Yes, because your coach left you to go to an inferior program...
...wake up, this is the SEC and you are--hell no body knows what conference you are in, and no one gives a frick. You're a gnat on the arse of the great programs.
I'm rather enjoying UT's dumpster fire but even if nothing changes in 10 years, it's STILL not some also-ran directional school. UT at its WORST is still a "big 6" school in the SEC and the most important program in the state.
You are, at best, 4th in Florida?
Go away piss ant.
Having said that..you did upgrade your coach. Gus Malzahn beat Nick Saban more than anyone else. That's not for nothing. UT just hired a guy who can't maintain a good thing (or even his own health) and I for one can't wait to celebrate 20 in a row on them....because frick Tennessee.

I hate to take up for him, but right now he's right.
Right now Tennessee isn't a dumpster fire. They're what remains of the dumpster fire after the fire department's left. The charred remains of a week's worth of dirty diapers, rotting food, and empty plastic containers all floating in 2,000 gallons of water.
Tennessee has a better history. Being an original member of the SEC Tennessee has a vastly higher potential ceiling. Those two things make it an attractive job for an ambitious G5 coach but in terms of actual current status it isn't a contest at all.

UCF is a better program and job than Tennessee.

yes that's an upgrade for UCF.

Proof that this axiom still holds true: even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Tennessee is the SEC version of Texas Tech.

Speaking of Tennessee Tech, are they still starting their football season next week? College football in Feb may be interesting to watch, even if its the Ohio Valley Conference
Heupel better watch out. Tech is getting a whole Spring to play games. It may not be as easy a rent a win as they wanted sandwiched in Sept between Pitt and UF.

They didn’t. At worst it’s a push.

Again, based on what? Malzahn has proven he'll win 8 games a year at the 3rd best program in the West. Malzahn has also proven he has a ceiling of winning the SEC. Gus winning 8-9 games a year with a 10 win season sprinkled in makes him the best coach at Tennessee since 1990s Fulmer.
Heupel hasn't proven he can do that at all. He's had 3 teams and each was worse than the UCF team from the year before.
Is it possible Heupel had a higher ceiling? I mean theoretically I guess.

That's why top coaches are flocking to Vanderbilt. History will NOT repeat itself in Tennessee for at least 10 more years. Maybe 20 years if the NCAA hits them hard.

Style of play, ability to fit a system to players instead of forcing fitting players to a system. Heupel has had 1 off year and it was due to Covid opt outs on D. At Tennessee he will get the full support of a P5 program and will win or lose based on merit and ability.
Gus is a known quantity and teams have figured him out. Without elite QB talent he just isn’t very good. Hiring him would be settling for mediocrity and tantamount to giving up.

Bama doesn’t want to play UCF anytime soon now. All Knights on the Bus!

Heupel's offenses have some of the worst splits when you compare playing good defenses and bad defenses of anybody I've ever seen - both at Missouri and at UCF. They put up 8.0 YPP and 60 pts against UConn and ECU and then 5.50 YPP and 27 pts against Cincinnati and Tulsa.
That last year at Missouri they "led the SEC" in YPG
vs Non-Winning FBS Teams (6 games)
51 PPG
580 YPG
7.6 YPP
vs Winning FBS Teams (6 games)
18 PPG
373 YPG
5.8 YPP
They had similar YPP splits between P5/Cincy/Tulsa compared to the rest of the schedule in the last 2 seasons, too.

He's GREAT for a team like UCF. How can anyone argue that one?
Tennessee and Auburn screwed themselves bigly.
Right now, Malzahn could take UCF and beat either one of these teams next year.
How does anyone not see this? other than Auburn fans sticking their heads in the sand. *note: Tennessee fans already know this.

You are all over the place. You know AU is in its current position because of Malzahn, right? He has never been a great gameday coach. JH has proven he can win with talent. It is his recruiting that is suspect.

Auburn did fine. I don't think Harsin will be any worse than Malzahn and they had the same guy, who wasn't elite, for 7 seasons. That thing had worn itself out.

It happened b/c Tenner told the world they just committed major violations and invited the NCAA to crush the program all to avoid paying a buyout.
