Poll: Happy with Heupel?

[tennesseeduke]

I feel you. I was really hoping for Kiffin, Freeze, Franklin, or Fleck but was willing to settle for Napier or Chadwell... Heupel wasn't on my radar because his wins total was going the wrong direction. In digging in a little to his 3 regular season losses in 2020 (bowl games mean nothing to me) I convinced myself that he was close to being 10-0 last year and that my tone would be a lot different if that were the case then i saw that his worst offense at UCF averaged 42 ppg and now all of a sudden I see a promising a future lol. We'll see how it goes.

On the not so pretty side of things... his defenses were terrible. Needs to do better there. And since arriving in 2018 he progressively ran the ball less and less. I think getting away from the run may have hurt him in 2020... it'd be interesting to hear what he thinks about that.

He beat Kiffin twice with equal talent.

Wins by year. Going the wrong way.

Talks like Pruitt. Hopefully he knows what asparagus is

Pruitt couldn't even conjugate a sentence. This guy appears to be halfway intelligent.

I didn’t hear ‘aright once.

 

[Seattle Hillbilly]

Based on his intro press conference, he’s no Kiffin. But maybe that’s a good thing.

 

[yabbadabbado]

No. Reshuffle and deal again.

 

[ATLVols]

Do we have a “wait and see” option? I am happy with the push for bringing in a great offense and that Heupel has successful head coaching experience. I was disappointed that we ended up here, but we’ll see how it goes. I’m cheering for him.

 

[GreveHaller]

He didn’t say aight in the press conference. He’s off to a good start

 

[norriscraftbasser]

Listen again.

This is how I feel. Obviously I wish we were able to land a bigger name, but he has had lots of offensive success and seems like he knows what he’s doing. If he can put together a good staff, I’ll be optimistic.

so 4 wins in 2021 seems about likely

An obvious and lazy hire by Danny White. Goes against his incoming presser of being aggressive in his hires.

 

[McCat]

Yes, a thousand times yes.

 

[jj87]

No maybe option?

 

[greenbacknative]

Apparently sucks at picking DCs?

keep pruitt.

 

[jarnol32]

44 ppg while he was at ucf. That alone makes me happy, no more trying to win the game while scoring 20 points. Heupel could end up being a great hire, we will just have to wait and see. I look forward to seeing Tennessee put up points.

 

[Otis1105]

Love the one you’re with

He beat Kiffin twice with equal talent.

Correction....he BLEW Kiffin out twice with equal talent.
2018 UCF 56 FAU 36
2019 UCF 48 FAU 14

 

[MSrivervol]

i mean, this hire brings no energy and excitement to the program except for the sheep which have been thinking 9-3 & 10-2 every year since 2010

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

28-8 record as head coach.....

21-1, 10-3, 6-4... yep... 28 and 8.... in a crap conference. And each year was with more of HIS recruits.

We are so screwed.

 

[MSrivervol]

just a complete 6 million dollar strikeout by the university

 

[Daniel_Lincolns_Foot]

Tired of hearing about Kiffin. Below .500 in the SEC, only success is at Florida Atlantic, and got his ass left on the tarmac when he was fired at USC. Forget that loser.

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

Scott Frost has absolutely sucked at Nebraska

and?

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

just a complete 6 million dollar strikeout by the university

Our program is the prostitute of NCAA football. Come here, screw us and take a lot of money.

 

[malibuvol]

Might as well...
