Josh Heupel's career reboot

After Josh Heupel was fired at Oklahoma, he ended up back in Utah as Matt Wells' OC at Utah State. There, he rebooted his career and charted a new course that led him to Tennessee.

I spent last week talking to people around Heupel at Utah State about that formative year

“He does a nice job of simplifying a complicated game,” Wells said. “He tries to get quarterbacks’ eyes in the right direction, simplify their thinking and being very repetitive in terms of thinking, route progressions, reads and keys and what they need to know for each play.”

The downside is that it is also very simple to defend when the opposition has athletes that match up well in the secondary and it is problematic against teams that are proficient at running nickel and dime packages........the very high tempo is not complimentary and wears out your defense and results in many second half blown leads

We all know it's going to take time, maybe 3 or 4 years with the NCAA hit we're going to take , for HCJH to recruit exactly the right kinds of players he's going to need for serious success in the SEC.

I'm looking forward to seeing how he sets up different things on our O to take advantage of the much better D players he'll have to face year in and year out, game after game, to make our O still dangerous and productive.

I expect over the next couple of years we're going to see some interesting twists and wiggles and 1/2 time adjustments that are going to be fun to watch.

I also won't be surprised if he attempts to get Coach Osovet back here to work with him and our O staff.

VFL...GBO!!!
