They couldn't call it the General Neyland award. No one would ever be worthy of it.

Congrats, CJH.

according to some of our fanbase, we went conservative and he forgot how to coach. maybe something wrong with the orange colored shades from time to time i guess

He went conservative because he knows how to coach.

We did go conservative. But it was the right call. I’ll admit while sitting on my couch watching the game I was frustrated and couldn’t understand why. But when the game was over and I could think clearly, I realized Heupel knew the game was in hand, didn’t want risk anymore injuries on that crap field, and knew our defense would keep the game in check.

It was the right call and I just couldn’t see it till later

Better than the Jerry Sandusky Award..

If you look at it down through the years, we really haven't been treated to much in the brains category. Even old Fulmer would show up in the Swamp with the more talented team, and Spurrier would coach circles around us. Mix in emotional Lane, disorganized Dooley, 5-star heart Jones, and Cornbread Pruitt, and we just ain't used to someone like Heupel, using common sense, and taking advantage of his advantages, to win a game.

Yes. It comes with a gallon of bourbon.

Someday they might present the Bear Bryant awardee with the Nick Saban Trophy, wouldn't that be some ish!!!

Agree given the humanoid Ursus americanus admitted he was a Neyland pupil.

That's a classic. JH with Maurice White's haircut and EWF suit.

No point in putting on film things that other teams can study if you don't need to and UT didn't need to. Josh has grown a lot as a coach and just keeps getting better.

This is awesome! Can I like this more than once?

Maurice White: Earth, Wind & Fire. Fastastic!

Actually per Bear Bryant he considered himself to be from the General Neyland coaching tree.

Yep. Aging myself, but I had more than one Earth, Wind & Fire cassette in my high school days. I don't remember ever owning any Earth, Wind & Fire 8-tracks though.

We got to see them recently in TBA with Lionel Richie. They can still kill it.
