I think hiring White is the big win.Ok hear me out...
We have loved all our hires previously (51% of fan base) and lost everything... what if since its somebody we dont like it turns things around?
Us not liking the hire may give him more drive to win..
Just trying to stay positive.
Both will exit together.I think hiring White is the big win.
Heupel may or may not be "the one" but he's sure to provide an exciting offense to watch and a fresh start. After a decade of good ol' boy shenanigans, we need this.
Doubt it, this time. I believe admin is turning the corner from "business as usual." Had we stuck with Fulmer, promoted Steele to HC, moved Tee toward OC, etc I'd think rinse, repeat.Both will exit together.
Losses will seal the deal.
COVID, NCAA penalty, portal or whatever... only wins count.
SNAFU at UT in 3-4 years.
Rinse -repeat.
It is our specialty.
Like some others, I possibly could be considered jaded.
Hope I am wrong this time.
Who the hell is 'us' that doesn't like the hire? I've seen at least 90% positivity--and that's on VN, the King of negativity.Ok hear me out...

Who is the "us" not liking this hire? He is at least "equal" to the hires made since Fulmer... and that's with the NCAA stuff looming. All things considered this was a good hire. I don't know what he might do. The deck is stacked against him even if he's very capable. But if UT couldn't get one of 2 or maybe 3 "big name" hires as apparently they couldn't then why pay Chadwell or someone like that $6 million compared to Heupel at $4 million? The lower HC contract leaves more money to pay assistants.Ok hear me out...

I'm very optimistic about Coach Heupel and think he will do a good job.Ok hear me out...

First off, CJH signed a 6 year contract. Secondly, his contract has a clause that says if there are certain NCAA sanctions that his contact is automatically extended to a 7 year contract. The only way he leaves in 3-4 years is on his own accord. Which means he has been very successful in bringing the program back.Both will exit together.

Let us reviewFirst off, CJH signed a 6 year contract.

My point was that he got a long contract due to the state of the program. Fans will always have inflated expectations, but the administration is going to be more realistic. Our offense will almost be guaranteed to be good under Coach JH. If we can field an average defense we will have a winning record (not necessarily talking about year one). Will fans be content with 8 and 9 win seasons without beating the big 3 for 3-4 years? I think if this happens and we are competitive in the losses, he deserves 5-6 years. We are rock bottom right now (by UT standards).Let us review
Mr. Orange Britches.................3 years
Hornblower .................................5 years
Bubba Gump................................3 years
All gone before their contracts expired.
All gone because they lost to much.
Win or be gone.
That has not changed.
Length of contract only defines the amount of buyout, not how long a person will be HC.
I appreciate the attempt to find positives in the negatives.Ok hear me out...

BS. Trying to to convince someone that your negative approach should really be a positive is a failure. In addition "what if" questions are almost always negative because the questions and answers are based on speculation and not facts.Ok hear me out...

I agree , but I'm actually more excited to have Fulmer out of the picture.This hire is going to be a HUGE improvement over Pruitt—with the bonus of Fulmer finally being out of the way. We will likely have an innovative and aggressive offense (Yay!) and Heupel has already worked with the AD so there is consistency there. Let's rock.
