"If you build it, he will come."
Romo said today that Heupel will be considered for NFL job after this season

Why is a guy who pretended to be a Kentucky fan for a week allowed to stay here and troll? Mods, take out the trash for christs sake.
He won’t be leaving for the NFL any time soon. Money will be less and he’s going to ride the big orange wave while he can. He’s bought enough goodwill for 2-3 years.
SEC defensive coordinators will start to figure Heupel out.
It wiil start Saturday. If Herbstreit can figure it out from watching games/film so can coaches.

To quote Jack Nicholson “ you can’t handle the truth “… don’t worry basketball is here. is st peters on the schedule this year ?
I love that you are so proud of UT's defeat over UK that you are still here beating your chest over it 4 days later. I'm glad we could contribute to your happiness since UT fans haven't had a lot to cheer about since Pat Summitt retired.
Coming from a guy whose team has NEVER been to a Final Four? Take your man boobs back to your own board.
Don’t you wish you had those man boobs?
And a 44 to 6 victory ? And be ranked # 1 or # 2 ?
It’s OK… Hope y’all don’t have to play saint peters this year
I'd rather bury the hatchet if it meant winning big but that's just me. I agree it's not likely but more likely than the NFL. The offense won't work in the NFL so he would be crazy to go.
I'm guessing Heupel will be locked into Knoxville for quite some time now because he's a hero there now and will stay that way for a while. Ultimately expectations will get so high with his winning he won't be able to continually match his own standards-- that would be the time to leave but that will be awhile. He won;t go NFL-- far too many examples of guys going that route and failing.
The question there will be what do they look like when they don’t have a 25 year old qb (as old as Joe burrow) with a ton of pt under his belt in his career. That offense can look just as bad with empty 3 and outs as it does good if you don’t have the guy at the helm. I don’t know that he’s the most talented guy and doesn’t make many great throws but he’s an elite decision maker
And after Chumlee's staff is raided. People forget Stoops had to replace 5 assts after last year and indications are UK/Stoops took a step backwards with those hires. Will Chumlee do the same? College game is always changing. TN's been good but they're just as likely to go the Miss St/Mullen or the LSU/Ogeron route as not.
Tell that to Stoops/White, they managed to make it as hard as Chinese arithmetic.
Saban/Golding couldn't figure it out either so Stoops/White aren't alone. It only takes a moment of indecision by a single DB for the coverage to bust, and when the offense is coming fast at you and using motion and play action it really stresses the D.
As we go along somebody at some point will figure it out, always do or people would still be running the Veer or Wishbone. That and the illegal motions, holds, downfield screens start to be called. Bob Knight thought running a massive amounts of moving screens was the way to go because they all won't/can't be called, that's where we are now with some of these football offenses. Can't/won't call everything.
Tenn will not be out bid on coaches of JH wants to keep them.. As long as JH is at Puke orange you won't have to worry about their offense while UK will go thru 3/4 more OCS with the same promises and results.

Heupels done more in two years than stoops has in 10.
we will never get ranked as high as they are. This is why the pundits who cry about firing coaches and not giving them time make me laugh.
one, they don’t deserve time, they’re making millions. Two, if the right guy is hired then it won’t be a problem. They’ll make it work. Tennessee is the dumbest damn program in the country but they got lucky with this hire. They’ll make him the highest paid coach in college football if he makes the playoffs. Even more than saban

I am sure most DCs have already figured it out because again, it's not a complicated system. But the reason it is difficult to stop is because on every play a DC has to hope all 11 guys maintain perfect discipline with the wide stacks, motion, play action, and RPOs coming at them at a rapid pace which makes it difficult to communicate and equally difficult not to bite on a decoy move, or at the very least have a moment's hesitation, and when you have WR's with track speed coming at you that moment of hesitation can be fatal. Understanding the scheme is not the hard part.
Still maintain as we go along there will be subtle changes how the game is called that will remove Chumlee's effectiveness. Motion, holds, downfield picks will start being called. Does that mean he won't win? No, just that he'll have to readjust. That's how the college game is played, constant adjustments and readjustments.
Hard to see it working in the NFL just bc 30year old men don’t want to hurry up to that extent and it’s harder to get complete buyin. Not to mention you have way more talent on the DLine, LBs that can run w average speed receivers, and Elite DBs…harder to find the mismatches or lack of discipline.
However as a college offense it is lethal.Ask yourself this… If you were about to be a Grad Assistant and was trying to make the best decision for your future (college coaching)…would you want to learn under a Lane Kiffin/Josh Heupel or would you want to learn under time of possession dominant pro concepts OC/HC?
Recruiting QBs is the only real aspect it ‘should’ give us an edge in bc you can sell them on being better prepared. But Receivers want the ball as often as possible and higher tempo leads to that.

Possibly. Who knows. But I doubt there will be any rule changes to rub routes/ pic plays. Those have been around for years and pretty much every offense uses them. As long as you don't stop and act like your blocking and instead just run your route, your not going to get OPI called on you. But sure, other tweaks will be made here and there. Nature of the game.
I bet you heard that from your cousin's neighbor from 3 doors down who heard it while eavesdropping on 2 fat ladies while getting her nails done at a Korean salon.
Who was the last successful college head coach that went on to a successful nfl career? Jimmy Johnson
My wife and I stayed in Tunica the week of the Mississippi game and we met a guy from Oklahoma and huge fan of Bob's. He told us this very thing about BS and how much pull he had there. So we'll see.
Which I think is going to cause us some serious problems in the off season. Before Mumme was hired at UK Tim Couch was about to transfer to Puke orange. Kids want what's in their best interest.
Carroll had prior NFL head coaching experience, though. There also aren't many NFL head coaches, without college head coaching experience, who succeed when they leave the NFL for college.
I was curios, so I looked it up and after Johnson, Tom Coughlin and Jim Harbaugh were two others, though not on the level of Johnson.
If you're a college coach never take an NFL job without a star QB. You'd be lucky to make it three full seasons without one.
Yeah... I forgot he was NFL before USC... what Pats and Jets? I'll have to look it up now. I'm not sure.
If he loses hooker he better go. You'll be back to where you belong next year. Promise.
But you ain't playing that hurry up run a play every 5 seconds in the NFL. Just saying

Look I hate UT, but I don’t understand this mode of thinking. My guess is that JH will have QB’s from the portal beating down his door to transfer there to showcase their skills in that offense.
Let’s get something straight, this isn’t gimmicky Hawaii of the Colt Brennan years, or Washington St under Leach, Boise St with Statue of Liberty stuff, etc. JH and UT are putting up these numbers in the SEC, and against the best in the SEC (Bama and LSU, so far).
Id say find a serviceable QB to replace Hooker will be the least of JH’s worries. In fact, his biggest issue there is he will likely have to turn down some really good QB’s because he’ll have so many wanting to play there.
No, I’m afraid UT has it rolling. Kentucky has to make changes and bring an actual exciting brand of football or get left behind……AGAIN.
This is what will happen. They could legit be flagged on most every play for formation or shifts but get away with it. I think the leniency will go away this much spotlight and the success being solely because officials are too slow to recognize their illegal formation or shift
