Agree 100%! Walked into/upon a train wreck, never whined or made excuses, and treated this trying year like another day at the office. Turning the corner will attract talent - kids wanting to be part of this trajectory. Getting some depth and confidence will do wonders for this program!If you would’ve told me we might end up 7-5 in Heupel’s first year with 71 schollys and a handful of walk ons, I might have thrown a haymaker at you for trying to troll me, but here we are. And if we do finish 7-5, it will be absolutely criminal if Heupel doesn’t get SEC Coach of the Year.
Ky was out coached by a 1st year SEC coach and a team that saw 26 teammates leave, damn good coaching if you ask me.Imagine a couple of plays against OleMiss and Pitt. Be setting at 7-2? Incredible effort - we were playing several guys that haven’t played all year. Imagine how helpful Ty Chandler would have been tonight (over 200 yards tonight against undefeated Wake Forrest #9) when our first two backs were gone.
Just an incredible effort and incredible coaching. Hope we can get some more players in next year and beyond!
Go Vols!
