OK, guys. There has been and will be much speculation on what Heupel will do. And I am know most threads have already hashed out what happens if he leaves.

But this is a 50-50 proposition. He stays or he goes. What do we do if he stays? If he does, and you appreciate him choosing Tennessee over his alma mater? Folks, that is huge. In today's age of multiple coaches being fired or moving on every year, I suggest we go out of our way to show our appreciation. I am sure the students will be painting the rock. And I bet plenty of people will be calling their sports radio station of choice.

I open this to the suggestions of others, but I am going to open with my main two target dates: The Orange and White spring game, and September 3 when the Vols open against Ball State. What kind of very creative ways can we show Josh Heupel, and his entire staff our deep appreciation? I know some of you can get creative. Heck we were pretty good at showing our displeasure when Kiffin left, and when Schiano was signing his MOU. Let show we can do just as well making this cup overflow in the opposite way.

Yeah. This is a fun freak out subject but his buyout is $20 million dollars right now. Nobody is going to pay that much.

I hope not. But regardless of that, a big show of appreciation seems warranted to me. If Oklahoma were to fork over 20 million for him? We are going to have to endure calls for L effin K to be signed. And I don't want to figure out how to send farm animal byproduct gift wrapped to Clay Travis who will certainly say it several times, and therefore richly deserve my generosity.

The show of appreciation is the $20 million buyout for a guy who turned a 13-0 program into a 6-4 program in three seasons.

Two options does not necessarily (and usually doesn’t) equate to two equally likely to occur options. I could get to work today with driving or I could get to work today without driving. Two options. Seeing as I live more than 5 miles from my office, one is significantly more likely to occur than the other. Two options. Not a 50-50 proposition.

Agreed. Heupel leaving or staying is not a 50-50 proposition.

Yeah some people were saying that same thing when Carroll left USC. How the Hell did that turn out? Bud, you need a damn reality check. I gotta assume that Oklahoma may circle the wagons on him within the next 48 hours. And he will accept or stay; 50-50 right now.

Ya know? Just judging from the above responses so far? No wonder we have had a decode plus of misery and instability. If this is the mentality of the majority of the fan base? We kinda deserved it.

Is everyone really this worried that Josh Heupel is leaving for OU? Yes, he had a good first season here and we have some momentum going into next year, but IMO he has not accomplished enough to prove he can compete for championships in the SEC. It is my opinion that if anyone should be worried, it is Kentucky. What Mike Stoops has accomplished there with their (lack of) facilities and tradition is very impressive.

i don't think he's leaving either.

i'm no expert (i just act like one). but i also thought there were issues between stoops and venables and that's why when arizona canned the other stoops brother, he replaced venables as DC. As a lot of yall posted last night in phase 1 of the meltdown, stoops is a big part in the OU hc search and he's the reason why heupel left the program.

some of the clemson sites are melting down:
Multiple Reports Link Brent Venables to Oklahoma Opening

mark stoops seems to be working with the kentucky wildcats dept on getting a new practice field and more money for recruiting. but that ou money can do some talking.

i've read a few things about cristobal, but many people think he's going to hold out until diaz is let go in miami and then he'll go back to the sunshine state.

there aren't many coaches out there right now. Napier was the best candidate available imo and he recently got snatched up.

I read this article and sighed in relief that heupel wasn't even listed as a top 5 candidate:

I prefer the below for my mode of transportation, but as noted above, a little too far for the Little Tikes Cozy Coupe. Thanks for (inadvertently) proving my point that equally distributed possibilities does not equate to equally distributed probabilities. Go Vols and take it easy!

So Mark Stoops has been on the job for 7 years and he is a quality candidate for the Oklahoma job.


But the guy who took over an absolute dumpster fire, lost around 25% of his roster to the portal, morale of the fans and players at an all time low and still went on the road and beat Stoops....he isnt a qualified candidate?

If you were hiring a coach today...you would pick Mark Stoops over Josh Heupel?
