Heupel's Playing Career

[unfrozencvmanvol]

I am hopeful that Heupel's successful college career will be a recruiting advantage for him. Having done some professional recruiting (not football) in the past, I always found identifying common experiences was very helpful in establishing a relationship and that was aided considerably when you have done the job you are recruiting for and done it well. I think that is something that has probably helped some guys like Kirby Smart who were good players themselves in the past, recruit. Heupel, being a national championship winning quarterback has that sort of credibility in spades.

Good point!

We shall see. We did just see what happens when your playing career is terrible and you get owned by Tennessee the entire time then try to be a head coach of the team that kicked your ass during the years you still had hair on your head.

JH comes from the Stoops coaching tree.
Riley, Leach, Sumlin, Mangino of offense. Not a big list but all can put up offensive numbers and do it early. Leach 1st game in the SEC 623 yards vs LSU

He’s going to put up numbers......it’s gonna be fun to watch!!!!!!

Wins may be hard, but entertaining

He was ahead of Tom Brady.

That O tree started with Hal Mumme. Stoops struggled defending Kentucky while at Florida; hence, Leach brought to OU in 1999 and Leach found Josh at Snow JC.

Most of today’s players don’t know who he was. I vaguely remember his name. Now if he had won the Heisman it would be a different story.

Yeah but in building relationships with players he can tell them "hey, I was starting quarterback at Oklahoma on a national championship team" they can Google it and see real quick that he ain't lying. That would lend him some relatability and credibility with players that people like band nerd Butch or scout team Pruitt would never possess.

I take the Kevin Nealon role here.

WINNER

that's the bottom line on his player and coaching curriculum vitae

They usually give NC winners a very large ring, which could be a conversation starter.

Didn’t know OU Heupel was on a NC team. That changes things.

Abingtonvolfan,That being the case,let's fire Josh and bring back Weinke.

Remember that when you hear people clamoring for Manning.

 

[southpaw75]

Weinke beat JH out for the heisman, so there’s that.

Weinke beat JH out for the heisman, so there’s that.

And then Heupel beat Weinke for the natty. Shows yet again what the Hypesman is actually worth.

I hope we aren't competing to recruit the same players as Arky St.
