So who COULD we get if not Heupel?

[BigOrangeTrain]

They’re just better coaches than Hype

He’s a mid pack SEC head coach. No SEC titles with him.

How are they better? Neither has won anything. How many SEC titles does Kiffin have? Freeman got absolutely smoked by who Northern Illinois I believe?

 

[Illinoisvolfan2]

His staff at least. Florida has a really good D

And they will hair drag us in Gainesville in a few weeks

Fans who do not understand the landscape of college football or where Tennessee sits would never understand your question.

Truth is, Heupel has been coaching at a level above the talent we have had since he has been here. Tennessee was hit with recruiting violations and is just now hitting theor stride in recruiting. As we have seen with the defense this year, while there is talent, we are thin. We are stacking the talent.

But at Tennessee, even with NIL, we are a tier behind the upper echelon of college football. Tennessee doesn't have the recruiting hotbed that other states have access to.

 

[Cobb-Webb 1989]

lol, those guys aren’t coming here. Brian Kelly would tho. You want him? See how dumb this idea is?

So, are your saying Danny White can’t get the job done?

 

[UTK]

Heupel would have to have back to back 6-6 type years for me to even start to turn on him. lol I know what kind of pain you can end up in firing a coach and making just one hire that backfires. It can become a chain of bad hires quickly

 

[SGMVols]

Kiffin, Freeman etc…

Nobody is leaving NOTRE DAME to come here. Get real man

I’m saying you thinking Tennessee is a better job than UF, LSU, or PSU is nonsense

 

[The Original Fade]

But are those two really sure fire upgrades? Neither have won championships.

They aren’t. VN’s obsession with Kiffin is both weird and pointless.

 

[Cobb-Webb 1989]

It’s an even top job. Stop under selling UT.

Danny White was hired and said, we would be back in SEC championships

 

[OldandStillaVol]

I don't want to fire Heupel right now but I do want better coordinators, especially defense. The SEC is rough and we either attempt to get better or we'll get worse. There is no standing still. We also need to be more aggressive in the portal.

Do I think Heupel can win an SEC championship? Odds are not in his favor but he needs to evolve and be more demanding of both coaches, players and himself.

Totally agree, but he‘s not going to clean house.

Go to sleep. You’re drunk.

[djones24]

This is basically butch jones 2.0

 

[Carl Pickens]

I don’t Doe who COULD we get if not Heupel?​

 

[UTwild82]

This year? Going against the teams already looking and those who will be?

No one worth having.

[treecejc]

We could hire Golesh to come back and be head coach.

 

[ATLVols]

We were more talented than Oklahoma. We just turned the ball over and didn’t execute when we needed.

 

[volfan2024]

Well let’s see. 1. Ball bounced off guys face mask critical play of game.2. Missed field goals.3. O line allowed sacked fumble. 4. He doesn’t play any longer.5. Why fault him?

Butch Jones beat Bama twice?

 

[Baseball25]

So, are your saying Danny White can’t get the job done?

He pushed the best coach at UT out the door, didn't he? No, he can't get the job done.

 

[Hairy Vols]

This may be the dumbest question on this board and I see it daily. Was JH a sure fire upgrade? We had no idea and we hired him. You don’t get any guarantees when hiring. You decide you want better, you make a move, and it works or it doesn’t.

Wanting better without a plan sounds like a bad idea. Firing a coach who made the playoffs last season feels like a bad idea. Being short sighted and not focusing on stability and the future sounds like a bad idea.

Nothing is certain but we can mediate the risks by making sound/non emotional decisions.

We just lost. Look at everyone on this forum. Over emotional nonsense is running wild.

Ask yourself which side are you on currently?

 

[bpalmer28]

And who is a 100% sure fire upgrade?

Exactly. Remember when Bobby Petrino was considered a would be home run hire? Scott Frost? Hugh Freeze? Heck many people here wanted Billy Napier.

How are they looking now?

When you have a HC who sets the floor at 8 wins, the best thing to do is support him through thick and thin. History has shown that the grass isn’t always greener on the other side. Penn State going to find out the hard way.

They’re just better coaches than Hype

He’s a mid pack SEC head coach. No SEC titles with him.

How many titles does Kiffin have? How many championships does Freeman have? You’re making guesses. We have a coach who is averaging over 9 wins per year. I’m good with that.
