re: Heupel buyout being discussed in the Tennessee AD?

Although I don't believe a word of this, you're wrong. I know many ppl including myself that would have gladly taken Kiffin as head coach for TN the last coaching hire. When Kiffin was at TN he said straight up the only place he'd leave Knoxville for was USC, the job came open & he took it. While I agree the way he left was shotty...he has since regretted it. Would most ppl take him back in Knoxville I'd say yes, but who knows about the AD & company. There's always some that will disagree with me but most I think would welcome him with open arms. I still think Alex Golesh could be special, but I don't think Heupel is going anywhere. However he better make a lot of changes after the season is done or he's going to be on a short leash.

Some of those morons thought he'd consider coming out of retirement for LSU.

Elko is going to PSU. Sooner you realize it the better. A&M will not pay what is necessary to keep him.

Your AD was brought in to change that thinking. Your money is for the players, and you just need a decent X’s and O’s coach. He’s slashing millions off the books with each highly paid coach that leaves

If Elko leaves then he leaves but it won’t be because of money.

Boomers (old people like the OP, not Oklahoma) have been falling for Richard G. West tweets for YEARS.

Here's what's gonna happen....heupel leaves Tennessee and comes to Oklahoma to be the....wait for it....co-head coach that specializes in only the offensive side of the ball, skeletor is co head on the other side. If we found the right special teams coach, we'd offer him the head coaching position and have tri-head coaches.....its the future man.

On one hand, 10-2 in the SEC should be automatic for the playoffs.
On the other hand, he's 6-11 against final CFP ranked teams (and 2 of those wins were in the Orange Bowl and Citrus Bowl).
