As I have said he got us from the dungeon, but he is not a championship coach and proves it over and over

We're not spending enough money to be a championship team. That's the sad state of college football right now. You have to recruit a whole roster of millionaires to insure you get to the top of the mountain now because, as we have seen, some of them just don't work out.

It is very clear that even with teams not that good, when a big game comes around that the VOLS need to win, Heupel alters his persona and strategies to play it safe, not have discipline on the team (thus silly mistakes) and here we will be once again: a bunch of meaningless wins and NO championships. He has done a great job of getting the team out of the dungeon, but seems to lack that "special it" that makes for championship coaches. Time to give him a nice bonus, thank him for his service and send him on his way.

Not even a year old account.

You're a terrible troll.

I’m not there yet. However if he can’t put up a win against UGA next season or their next game they play at Neyland, it will be time for a change. We had a talent parity with UGA on the field and he still did not get it done this season. I’m pulling for him but if he can’t get it done find somebody who can.

Who do you want, go back to Butch or Pruitt or whose your man you're cheering for to coach your big game Vols?

Coach had us in position to win, that's all you can ask for, Gilbert makes that FG 9 out of 10 times and in fact he hit the same FG in OT but it was too late. The game was played basically even UGA had edge on players talent and we had our best DB out and our highest rated O-lineman out plus some other starters out and were in a position to win, player didn't execute his job simple as that but he needs him to keep his head up he will be needed down the road. We beat the vegas line and everyone except a bunch on here think UT is a playoff team after watching that game. We just have some negative nellies.

You obviously didn’t learn anything from Whineman getting raked over the coals.

Hmmm. I remember when people just wanted us to at least be competitive. I'd say we've surpassed being competitive. Now we are asking why can't we get to the next level.....Eventually it will be: Fire the coach because he can't get us a Natty.

Big games:
2021 beat 10-3 Kentucky
Honorable mentions: cheated by refs vs Purdue in bowl and 10-3 Ole Miss
2022 beat 10-2 rival Bama as well as Florida, smoked West winner 10 win LSU, whipped #13 Clemson in bowl
2023 blanked 10 win Iowa in bowl
2024 Beat #13 rival Bama and Florida, beat Vandy to make playoffs.
I mean, for every "big game" he lost that he didnt have to coach the game of his life to overcome a massive talent gap, I'd say there's more that he actually won.

I am just a person that has a different view than you do-perhaps you can tell us what championships he has gotten us close to. He just can't get us over the hump.

There’s a different between CANT get us over the hump vs HASNT gotten us over the hump.

The team is clearly on an upward trajectory, so it is too early to say he CANT. And his pace of rebuild has exceeded all reasonable expectations.

Evidently CJH and co had a great game plan, per UGA player's frustration:

sports.yahoo.com

Quote from Georgia linebacker should make Tennessee Vols fans feel even better about Josh Heupel's offensive play calling

The Tennessee Vols nearly knocked off the Georgia Bulldogs this past Saturday in Neyland Stadium. Tennessee's offense put up 41 points against Georgia -- by far the most points the Vols have scored against the Bulldogs during the Josh Heupel era -- but that wasn't quite enough to take down...

At the end of the day its the Jimmys and the Joes, not the x's and the o's. We're not there, but damn close.

Am I missing something? Was the 2022 Bama game a dream? Or the 24 Bama game? Or that Orange Bowl against Clemson? Or that win in Norman against Oklahoma last September? Were those not "big games"? Or is this one of those new "narrative" things that popped up because we laid an egg in Columbus in the CFP and choked it away last Saturday against the puppy dogs?

Probably won't see Georgia at Neyland again for at least 4 years when amount of conference games change. It won't be as big a deal after this year.
