It will be interesting to see if Auburn tries to find a coach with an offensive style similar to that of Coach H, and how many other teams try it out (Nebraska? Purdue?).
Let them.
Anybody can buy a Stradivarius, Fender Strat, or set of Callaways.
Doesn't mean you're gonna be able to do anything with 'em.
It's not just the system. It's the man running it.
Heup is a champion, a winner. Proven. He's still at the beginning of his HC career. I think we're watching him grow into, inhabit his role as a top flight coach. If things hold together (I feel obliged to make that caveat), he stands to get better. He's going to be a force to be reckoned with, for quite awhile.
That's what I think.
I saw a KNS article on Yahoo. A comment pointed out that Jimbo Fisher and Mel Tucker had early success, too.
I don't see a comparison.
Fisher was groomed to take over a powerhouse that, like UT, had suffered decline. He hit big in his 4th year. Then dropped off. Gradually, at first. He let the culture slip away. Looks like TAMU might be undergoing a similar fate, without grabbing the brass ring.
Tucker? Mich. St.? Don't know. Don't care.
Heup appears to me to be quiet, confident, capable, competent. Teams take on the character of their coaches.
Glad to have him. Long live Coach Heup!
BTW -- my neighbor, who works for DHEC and was in epidemiology for awhile, says there's a strain of H3N2 type A going around. I guess that's what he and his wife have been dealing with -- still not completely over it.
I'm wondering if maybe I got a low viral load of it. Hence the relative lack of fever (100, max, briefly). Don't know. Covid test was negative.
Still feel like crap, though. Fatigue. Big time.
