Not sure what it is.. Josh Heupel does nothing for me. Honestly. It’s like I don’t care.... but I do
Anyone else been feeling like this? I get the runway for CJH hate is a long one but I’m not even talking about that and being unhappy with the hire. Something just doesn’t feel right to me. I feel like we are being played
I get what you're saying, but I feel the opposite. It definitely feels weird, but this is a radical outside-the-box hire by UT standards. And we NEEDED radical, outside-the-box as much as anybody. But I think the weird feeling is partly the fact that this a actually a mature, reasonable hire, and I'm not used to that.
If it helps, consider this:
This is the most accomplished and experienced head coach (as a head coach, I mean) that we have hired since Majors in the 70's.
This is the most accomplished player since Majors that we've hired as a head coach as well. No band member, backup QB at a podunk school out west, or losing record at a trade school.
This guy isn't fidgety, jittery, stammering, or struggling to put together a coherent sentence, and that's the first time we've had that since Fulmer.
This guy is extremely comfortable in his own skin. A grown ass man, if you will. He knows what he wants to do and he's quietly going about doing it, without fanfare or goofy marketing or making a clown out of himself. Again, first time since Fulmer there.
I think that weirdness we are feeling is the exact thing we've wanted to feel for a long time. I'm giving it a chance.
