    In all seriousness, I worry about him. I'm not making a diagnosis, but pointing out those are all characteristics of a person struggling with depression.

    all guesswork and could just be really disappointed and flat pissed at how this seasons gone from dealing with Nico to Boo to injuries and disappointment on the field.
    He also lost his mom in the last year. Who know how that affected him or if he had time to mourn.
    I still think if people are gonna crack on physical appearance they need to share a pic or stick with football issues. He could have some thyroid issues or something none of our business. I don’t think he sits around eating twinkies all day

    As someone who has dealt with depression stuff previously, I’ve had the same thought about him. Never mentioned it because I’ve seen the shit show making an observation like that about someone causes in the politics forum.

    If that is something he’s struggling with, dealing with this fan base in the coming months isn’t going to help at all.

    Any truth to the Heupel to Penn State smoke? It’s not a lot but it’s out there.

    Yeah, definitely not claiming it's what's going on, but could be much more to the story on that front.

    Who is Penn State targeting? Kind of weird they fired their coach forever ago and I’ve not really heard anything about it other than Cignetti, which was over a good bit ago.

    I think if someone feels overwhelmed with their job, they might act a lot like Heupel. A person doesn't have to be fun/funny/charismatic to seem relaxed. He rarely seems relaxed.

    Guess we will see but could be he’s a competitor and hated the way this season ended up going and knew how pissed fans would be as well. He may realize this is a time fans are more upset after a loss than players. He doesn’t take it out on reporters or yell or slam the table and never will. Somewhere in between with emotion would be nice.

    Seems like it has to be a real off the radar home run or a total flop at this point.

    Sort of points toward something I mentioned in another thread about Golesh maybe having been Heupel's Cutcliffe. "He let our nuts hang" - a quote from one of the players present when he took over after Frost. Heupel seems to be a players coach who needs stricter assistants beneath him.

    They look like they don’t even tackle in practice.

    If I was a HFC at Tennessee and Vandy just [itch bay]-slapped my guys, I would feel depressed too.

    [uck fay]ing Vandy, give me a break. This was not the result I wanted (nor expected) to see with my son, live-action. Dammit, [uck fay]ing Vandy.

    Do we need to bring in Dooley to do a Shower Etiquette seminar for coaches?

    If he starts wearing his buff over his head like a turtle, then I'll be worried. I'll allow going a week without shaving, prior to game day. Maybe it is a superstition? Who knows?
    If he wins nobody cares if he has Mike Leach approach to grooming.

    For sure will affect his mentality and can hit him out of the blue!

    Also I dress nice but I only shave when I want to. Which is when my wife complains or I need to do something in public where I need to look nice LOL.

    I struggle with weight and watch what I eat. Does he have the time to calculate his dietary needs? With his money he should hire a dietitian that is on board with Keto. Let them fix his meals.

    I do wonder about the cough though? Does he have asthma or allergies?
