This column is the first in a series of weekly survey questions. That might seem hypocritical to anyone who knows I never answer survey questions.
But my literary contributors answer them.
This week’s question is related to Tennessee football coach Josh Heupel, who just completed his third season with the Vols. I asked some of my literary contributors where they thought Heupel would be in three more years and what would be the state of Tennessee football at that time.
Here’s a sample of the responses:
Marie writes: The last 3 years have definitely been better than the last decade but I’m afraid if Josh can’t get a smart fast athletic QB it could start going downhill (as in running downhill).
Defense has to stay on the field too long and that isn’t a good look. What ever happened to cornerbacks?
Josh may need to buy a QB and some defensive backs or it may start getting warm in Knoxville.
My response: In a best-case Tennessee scenario, Nico Iamaleava will handle the quarterback duties with talent and flair. And perhaps, the Vols can land a Colorado cornerback once players realize Prime Time is better at promoting himself than a program.
Shemp writes: I think we overestimated Hopeful as he made last year’s run with players he didn’t recruit and it always galls me that he picked Millstone over Hooker in the first place. Where he is in three years depends equally on what happens at other schools.
My response: Not sure why Heupel ever thought Milton was a good fit for his offense. But I believe Heupel is an excellent offensive coach if he has the right quarterback.
Glenn writes: Josh Heupel will continue to head the program in the future. His teams will be entertaining and fun to watch, but won’t win any championships in the conference realignment or national playoffs.
The road losses at South Carolina last year…
