Haven't seen it in a clip yet, but several people have told me that the first guy to run over and hug coach was one Danny White...speaks volumes about trust, mentorship, and building a winning program.
Thanks for sharing that! CBS cut away immediately after the clock hit zero
Heupel is Charlie and he has won the Chocolate Factory.
I think he loves it here. For a competitor who loves the game, this must feel like heaven to him.
How a recruit could be part of that and not sign immediately is beyond me
I love the fact that players, coaches and randoms come up and hug Heupel so effortlessly! Shows you that he is in tune with them and there are relationships there!
Swaying to the Tennessee Waltz after games is an underrated Vol Tradition. You never hear much about it…maybe because we have so many great traditions. But it’s a great one.
Man, that was awesome. Also, Princeton Fant is built like a professional wrestler! I’ll admit, I wasn’t his biggest fan after that turnover, but seeing how big he is up close, I think I’ll keep any criticism to myself.
Encouraged to see all his players coming up to hug the guy....these arent guys he hasnt seen in a year or 2, nor are they his wife and kids...but they really are his FAMILY. Anybody who has played on football teams or other sports etc knows there are everyday hardships man. Sometimes guys need love, sometimes they need "tough love", and sometimes they need a foot in their arse. A young man will take ANY and ALL of the above if they KNOW that it comes from a place of love and respect...from someone who truly cares about them and their well-being. These dudes love Coach and a blind man could see it.
