Just have to stay the course. Got one of the best offensive minds in college football, and a skilled staff along with him. The preparation always shows. And it's been years since I had that "ugh" feeling waking up to watch UT play ball. The only thing left is to get the right pieces in the right places. A matter of time, not of competency.

Stay. The. Course.

 

[Big Orange Captain]

What jumps out to me from that is that Auburn and Florida have been bad this decade so far and we have turned things around thanks Coach Heupel. Hope he gets his 40th win this weekend over the leg humpers

I see you ol miss

Regardless of the jokes about Lane, he’d be foolish to leave that job if he keeps winning at this clip.

Historical 55% win rate and he’s at 70%

Maybe he'd be foolish. Fact is if he ever wants to win a natty, his best route is to leave Ole Miss. But no doubt - as expected - he's doing great there.

I they will be 1 game ahead or even in this standings after this season. I dont trust them at all.

 

[McDad]

That's really impressive. Considering where our program post Pruitt, the results so far are astonishing.

 

[livefaith]

4th Best in the SEC. Who woulda believed that with the state of things after Cornbread left? We were in the abyss otherwise known as the bottom ⅓ of the SEC. Its hard to quantify how much Josh Heupel has done at TN

 

[HooahVol]

We are 26-4 at home since 2021. All four losses are to UGA. That changes Saturday.

I think you are forgetting that one of those home losses was to Ole Miss. The infamous mustard game.

We got screwed in that game.

The officials had actually done their job right, we would have won.

Ole Miss, Pitt and Purdue all were lost due to bad reffing. We should be higher

People have already highlighted the Ole Miss loss. We also lost to Pitt at home in 2021.

We were always just a competent coach away from being a competitive program. Problem was, none of his previous three predecessors were remotely competent.

Any coach who has ever been successful in the SEC has shown it in the first three years. It was always gonna be a pretty quick turnaround for whomever turned it around, because it has to be.

 

[Volizona]

Yes. Not a single one of the teams above us had to do a complete rebuild from the ground up. The current coaches all inherited well oiled machines. Maybe not Kiffin and Dabo but by 2021 they had their own players and identity. It’s almost not fair to include 2021 for CJH

 

[Col_Cathcart]

Yeah. We only play UGA at home on odd-numbered years. Not sure how he figured we would have played them at home 4 times in 4 years.

We play them every other year. Math game is not strong

That can't be right, we've only played UGA twice in Neyland (2021 and 2023) in that span. Saturday will be the third. We lost to Ole Miss in 2021, there must be one more in 2021.

Really hope he doesn’t take the Bama or Florida job before we take the next step in winning a championship (beat Georgia, win the SEC, or a playoff game). Because he would turn a program like those around in a hurry. I think unless the wheels just completely fall off that DeBoer will get another year and then they’ll reevaluate. I think Golesh ends up in Gainsville though. Which could be a huge pain in the ass for us. Although it is a good sign that Heupel is starting a build a coaching tree of his own. It’ll be extremely difficult to do, but I’d love to see Jerry Mack get Kennesaw State to a fairly respectable level and climb his way up the ladder too

He's doing ok, but in typical Kiffin style, hasn't really accomplished anything...

2020 - 5-5 ok COVID year, no one really cares about this season
2021 - 10-3 - gets some lucky breaks vs Tennessee, Arkansas, and gets housed by Baylor in bowl game
2022 - 8-5 - starts out 7-0 due to easy schedule, then goes 1-5 including blowouts to Miss State and Texas Tech
2023 - 11-2 - his best year finished #11, beats Penn St in Peach Bowl
2024 - 10-3 - misses playoffs despite stacked team and easy schedule (only 2 ranked teams) due to upset losses to Florida and UK, beats Duke in bowl game
2025 - 2-0 so far, we shall see

He's 8-9 vs ranked teams and has only beaten FOUR teams he wasn't favored to beat
