“Heupel deserves to be here for atleast 2 more seasons to get things turned around.”

My god , what were your lofty expectations prior to Heupel??

It’s pure lunacy for anyone to think that Heupel’s seat is warm or hot and that we just invested a crap ton in reforming the defensive staff just Heupel to be in a make or break 2026 season for his job.


Heupel is here a minimum of two more seasons before any serous talk about his job status is discussed. Hopefully he gets things turned around over the next 2 years and back to the playoff. Hopefully it’s 2026. But if not, 2027 is gonna be afforded to him to do it.

Outside of some debacle 3-4 win season in 2026, anyone talking about him being on the seat in 2026 is moronic mouth breather.

I watched the hearing and came away thinking that the judge is not very bright. I could barely understand what he was saying because he has a speech impediment. He kept blabbering about, "Well, we don't how much money Joey is missing out on from this year". It was $2 - $4 million, as stated by Joey's lawyer (though any college football fan could tell you that). At one point he said, "I'll let you two take pot-shots at each other". Pretty unprofessional.

He also said, "We can't be handing out these injunctions like popcorn". Heagarty came across like he was more concerned about upsetting the NCAA status quo than Joey missing out on life-changing money that he clearly earned. Gov. Bill Lee was the one who put Heagarty in his position, so I'm pretty unsurprised by his ineptitude.

“We don’t know how much money Joey is missing out on”- is a horrible argument.

Just have Joey submit his tax returns. Black and white. He made x last season and we expect at least that, possibly more based on bonuses

Except that he didn't play in 2019 or 2020. JA's career really started in 2021. He never played a down at the JUCO in San Francisco - was redshirted and the second year was cancelled due to Covid.

You will more than likely be one of the first to complain that CJH did not do enough to keep JA if this season goes south because of the QB play which you have already started doing.

Just admit you want CJH to fail so you can start the fire the coach chants.

And?

He played 5 seasons of Football, He played 2021, 2022 in JUCO, 2023 and 2024 at App St. and 2025 for us. He already used a redshirt in 2019 and he got the Covid year back.

Meanwhile Alabama gets their guy who played in the G League, Ole Miss gets Chambliss back. Our state needs to be pulling in the same direction.

Bediako is no longer on the team after another judge ruled against him, and Chambliss' case is not the same as JA's. Chambliss is arguing for a medical redshirt, he's only played 3 years of college football.

I agree . It’s not fair to the younger kids who have been waiting their turn or the kids still in high school. 5 years is plenty of time for eligibility. You might have a sixth for a legit medical reason.

Fair got fired out the window when these “kids” started making more per year than what most adults will make in their lifetime. Tennessee can be concerned with what’s fair while other teams will be concerned with winning football games.

The judge obviously cared more about his reputation and not coming across as biased. The NCAA lawyer got schooled and had no ground to stand on lmao

Maybe, but the question one asks “is juco tallied against eligibility”? And that question was answered last year in Pavia’s case. Judicial consistency matters…..not impressed by Hagerty’s version of “look at me”.

This was a great ruling. Hopefully this causes the snowball effect of these dumb 25 years old or older guys trying to stick around in college. Joey would be 25 years old at the start of the season.

Anyone crying about this is just upset because it happened to be a Tennessee player.

His age has nothing to do with it. Chris Weinke, Quincy Carter, Brandon Wheeden, Kelly Washington, and many others have played the game at 25+ years of age.

Joey isn't like some of these australian punters who come to the states in their mid 20's to start their 4 years of eligibility.

Joey graduated high school in 2019 and started his college career in San Francisco......

There is literally no actual unbiased person who can make the argument he deserves a "4th" year at FBS level other than "well this player was able to sue to do it"....

Good riddance to this era of players trying to play 6 or 7 years just because they couldn't get their draft grade high enough and their playing career ends when their college career ends.

If Joey didn't play at Tennessee, literally everyone would be cheering this decisions.

Naw, you're wrong again. If Joey didn't play at Tennessee, most on this board would be indifferent.
The board hasn't lit up over the Chambliss ruling. There have been some grumblings, but for the most part Volnation didn't meltdown completely when Pavia and others have been extended. Differing, conflicting opinions, but not the sense of injustice.
Based on the precedent set by similar court cases, Joey was not awarded the same opportunities as his peers with this ruling. It's literally the definition of unfair when the rules and rulings change case by case.
Joey and UT got punked by Judge H's own agenda.

Did someone flame-out playing J.V. ball in high school? Sounds like crying.
Your post comes across as bitter with a hint of jealousy, @JMSqb11
... was it James Madison or Jacksonville MS, based on your encrypted user name, when your 'qb11' days came to a close.

The bed sores from the bench should have healed by now. Get over yourself and admit all the kids should get 4 years of D1 eligibility, not counting developmental JUCO years

He wasn't stealing kids spots riding the bench on a JUCO team in San Fran. Jeez, do your homework

I had to read this multiple times to see if you actually spent time to write that. Check my posting history. I have been VERY VERY ADAMANT that Heupel deserves to be here thru the 2027 season. I was also one of the few that was calling for Heupel to avoid this exact situation (Joey leaving and having to start a QB with no experience in 2026) all last season starting the first week of November.

Heupel deserves to be here for atleast 2 more seasons to get things turned around. You will not catch me one bit calling for his ouster in the 2026 season if were hovering around a 6-6 / 7-5 floor. However, I will be laughing at all of yall complaining about shaky QB play from inexperienced players because everyone said it was outlandish for atleast one of our QB's to get significant reps / snaps in 4 meaningless games in 8 weeks after our season ended with the playoff elimination loss vs Oklahoma.

Heupel 10000% could have prevented this exact situation (going into 2026 with a starting QB with no experience)...... But the notion that I'm someone who's ready to kick the tires on Heupel and get another Tennessee coaching search is just pure delusion and moronic.

And the truth shall reveal itself.
This poster is a "right-fighter".
@JMSqb11 wants the ruling situation to deteriorate, so they can post to all, 'i told you so", regarding their criticism of CJH's QB playtime management.
Done.
Be gone evil spirit!
This room is clear.

How much was this corrupt judge paid???

... Idk, but their agenda seems very self-righteous and self-serving, to say the very least.
The judge seems to have a precluded bias, however was both entertained and made to feel charitable by mildly humoring the opposition, before doling out their dose of moral superiority

Some of you people are so two faced. You can’t stand the Alabama and Mississippi judges because they were bought and are biased.
now when the Tennessee judge does what you believe the Alabama and Mississippi judges should have done, you can’t stand him either.
