All those people that thought the raise was premature were correct. If we had waited, we would have gotten the dollar amount correct. Top 10 in NCAA.
It's almost like no matter the era we find ourselves in as long as Tennessee simply has a head coach who posses a modicum of competence, for the most part UT can be reliably counted on as having a perennially elite football program.
Pay him. Do it smart though to keep him hungry. Lots of performance based bonuses that pay big time. Most importantly put a big time buyout claus together for [uck fay] sake.

People are talking about him being a candidate for Michigan job. then there was this gem from someone working for Mike Farrell. Michigan isn’t a top 5 job. Tennessee job is better or equal in pretty much every measure except they get to play in the Big 10.
Yeah I mean we’re gonna be biased to some degree. I suppose depending on what a coach wants it’s possible to perceive Michigan as a better job, but in general I don’t believe that is true. And I also don’t believe Heupel is the type of guy that would be terribly intrigued by that job.
