Yep. D White needs to have a conversation with him about several items. This sloppy game mgmt and drive killing play calls along with the defense has become chronic .
It’s a general lack of discipline and accountability. Heupel will fire himself if he doesn’t address and improve the on field performance AND OC, DC, and other staff!At some all great coaches evolve. Heupel has the potential to be very good if he can realize where he needs to address his main issues. He has to do better at clock management. Find somebody that is good at it to be in his ear. Just like a spotter for nascar. In the age of communication these things must improve. Quit playing scared and get the simpleton mistakes fixed. Nobody wants to hear we got to clean it up. Get it fixed. GBO! No excuse to have multiple pre snap penalties every game. GBO
The biggest difference i see living in Pennsylvania is Franklin wasn't very popular here. My PSU friends would often say they had no idea how he got recruits, given his personality. They appreciated that he ran a clean program, won a lot of games and was liked, not loved, by the players. But, he was always just meh for most of the fans. They aren't crying that he's gone.I’m just gonna say it — Josh Heupel is turning into Tennessee’s version of James Franklin. Yeah, he wins games, puts up points, and has us looking way better than we were a few years ago… but he still can’t win the big ones. Every time we get a shot to take that next step, we fall flat.
At some point, being “better than before” isn’t enough. We need a coach who can close the deal when it matters most.
Nobody is going to push Danny White out. He is a great AD, that would be moronic. GBOIt’s a general lack of discipline and accountability. Heupel will fire himself if he doesn’t address and improve the on field performance AND OC, DC, and other staff!
I am grateful for his efforts so far in restoring us to prominence, but this is big biz and he’s getting almost $10m A YEAR to coach f’in football!
With the Tony V situation behind scenes also, I could see Randy and Donde in 2-3 years pushing Dr. Danny and Heupel out at same time.
