Josh Heupel is a reflection of the average coach Tennessee had after Neyland's retirement until Fulmer was fired.
Tennessee has never had a dynasty; it's only won two REAL national titles in its history. Heupel has about a .699 win percentage, and has done so while navigating the program through probation, which won't end until July 2028.
You are guilty of remembering something that never happened the way you say it did. While Tennessee won more games and had the highest win percentage in the nation from 1926-2004, it did so by winning more consistently than everyone else.
A not insignificant Vol presence today in Oxford. These guys told me they paid $600 a ticket to “hate watch” Lane Kiffin tonight. As one said to an Ole Miss fan: “Please go belt to ass on him!”
😱😱 A man is driving home, casually talking to his wife, the conversation completely ordinary. Then, in a split second, everything changes, a crash out of nowhere. The car jolts violently, airbags explode around him, noise and dust filling the cabin as reality hits all at once. Situations like this are sobering. One second you’re in routine mode, the next your life is shaken, literally. It’s a powerful reminder to stay present, drive carefully, and never take “just another drive” for granted.
How quickly do we forget how fragile every normal moment really is?

I’m on record saying i feel partly responsible for the fall of Tennessee football. I was a captain on the 08 team that got Fulmer fired. Since we’ve watched bad football and bad coaching for 10+ years. 2024 Tim banks lead a NATIONALLY top 10 def. A staff I’m proud to say i was apart of. 2022 Heup took this program to 11 wins. 1st time since 2001. A playoff appearance in 2024. 1st ever. All while on probation cause of past coaches. To hear people saying that’s not good enough is INSANE! Comparing Josh to a coach that just got fired. INSANE 🤦🏾♂️ Remember where we came from. We can be grateful for what we have while wanting championships. VFL 🧡🍊
I’m confused…what’s wrong with 9-11 wins a year? This is just dumb and promotes an unrealistic mindset on what sports really are. We act like it’s 2 national champions in football, it’s ONE. If you’re getting 9-11 wins, you’re knocking at the door constantly til it’s your time.
