He could be very successful at Tennessee. He’s got a good offensive mind and so far has developed every QB he has gotten. Not a great recruiter, nor seems to care about defense much but he has major money at a Tennessee to overcome those shortfalls by buying players and hiring a good DC.
In his last game UT muffed a punt and had a punt blocked. So seems he is still not coaching well in that area.Yep, the defense and special teams definitely suffered after Heupel's takeover. We're still dealing with some of those issues. Will be interesting to see if that plays out again in Knoxville AND how he handles adversity when it strikes in the locker room - the reaction to the losses to Tulsa and @Memphis in 2020 seemed like he had a meltdown and the locker room sniffed weakness.
Randy Shannon was hired before him and he wasn’t allowed to replace him. The defense being bad is on DW and RS. Not Heupel. BTW DG just ran a 61 yard TD against Nebraska.Yep, the defense and special teams definitely suffered after Heupel's takeover. We're still dealing with some of those issues.

Things are not always that simple or cut and dry. The play of the defense, especially late in games, is often the result of poor offensive execution.Randy Shannon was hired before him and he wasn’t allowed to replace him. The defense being bad is on DW and RS. Not Heupel.
