I'm not going to be weird and hang out on your board but I'll clear up why Heupel left Oklahoma.


Heupel and Stoops had different visions for what they wanted the offense to evolve into for the future. Coach Stoops wanted to incorporate power run into the spread. Huepel basically said that's not the offense I run or the one you hired me to run. This resulted in Huepel never getting full control of the offense from Stoops and some bad vibes started to form as the offense, while productive, hit a wall.

Then comes coach Stoops shiny new toy Lincoln Riley who ran the offense Stoops wanted for the future.

Heupel was eventually pushed out and its reported he was fired over the phone. Which you can all imagine he didnt appreciate.

And that's it. He immediately went on to coach offense for other schools until the head coaching gigs came along and now he's with you guys.

It's not an interesting story but it's the background you all didnt have on him. He didnt fail at Oklahoma. Oklahoma and Heupel just grew apart.

Heupel revitalized the Tigers with a spread attack led by quarterback Drew Lock, who led the nation and set school and SEC records with 43 touchdown passes. In 2015, the Tigers finished 125th in the nation in total offense. in 2016, the Tigers were 7th.

First, Stoops did not fire Venables. When Bob brought his brother back as co-DC with Brent after Mike was fired at Arizona, Brent was not happy and the rest is history. Josh was part of a house cleaning by Stoops after the 2014 season. For whatever his reasons he let several coaches go. Frankly, I am surprised you guys hired Josh. The HC of a program like Tennessee needs to have a certain Charisma about him. Josh is anything but charismatic.

Just received an e-mail from a good friend that lives in Oklahoma and graduated from their law school. He sent congratulations on UT hiring Coach Heupel and spoke very highly of him as a person, former Oklahoma QB on a national championship under Stoops and as an assistant coach at Oklahoma for several years under Stoops. He personally saw Heupel play and coach for his years with Oklahoma stating that UT had made a great hire with him.

He was a good QB coach his first three years. Then he became co-OC for several years and OU went nowhere. He didn’t do squat as an OC. He’s a legend for what he did as a player. But as a coach he was abysmal at best. Your friend is definitely in the minority thinking he was a good coach.

No, went 4-8 and 7-6. His offense scored 31 ppg first year, 37 ppg second year with Lock. He is going to light up the scoreboard, scored 50+ 4x against the cupcakes year two.

I LOVE these comparisons. Wasn't Pruitt a defensive genius at Alabubba? How many points did we give up under him as HC? What is the relevance of what he did as OC? He ain't the OC anymore.
