So the guy who hired himself as an SEC expert (he founded SEC Unfiltered) has a juicy nugget with no source. And even then the actual rumor is that Heupel would listen to someone if they asked, which I'm pretty sure isn't a surprise. He doesn't link Heupel with the LSU job even in a rumor, he just speculates that if Heupel is open to calls LSU would be an opportunity.

There are opportunities that will come for Heupel, but as for this rumor, there's no "there" there. Just a dude with a show to sell writing a story from his own speculation.

Maybe, maybe not. He was correct about the Napier losing his job, Brian Kelly, and LSU attempting to void buyout clause. The article summarizes part of the interview.

To say UT is not a year in and year out contender for the playoffs may change. They would have been under Fulmer. And I have no reason to believe we can’t be under Heupel, especially when they expand to 16 games. We are a FG away from being in contention right now.

No chance. He's not leaving a stable situation with Danny White as AD for the s@#$show in Baton Rouge.

But in the extremely unlikely chance he did, we should have Golesh as #1 on our list.

I think Golesh is waiting for this. He’s doing very well at USF, has great support, and new stadium under construction so he probably wants to open it, unless there’s an AD fallout like TV…..

I think Heupel would go Pro before making a lateral move unless fired.

I’m @ lunch listening to 104.5 zone as they interview Chris Phillips and the LSU job. He said there are rumors that Heup is on the LSU list and LSU is on Heup’s short list of other college jobs.

He then stated TN fans don’t give Heup the credit he deserves, instead complaining about not making playoffs. And, TN is not a perennial playoff team yet a 3-4 loss team.

When asked he said TN is not a top six destination for head coaches. He said we would fall in top half. He also said he wouldn’t include Florida and unsure about aTm.

Surely Heup won’t get an offer but he was correct about Napier and Kelley, too, losing his job and the fact LSU trying to find just cause. He said Heup would listen to LSU.

I don’t see it but I am blinded by orange glasses- esp. when he said LSU is top six job - not TN.

Ohio state, Bama, UGA, LSU, Texas, USC, Oregon, and I think Notre Dame were his top coaching destinations.

Thoughts?


Edit- I listened to the interview again. Phillips said he’s heard Heup would entertain leaving TN and definitely listen to LSU. Plus, LSU admin is confident Heup would leave TN for LSU if offered the job. The outside noise by the minority of our fan base is annoying as apparently Heup hears the 💩. Could you imagine him leaving for LSU and taking Brandon Faizon w/ him?

All made up.
