Let’s appreciate what we have with Josh Heupel

And I do agree with what the thought that some who proclaimed him a bad hire would rather be right even if that means the team they "supposedly" support loses a lot of games.

Not sure if Heup will ever win a natty but he’s the best coach UT has had since Fulmer, 42-16 thru 58 games. He’s been consistent and stable and Tennessee was in dire need of that after Dooley , Butch and Pruitt. Heupel has exceeded mine and im pretty sure everyones expectations since he became coach in 2021. Heupel walked into a dumpster fire and has made us a relevant program again while programs like Auburn and Florida are still in the dumpster trying to get out. i think sometimes cause im a kinda spoiled and entitled fan that i don’t stop and appreciate the great job that Josh has done here in 4 and a half seasons.

You'd be surprised. There are MANY on here that just don't like Josh Heupel for some reason. Some don't like him because his offense is "gimmicky", some don't like him because he isn't a mouthy coach like Kiffin and is a little awkward in front of the camera, some don't like him because they expect coaches to come into an absolute dumpster fire of a program and immediately recruit top 3 classes, and most are just ungrateful/ drank themselves into forgetting the last 15 years.

These people are just plain lacking in any common sense. Auburn won a natty since us and look at the shape they are in. Cue USC, UCLA, Florida, FSU, PSU, my god Nebraska ...

I like coach Heupel. I don't like his coach speak and I don't like that he never gets on their rear end when they need it. I think he is a good coach.

How do you know he never gets on their rear end? Does it matter? I never responded well to chewing out. I responded very well to encouragement and constructive correction. You have to read the player.

Did you just define the Legions of the Miserable?

The part of these discussions that gets tired is the assumed black and white nature of the feelings towards Coach Heupel. There are some that think what Heupel has done is miraculous and therefore he should not be criticized and others who think he's awful. I'd say both of these camps are wrong. I think where many of the fans are at is recognition and appreciation for what Heupel has done - taken our program from irrelevance to relevance - and hoping that he can get over the hump from good to great and compete for national titles. He's earned the right to have some additional time to get there but I don't think a fanbase has to apologize for having high expectations - Tennessee has all of the resources needed to compete at the highest level.

I think some may be protective of Heupel because the legions of the miserable and the morons that were running the program for the 15 years prior had made my life miserable as a Vol fan. The program is on an upward trajectory, a playoff spot is there for the taking, and I no longer “hope” for a win, we no longer take back seat to nobody.

I do appreciate it...everyday, especially on Saturdays. He and Danny White have done great things. But I am NOT naive enough to believe it's sustainable. History has shown it is not, year in and year out. Ride the wave, just know that wave will hit the beach and be no more. TN rode Fulmer past his shelf life - and paid dearly for it, albeit unintentionally. And it paid many more dues it didn't want to. Are we willing to go decades between feast or famine?

Because I've been to games and watched them. You ever seen him light a player up?
