When Does Josh Heupel

[TheVolsFrog]

We're no where near firing Hype.
I think some changes on his staff need to be made though.

I don’t think Heupel will or should be fired anytime soon. He does need to address the defensive deficiencies and the penalties. This would likely require some assistant coach/coordinator changes. The team has shown no improvement in terms of discipline. If he isn’t willing to chew a player out for making a bone headed mistake or not giving full effort on a play he needs a well respected assistant coach who will.

He's not going to finish 6-6 this year.
He's not going to be 0-6 against Georgia after next year, because I don't think that they play.
If you consider 8-4 or 9-3 to be mediocre, (not a completely unfair assessment, but not the one DW will use), then it is not going to happen next year either.

So, you should have included a none of the above option.

I think its premature to have a conversation on firing Heupel.

Does he need to make some changes? Yes, starting with discipline and fundamentals.

100% agree with this position. For all the fire the coaches posts, DW is not firing Heuple after this season but I do believe Heuple's future here may be decided in the next couple of yrs based on what he does end of this season. It is clear to me at least, that changes have to be made, whether it is asst coach changes, schemes, whatever but he needs to dig deep in the offseason make improvements.

Pay no attention to anybody that puts fire and Heupel in the same sentence. Talk about moronic.

Change is another story. Notably finding somebody that can teach tackling. That was the worst exhibition I’ve seen in all my years of watching football and that’s around 60 of them. I attribute a lot of the Bama big plays to that mess.

A lot of folks will add pass coverage to that too. Definitely struggling in that area especially without McCoy and Gibson. Even Hood had a rough day Saturday. I believe they are playing more soft zone and big drops to try to help the replacements and it’s leading to big chunk plays. Hard to do that when you can’t make tackles in open space. Simpson had a bunch of completions over 15 yards. Definitely agree that some changes need to be made.

I am going to plead the 5th and not answer this poll.

I am going to plead the 5th and not answer this poll.

I’m not going to do the poll because it’s a waste of time. Same with about 3 others that have recently appeared here.
