the 90’s.

Not sure he would have been ready.
