ESPN sources said Elliott turned down the job.

Dabo told him to

He can't be the only one that turned us down, please tell me we offered others

 

[Behr]

Yea, I can't help from enjoying the "pit of hell" feeling certain blowholes are feeling right now.

 

[Behr]

Yes

I see now. I was away for a few and hadn't seen.

Oh well, it's part for the course.

If true it confirmed what we all knew.
Tennessee football is dead

With what's likely coming sanction-wise, I'm not sure who people thought we were going to get.
Edit: I mean, I picked Chadwell, but Heupel would be in that tier of coaches right now.

Well orange glasses makes people think money and history will bring in splash hires.

 

[vol445]

Not familiar w him. Judging by somes reaction. Not a great hire. Oh well hopefully he knows what he’s done wrong and fixes it here. I’ll reserve judgement until i see his product on the field.

Well, maybe not completely dead. Maybe Heupel can revive it.

 

[Orangeslice13]

JayBird didn’t react to this news very well.
It’s sad that this silly thing called football is going to have such a negative affect in my life as he will likely come closer to giving up. One less thing he was holding on too.

I could cry.

Tell your mom she doesn’t get her shower door after all. She gets this instead:

Maybe he'll be alright or better, but I don't see it and I'm not investing anything more than a casual interest in the major activities.

It's pretty sad when you let it sink in and settle.

Oh well.

I’m sorry. We’re just going to have to see, I guess. Just further proof of how badly things have been run at UT.

I wish we’d had a major hire. Let’s hope that instead this will be a hire that steps into the limelight.

Josh Heupel Named Tennessee's 27th Head Football Coach - University of Tennessee Athletics

 

[The Ron Mexico]

I’ll say the same thing about Heupel as I said about every other coach. Ask me in 2-3 years how I feel about him. Because the results are all that matters.

 

[CubsFanTN]

Just win, baby

 

[The Ron Mexico]

Ok, it’s official. I know who the coach is going to be. But I can’t reveal the name till it’s officially announced. My source would be mad and I would lose his trust. After it’s announced I’ll confirm that I was right.

Yep. My source was right. He told me Heupel.

 

[VolNExile]

Yep. My source was right. He told me Heupel.

lol

 

[NorCalVol67]

No one had Huepel, do we just roll it over to the search in 4 years?

[VolNExile]

Oh well. I wanted Campbell, but I’m a bit relieved about dodging the Waffle House double date with Souce and Joe.

If that was the bet, I'm glad I lost, too.
