Heupel to Tennessee

[Go Canes!!]

Where’s that Tennessee did a great job being proactive thread again?

All evidence to the contrary.

Im sure youre more accustomed to the Manny Diaz slip and slide type of winner

Did you even look at his three year trend at ucf?

He’s was in the middle of burying that program.

That gimpy qb didnt help

 

[Go Canes!!]

That gimpy qb didnt help

Say that here and people scream excuses.

Coming off the best two year run in school history he somehow pulled the 60th, 75th and 65th ranked recruiting classes. At least Manny is building the most talented and deepest team we’ve had here in a decade

Heupel is awful.

 

[TRick72]

Man, Heupel is fat af

He does have some really nice ****ies

dillon Gabriel, who he had for two of those years, is one of the more talented QBs in the country and was the starter for that team. it has nothing to do with the now FSU QB esp when the guy who took over was playing at a pretty **** good to near elite level

Hahaha. Only dude ever to be cutoff from food at the Epcot Wine & Food Festival.

"Coach. No. We'll sell you all the booze you want but put that poutine down! Coach. No. I don't care what they let you do at Halloween Horror Nights...".

Good move for Heupel. He wouldn't get a job like this after another year at UCF.

Questionable move for Tennessee. I'm not sure they had much better waiting for them to offer the job, but...I don't know how much he's going to win there. They averaged 5 wins a year under Proot. They averaged like 7 wins a year under Butch Jones. 5 win team under Derek Dooley. They had 7 wins under the Lane Train. The floor is pretty low for success at UT at this point.

UT was being touted as an emerging team with just one 8-win season under Proot before crashing into a wall this past season.

Are they also making a move for Jeff Lebby to rejoin him?

We have to be honest. He got the job because of his previous "relationship" with Danny White. Not because he excelled at UCF.

 

[kschro24]

He’s trash and the kids hate him. Trust me

I saw a tweet that said the only players upset about him leaving were new players. Good thing UT is dumb as fugg. $6 mill to UCF for White and Heupel lol

 

[Alex Del Piero]

he just got a raise here

Yes but I do think that he might leave fo an HC job and UCF is a very good one.

 

[Canes2082]

Oooff.... any long walks from the locker room in the AAC?

 

[hoops156]

Yes but I do think that he might leave fo an HC job and UCF is a very good one.

I agree, but I do think UCF likely has their sights set on Lebby

 

[Scrape into the C Gap]

Tennessee will be dog **** for another 5 years.

 

[Alex Del Piero]

Definitely my thought too. Hoping I'm wrong though.

Me too, also because at this point UM will promote Likens or Justice and this would be a pretty big downgrade.

If we are really cheap: Likens to OC/QB and Cooney promoted to WR. I don't wanna think about it.

There are plenty of good OC though, I hope Manny finds a new one if Lashlee goes to UCF.

 

[Alex Del Piero]

I agree, but I do think UCF likely has their sights set on Lebby

Yep, plenty of support for him at UCF: alums, former players, current players and administrators. It makes sense.

 

[BoxingRobes]

We have to be honest. He got the job because of his previous "relationship" with Danny White. Not because he excelled at UCF.

I don't disagree. Its a good move for him. Got a bump in pay and left just as he was likely to get exposed as a Coker type.

With that said, idk if anyone was beating down the door to go coach UT either. That place stinks and is incredibly hard to win at. They've been a 6-win team for like 20 years at this point. LIke...Miami has been more of an 8-win type of team over the same period and we've not been good...so just imagine regularly being two more losses in the hole. Yikes.

Man *****?

 

[423Hurricane]

We have to be honest. He got the job because of his previous "relationship" with Danny White. Not because he excelled at UCF.

And their options were limited.

 

[Hoyacane1620]

Steele wanted the job, no?

I read they brought him in to try and stem the tide of transfers etc. He was basically a guy to keep the peace until they got a permanent head coach. Maybe Pruitt and some of the boosters had other ideas when they brought him in but I don't think the UT administration ever intended for him to the the HC. and when White was hired, the handwriting was on the wall.

Will be interesting to see if White and Heupel keep him around...
