Fire Heupel Petition

Okay, take Frost out of the comment. Do you really think play calling in the Tulsa game was imaginative? Are you saying the offensive line wasn't porous and that you believe that CH and RS adapt well to unexpected defenses or offensives? To what do you attribute the loss?
I did see a nice wrinkle with the shovel pass play in the red zone. Bringing in Schneider to punch the ball in at the goal line also could be considered imaginative although that shouldn't have been necessary. I'm more concerned with pre-snap/mental penalties and a clear pattern of failure against the 3-3-5 setup than the actual play calls. If last season is a guide we will bounce back in response to the shock of this L. The big question is whether we can maintain the necessary level of focus on preparation and execution on a weekly basis and not revert back to these bad tendencies like happened last year a couple times leading to unnecessary close losses.
I'm saying that some of us have drank too deeply of the Black and Gold Kool-aide. We have built a brand based on success over the last three, but we are not at the level where we can expect perfection or fire a coach over a three loss season. In may ways we got lucky, now we are getting greedy. Play calling was not great, but this is a theme all over college football at the moment. Not sure how we deserve a pass. Be unhappy about the outcome, look for improvement, but stop with the fire the coach nonsense
Heupel is not going anywhere soon. That being said DW marketing of the program is predicated on the team being in the spotlight and national stage. The money and sell outs crowds are not going to stay for a team that may not play for even a conference championship for two years in a row.
As for Heupel and staff, its a concern that the team failed to have an answer for last years loss, even after the team talks about circling this game for revenge.
All marketing is predicated on winning and being on the national stage. He has done a masterful job of capitalizing. But even he knows it will not last forever.
The team and coaches underperformed. My guess is that we are not as good as we think we are. Certainty not as good as people think we should be
Nobody should be thinking much of any team after 2-3 games. It takes 4-6 games to start to see if teams are good, bad, or other. You can assume stuff on paper or by a preseason depth chart but then life happens.
For example, I've seen our neighbor to the west vault all the way up to #2 in the country, only to then lose 3 consecutive conference games and come nowhere near being at the top of the conference.
Good response. Okay I'll give you the two imaginative plays you mention. I was more concerned about what became a pattern of off tackle right, off tackle left, pass and punt. The successful long bomb is great when it works but I wouldn't rely on it as our only way of getting scores. And you are right on to point out the penalty situation. There is no excuse for the number of false starts and movement penalties that the team is racking up. Those are drive killers. But it seems to me that most of this falls on coaches.
In a shortened season, losing 1 of first 3 games in college football is not good. Even if we win Conference there is a chance a G5 will go undefeated and we are in a shitty bowl.
Correct, and he's cultivating a young fan base that is going to respond like some of the blue bloods fansbases that throw their hands in the air when their team is not annually in the national spotlight.
I do think we see DW leave before Heupel does.
Respectfully disagree. DW is paid like an AD at a major program without the pressure of one.
If UCF were to go three seasons in a row without playing for a conference championship- DW makes a change, in my opinion.
The amount of penalties this year are an inexcusable lack of discipline and poor coaching. It’s really embarrassing.
Aren’t the numbers last in the FBS? If it’s not fixed, we cannot possibly beat anyone good with the amount of young players, opt outs and injuries

We may have won if we went for those other field goals instead of going for it on 4th down. Then again our kicker may have missed those too.
4 more years on the contract and revenues devastated by Covid, Hueple is here for a while.
Again because DW messed up and extended him after the first year when we had no need to..One of the stupidest decisions ever. Cool.lets keep him and be USF in 4 years.
So it sounds like your beef is with DW. Can you make a thread on that instead?
Recommend you send DW a note...and see how he responds.
The offense was on fire this game. Scored 49 points and it's clear we have young WRs and OLmen who can do the job in the coming years. I believe we've seen some great play from our young RBs too.
This game was lost by the defense. Young guys in the secondary got beat all day. Even Aaron Robinson was having to settle for penalties in order to defend that Memphis WR. On the Dline there is clear athleticism but there wasn't much pressure on White.
I've been critical of Heups playcalling and leadership but he had our offense humming today AND he corrected all the presnap and post whistle penalties from the last two weeks. So Heup is definitely fine by me after this one. As for the defense, theres little the coaches can do to mature our players faster than biology allows. Unfortunately, I think CJH and CRS are doing their best and this is the best the team can do right now so I'm sticking with them both.

I disagree and truely believe this team can be better...do you really think that this team would not be better under Frost
Seems that you were wrong my friend
We had this argument last year. At some point you have to make a move. If your not going forward your falling behind. 3 years of this is enough.
Memphis is not a defensive powerhouse. We are team with a piss poor HC and DC.
Y'all need to relax, you had a couple good years in the JV league now you fire coaches because your expectation of having an elite program is unhinged! Be happy with your Disney parades and mythical championships!
Who’s your team loser. Be a man and tell us
NGEbraska?
It’s not a team that’s any good, because fans of those teams don’t troll free UCF message boards, so your team must be pathetic and you’re projecting your frustration
The team that just barely beat a terrible Louisville team? The same team that LOST to Clemson 73-7
Do you think that you’re making the CFP?
We all saw what happened the last time. If you’re not in with the big boys, you’re in the same boat as the rest
Wanted to make sure it was something you could understand!
