If we lose to Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Vandy and Oklahoma all in this season then I think you do have to talk about Coach being on the hot seat.

If we finish 7-5 or 8-4 with Aguilar and no significant playing time for Merklinger or Gmac, Heupel's seat will be warm going into next year, but not hot.

We have a somewhat favorable schedule next year. We go on the road to South Carolina, Vandy, Texas A&M, and Arkansas. Not terrible.

What he does in the offseason will tell whether he is a serious coach or not. It will tell whether the administration is serious about competing at the highest level. No changes, they will be content with the status quo as long as people keep ponying up their hard earned money

Gotta acquire a lot of defensive talent from the portal. There should be plenty to choose from with all the coaching changes

You can’t lose to Vandy ever. And this is a now or never type feel for winning in the swamp. I promise if we go 9-3 people will feel just fine about the program. Especially if you cap it with a 10th win in the bowl game.

I wish I had your optimism.

10-3 is like a tie game. Who cares about bowl games. It’s CFP or down the drain in this era of football. Hot seat is the best place a coach could be. He’s just closer to earning some serious cash for getting fired. Guaranteed contracts need to end.

Tennessee has only won 10 games or more 21 times...it still matters. The Vols going to the Citrus bowl and beating Michigan or USC or Illinois would be a great end

For some of us, he’s already on the hot seat. Just ain’t the guy, in my opinion. I’m done with him and wish him the best.

We can’t beat anyone at home now ? Good teams and coaches protect home turf.

Can’t wait to play in the Taxslayer Bowl again against a mid Big Ten team that everyone will soil themselves over as some big accomplishment into the offseason.

Be honest, we were probably a tax slayer bowl team last year that benefited from an easy schedule. The trip to Ohio st proved it.

You'd definitely be in "a coordinator has to take the fall" territory.

Heupel needs to make a decision on playcalling and continue to run it or hire an OC with some actual experience and had it off.

There are plenty of DC’s likely going to be free agents this offseason. The only assistant I think that should be untouchable is RG.

Tim Banks is well regarded for HC jobs so it would be nice he got hired away to a G5 school. I don’t want Banks fired but there is gonna be a few guys who are free agents that would present an upgrade. Heupel has to be able to see that.
