It seems to me him and Kiffin should be very close in any ranking. Not sure how outlets keep justifying having guys like Stoops and Drink in front of him if Kiffin is way out in front of them

That and how do you rank 2 coaches ahead of him that he has a winning record against?

It's a recency bias in the case of Drinkwitz. Not only does Heupel have a winning record over Drinkwitz .... His wins were 62-24 in Columbia and 66-24, but just because Missouri was better last season ....

There is no reason for Stoops to be ahead, though. Heupel is 3-0 and 2 of those games were in Lexington. The game in Knoxville was a blowout. That is just plain bias.

Tennessee does seem to get short shrift in these off-season, subjective opinion lists.

I am so tired of the disrespect for Heupel. Maybe after he wins a Natty or two

It's every one of these damn sportswriter opinion rankings. It has gotten old.

 

[BoroVol93]

lol another off season click bait article that will have 0 effect on wins and losses this year… rankings have 0 merit with stoops and drink over heup though that’s just silly I’d take heup over any coach over that list for coming in at a time we was at our lowest and turning us into a legit playoff contender in short order… I’m not sure there is a coach in the nation that could’ve had this much success so soon… go Vols

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

This is laughable. We continue to get almost no respect in many aspects of our program.

Drink is a clown. He took advantage of a weak schedule.

I would get worked up, but it is hard to take these guys seriously when they put out rankings like this.

Stoops has been “a great coach at a lousy program” for a decade. You would think at some point the storyline would have to change.

 

[US2BVOL]

Heck Hendon Hooker didn’t get invited to NYC. Remember ESPN hates us you can see it at every turn

 

[LittleVol]

He’s 3-0 vs Mark Stoops yet they have Mark ahead of him.

That makes no sense.

 

[VOLociraptorr]

Forneli's list of good beverages to drink

1. Water
2. Milk
3. Lead paint
4. Gatorade

Recency bias will tell you lead is bad but I'm here to tell you it was once considered revolutionary

Idiot-and he has a stupid voice. Probably gargles gravel by the sound of his voice

Exactly. Thanks to y'all who took the time to read this drivel. Volunteer fans KNOW about CJH. The sports "writers" can kick rocks.

[VolRage]

Personally I don’t care where they rank our coach. I like that he’s the underdog; under appreciated by the sports media. It’s just that much sweeter when the our Vols / coach beat the supposed better school / coach.

 

[first time caller]

Hmm..shocked he beat out Shane Beamer. (Blue font for those who are color blind)

I'm an orange glasses wearing, glass half full, 100% Tennessee homer, but honestly I don't know if I'd trade Coach Heupe for anyone else in the college game. I really like where we are right now as a football program.........

 

[knoxvol52]

Just another click bait article ranking of coaches to see how many fans will get pissed off.

 

[AllThingsTN]

Mark Stoops? The same Mark Stoops that Texas A&M fans Schiano’d?

 

[Orange-U-Glad]

I simply don’t get the Stoops love. He has been at KY long enough to have produced a top team if he were a good coach. They’re not ranked in anyone top 25, yet TN is. The guy at Kansas has made them competitive in two years, and they were a historically bad program. Stoops’ teams start off great until they face real competition.

Bulletin board material.

...waiting for it.

 

[zeppelin128]

We have a large, very vocal online fanbase. Just look at Vol Twitter.

These sports writers play us like a fiddle every year. We give them engagement and clicks. Nothing more than that. Cynical, but that's just how it is.

 

[BruisedOrange]

I wonder what he was ranked before he came to Tennessee? Surely his UCF accomplishments received some notice.
