The Sunshine Pumping Josh Heupel Positives Thread

At least classy it up for the next coach and use Burger King bags.

 

Pffft... Krystals, IMO. Be sure to leave the empty chili cups in there too. They don’t deserve the good stuff.

 

Here's the thing for me, I need you people that know people to find out why we didn't talk to Sexton people. Is our AD that dumb/prideful, or is this further fallout from destroying Pruitt's career that he's exacting revenge with?

If he's that dumb/prideful, I'm livid.

If Sexton blocked us, this was among the best we could probably do. Lord knows what he might have been telling other coaches behind the scenes, even those that he didn't represent. I think Heupel has a slim chance to succeed and I'll be rooting for him for sure. In this case, DW needs to repair that bridge and hopefully Heupel can wade us through sanctions while he does it and maybe next time around that 50M or whatever it is in on our line will land us a fish. I really think Boyd, Plowman, and DW want to succeed here, and I highly doubt they were jumping up and down when Josh Heupel said yes.

 

Sexton is a businessman above all. He didn’t “block” anybody. As far as future hires go... there won’t be any “fish” for Tennessee. It’s time to get over being a destination job any more. We’re now a third tier stepping stone to other, more attractive jobs for coaches who don’t mind putting their careers on the line to come here and try out for bigger jobs. I hate it, but it’s our reality now. A big tradition school with all the amenities but no power behind it any more because that’s the way the folks in charge want it. We’re officially a “has-been” program.

 

When somebody takes 16 million dollars from your client and destroys any future head coaching career they might have had, that's a problem for your business.

 

Sexton let it be known his guys weren't coming for cheap. There was fallout from not paying Pruitt's buyout. We may not see a Sexton guy here for awhile

 

Pruitt will be fine. He’s already got a NFL
job lined up.

 

Aaron Haydens son Dallen if getable now, wheras we were not going to be a factor before. So thats good. Or bad. Depending where you are at

 

He is 16mil light in getting there, and can probably never coach in college again with the level of disgrace we put him through.

If you represent someone and you let that go unpunished, what does that say to your other client base? It would serve him to send a message saying "if you do that to one of my clients, I will make your life a living hell." That way, people would want to be represented by you, because organizations would be scared to mistreat you and piss off your representation that also represents 75% of the market. Like we discussed before, it's a mafia/union situation with the amount of control he has over the industry.

 

Chadwell makes $350k at Coastal. It would've made so much more sense to hire him on the optimism angle, even at 10x his current salary, given that he's improved programs he's led. Same goes for Lance Leipold at Buffalo. Paying a $3.5m buyout for a coach whose record trajectory is unobjectively downwards, although the numbers are admittedly limited, is absolutely [uck fay]ing absurd. Why not pay $4mill/6years to one of these previously mentioned guys who have actually shown they can improve a team? You save the $3.5 million buyout and you get, more than likely, the same returns. Probably better.

 

Danny White is a [ussy pay]. That's all I have to say on this matter.

 

EB4Heisman or Gahlee, or whatever he goes by now, told me I was being irrational and dumb when I said Pruitt was a shit hire.

 

The thing is - I don't hate Pruitt. I actually hate Fulmer more.

 

Those guys will have an opportunity much better than UT, assuming NCAA sanctions, soon. Or they didn't want to damper their future by taking on the mess of UT right now. Either way I don't blame them.

 

Pruitt put himself in disgrace by treating people like crap and cheating. Not only that, being incompetent not only at his actual job but his cheating as well. He deserves to be out that money.

 

I don't really care personally about him either or his financial status. I bet Jimmy Sexton does as it relates to his business and would want to stick it to us is what I was trying to say.

 

At the very least, the vast majority of folks would’ve been behind it if he’d hired Chadwell

 

I agree, but if I'm making $350k and have the opportunity to make $3500k+, I'm more than likely going to take it. Even with extenuating circumstances, it's a good enough raise that I would take my chances. Especially when at the very minimum $20 million is guaranteed. An amount decent enough that even if I were to [uck fay] this job up so monumentally I could never be employed again by anyone/anywhere/anytime - something Dooley, Butch, and apparently even Pruitt with news of the Jets stuff, didn't do - I could retire and leave my kids enough to not worry about working either.

Bottom line is that Danny White is a [ussy pay].

 

I’m not sure he could stick it to us any worse than he already has for the past 15 plus years...

 

He will get that eventually, regardless. Without having to deal with the repercussions of a dumbass cheating in the dumbest way possible
