ESPN's Chris Low reporting it's done

[volbound1700]

Why didn't we hire Jeff Fisher lol? At least shake things up.

 

[Rickyvol77]

How is he better

a .78% winning percentage? beat several good coaches including owning Kiffin twice? great offensive mind and QB coach? been to a major bowl game and almost beat LSU there?

 

[peaygolf]

Didn't he get fired as OC from Oklahoma, his Alma mater

Yep..........along with 90% of all coaches. Jezz.

 

[A.J.]

Hopefully he gets things turned around and us back in contention with time. He has my full support. I just wish I could have all the time back I spent on here looking for breaking news of who our big hire was gonna be if this was gonna be the end result. lol

I thought Chris had himself in the Franklin or Elliot boat.

How is it possible they hire a coach worse than Jeremy Pruitt?

UT gonna UT

You've went from salty to bonkers with that statement. Pruitt is the worst coach in UT history without question.

Chris, Jimmy, and all the rest of them just spin webs out of the bread crumbs they're thrown. Just depends on who types faster when it comes to stuff like this.

Wouldn't we have been better off with Chadwell, Kiffin, or Freeze?

 

[TheDeeble]

So far it looks like UCF fans are happy to see him go.

 

[Border Vol]

According to 990 The Sports Animal Josh Heupel's contract will be for 6 years.

A great sign!

No!

UT gonna UT

He's not a Bammer, so he's better than Pruitt on that alone.

UT gonna UT

His record definitely isn't worse

Insane.

 

[MaTaLa]

Could it be possible DW just underestimated the amount of dysfunction, and subsequent reputation, that UT football seems to have and this was his DEFCON 1 backup plan?

A 6 year contract? So we learned nothing.

 

[Border Vol]

Josh Heupel is getting 4 million.

Sounds like Fulmer helped negotiate that contract. We will never ever learn from mistakes.

Yeah I don't see it. He got himself run out of Oklahoma according to some of their fans. He then made a pit stop at Missouri before taking over a stacked roster at UCF, where they've progressively gotten worse since he arrived. Then his buddy offers him the big bucks. I hope he does well for the sheer fact that I love Tennessee. But I'm pretty sure we've been had once again.

Oklahoma averaged 37ppg when he got fired. Their defense was awful. Stoops brother coached D though so Huepel was the sacrifice.

His pitstop at Missouri saw they put up 118 points vs Tennessee, Florida and Georgia while his QB threw for 3500 yards and 44tds.

Please, name some guys on his "stacked" roster at UCF. Frost recruited one full class there. I think it was ranked 55th or so. UCF has never signed a top 50 class in school history. Frost's 13-0 team that was mostly recruited by others, had 6 players go to the NFL, but 5 of those 6 left after the 13-0 season.

Your credibility disappeared with “ according to some of the fans”

I’m just sad that this coaching search didn’t bring MITBEAVER out of the woodworks.

It did for a bit in the recruiting forum

 

[VolArmy74]

Because at least Pruitt had a proven track record against top competition. This slug can't maintain his program in the AAC but he puts up big offensive numbers against sisters of the poor. You guys need to wake up. You aren't ready for what this program is about to become under this clown.

How the heck did Pruitt have a proven track record?
