Florida and UT will probably both be looking for new coaches next year.

No, Tennessee will not. While I take exception with some things with Heupel, he should and will get at least five years. We lost a ton of talent off last years team, not easily replaceable from where Hype started. Had a nice recruiting class last year and this one looks good as well. Gotta give the man some time and Danny White knows this.

Looking for Danny Boy to abandon ship in the offseason. A new AD will make it a lot easier to get rid of Heupel, if he underperforms again next season and I will get my shiny new coaching search.

Danny boy isn’t going anywhere. He just got a nice, new contract extension this year. I think we’re going to be fine. It took Johnny Majors a good while to right the ship. We should exercise a little more patience. Hype showed us last year what he can do with all the right pieces in place. We lost a lot of those pieces at the end of last season.

Florida is competing with Mizzou way better than we did

Florida is full of young kids more than UT and I bet Florida makes it back to national relevance faster than UT.

Dude you seriously need to just log off. I've never seen a bunch of supposed grown men cry so much. Smdh

I don’t get this logic. Changing coaches every 2-3 years cheapens your brand and is awful for stability. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again—even if Heupel isn’t “the guy” he’s good enough to give us some stability until that person comes along. But I feel like we need to give Heupel some time and he’s earned some patience.

He’s not Pruitt, jones or Dooley. I mean, during the Dooley years could you imagine 8-9 wins being our “basement” for a given year?

Butch got 1 year too many and left the team in bad shape. Heupel will get a 4th year to prove he is the guy, but if he stubbs up and don't make the neccesary coaching changes, I'm looking for next season to be a disaster.

Problem is, there are only maybe three programs in the country that can recruit at a super-high level every year and thus have a very good chance
of having the talent "pieces in place" every year. We're not going to have the pieces in place every year--unless Heup proves a wizard at recruiting the portal, and he hasn't shown that quality, overall, yet--though Hooker did come from the portal. So then the challenge becomes, how good can you be when you don't have the great talent in place--can you win games that maybe you wouldn't be expected to win. That's what separates the great coaches from the mere good or decent coaches--and that's how you can build real momentum in a program. But it's doubly hard for us--harder than it is for any other upper-second tier program in a strong conference--because we're playing florida, alabama and georgia every year. Nobody has to face a gauntlet like that--not to mention all the other SEC teams we play every year. So it's not going to be easy--and working the portal to fill talent holes is really something Heup has to be good at, along with everything else.

With the way this team is laying down, it is ill advised to assume another win.

I suppose. But if we don’t beat Vanderbilt I’ll be calling for Heupel’s head lol. They are truly awful.

and we better beat them. That will be my oldest sons first live game.

That’s changing with the divisions going away. Won’t see GA and FLA every year.

Buzzcut Billy is a goofy SOB but he’s got his kids “playing at a high level” and they look like they will take down Mizzou.
