Heupel???
giphy.gif
Josh Heupel sent a scathing rejection to Penn State on Monday, suggesting the Big Ten program had “low expectations” in comparison to Tennessee.
“I wouldn’t want low expectations,” Heupel said of PSU, via On3. “That’s part of why I want to be here. We’ll win big.”
 

“Wouldn’t want low expectations”?

Man you just got boatraced by Vandy on your own field. The only thing winning big is your diabetes medication budget, tubby.

Are they speaking directly to America or are they clarifying Denton is indeed in America (it is, I checked)?  Either way, strangely worded announcement.

Reads like an announcement to America? Agree that it's worded funny. But, UNT, right?

I don’t know why, but the “Welcome home” in so many announcement posts bothers me when the guy has no previous ties to the program or area. 

Feels like that phrase should be reserved for guys returning to their alma mater, home state/area, or a school that they at least had some sort of previous connection to. 

Sounds dumb to say welcome home to a guy that has no connection to a place and will leave the moment he has some success and someone offers him more money.

Liam doesn't know anything he isn't reading on the internet.

The church does not pay for athletics (and does not need to). BYU athletics are self-funded (and in the black always) and coaches salaries are mostly/completely paid for with donor money. However, the Board of Trustees for BYU includes top leaders of the church. Any major deals and offers -- like a Kalani raise and extension and same for his staff -- require their approval. 

As anyone who tried to get season tickets for the AJ Dybantsa year for BYU hoops knows, there are a LOT of donors with big money behind BYU, most of it is behind the scenes. It's not just a few people like some schools. 

Fwiw... (csb?)

To my knowledge, BYU also wants there to be several/many donors involved in any one specific endeavor.  I know this from friends/colleagues involved w/ BYU and a handful of anecdotes shared with me.  When my son played lacrosse at Texas, they played both Utah and BYU in the same year.  Utah was in its final year before becoming a D1 team, and proceeded to demolish Texas.   BYU did, too. 

When talking to some of the BYU parents at the game, I reflected on Utah becoming a D1 team.  One BYU dad said, "Yes.  One guy is donating enough to endow the program into perpetuity.  He came to us first and the AD declined.  Did not want a single donor with that much influence over the program.  So he went to Utah and they said yes."

Now, that could be more of BYU hating on Utah, but I had heard similar stories at other times.

lol, the way they describe it makes it seem like Heupel sat down and wrote a dickish email to the PSU AD after interviewing. In fact, he’s just offering some quotes to the UT faithful to sooth hurt feelings. He didn’t write Pat Kraft and say “I’ll pass cause your expectations are too low.” 
 

I can’t say enough how dumb sports journalism is, especially the closer you get to school-focused outlets like the On3 stringer.

so like whos gonna coach psu next year?

Lotta fans wanted the interim tag taken off of Terry Smith, but that may just be idiot students. Dicking around is the worst thing they could do as it’s going to cost them a class worth of recruits.

Would not surprise me if true, especially because we are not desperate for donors.

PSU fucking this entire thing up is well deserved. They are lucky to have a program to fuck up at this point.

I like the line of thinking. PSU needs a splash hire, with them missing out on all high profile college coaches.

Grabbing Gruden, or some NFL rando. With the right wordsmithing, it could be *spun into a "high profile, splash hire".
