Now Josh Heupel? Will he rescue this program?


I like Josh Heupel as a coach. Only problem with him is that his defenses at UCF got progressively worse, and completely dropped off a cliff last season. In ppg allowed, his teams ranked...

36th in 2018
42nd in 2019
123rd in 2020

As my dear Rebels have shown in previous years, you don't win big games in the SEC without some semblance of a defense. Tennessee ranked 70th in ppg allowed this past season, so Heupel can't let it go much farther down if he wants to win big games.

As the team that had Heupel as our OC, there’s a reason his defenses get worse and worse. It’s the same reason he killed ours, your D, even if you have NFL athletes like we did for one of those seasons, several first have 3 and outs in literally 1 minute roasts your D in the second half. Tennessee will never when more than 8 games with Heupel’s system. His D can not withstand it. You’ll murder bad teams and get roasted vs better and most equal teams.
