Clearly Heupel needs more time. They are young but he is a great recruiter. The OC need more time. Their QB needs more time with OC...the OL will do talking on field eventually..we have a 5 star QB and RB..future is bright..any others excuses James?
Well look at this. TN goes from dumpster fire to beating Bama by two TDs.
- Thread starter SLion
- Start date
Tenne$$ee, may be one of the best teams money can buy.

If Nico Iamaleava is the $8 million QB recruit, he's the best gamble
Nico-mania is here, from branded pajama pants to hoards of fans, from California to Tennessee.

Well, we guaranteed $70 million for Franklin. Seems like a bargain.
How much of the $70M did you contribute, SLion?? Zilch. So stop using "We".
You're such a goof.
Heupel has done very well but Hooker is the difference for the Vols this year. Last year Heupel looked like a bum when he was depending on Joe Milton at QB.
Well it works both ways, Penn State gets way over promoted in various rankings, etc. merely because they bring lots of eyeballs, which is clicks and money these days, just look at today, Michigan tons of offense and never punted, hardly a true match up of "Top 10 teams", that game was not even close.
Seriously, let it go. Franklin isn't remotely close to a high paid coach. He is average at best.
A goof would be someone defending this shitsh&w while claiming TN bought their way to be competitive with best program in country. That recruit is not playing. We all pay it by going to the games and spending money. Where does it come from, genius?
It's early but Bama is showing what happens when you aren't disciplined and give another quality team good/elite field position all day
I think it is not about being highest paid but locking him into front loaded contract with years of bad play. Now, we are tied when Rhule available. It is the worst possible outcome.
I go back to plot it days. Same handle. Not sure why it matters nor why Lion8286 starts with personal attacks. They are valid points. We can make excuses for Franklin. We get destroyed by UM in year 9, never in game. Heupel has TN beating Bama at half in year two. At some point we have to admit that OSU and UM have him figured out. He has weaknesses and transparences that won't change year to year and talent won't help. A new coach brings new approach, new life to program..but we are locked in.
Sorry--you overthought it--just meant because you used the "moron" attack like one the children here that is probably in hiding because we lost.
We agree about the coach situation
I figured this would be a good game.
Is Young playing? Bama didn't look great last week without him.

You think Tennessee just started paying players this season?? That's hilarious. You really are a simpleton.
You think Penn State never paid players? You really are a simpleton.
Michigan paid them a ton but do you really believe no Penn Stater has ever been paid?
Name the players, how much they were paid, and by whom.
I can name the players for Tennessee and Michigan.
What am I accepting? I asked if you believe no Penn State player has ever been paid and you keep avoiding the question. If you believe that great--it just proves you're naive.
Not avoding the question. I asked you for evidence. Who was paid, how much, and by whom.
If you have that info then you need to share it,
Otherwise, you need to STFU and admit that you're a loser.
Obviously you have chip with TN. They have 8 losing seasons since 2008 and plenty of 7-6. Looks like they did not do well with those payments. If you had any critical analysis, perhaps see that Heupel has brought the necessary changes but keep on being clueless
You really are in denial and are that dumb. Reggie White admitted getting paid by Tennessee decades ago. Do you think that stopped with him?? lol
