How do we "Engineer" a dynamic Athletic Department?Heupel did not work for Frost. Heupel was the OC at Mizzou and UCF hired him to replace Frost. Of interest, the UCF AD who hired Heupel was Danny White. UT then hired Danny White to take over as AD and his first big coaching move was to bring Heupel to Knoxville. I wasn't a fan at the time but looks like a good decision so far.
As I'm getting older I'm starting to realize that good coaches are made by good Athletic Departments. It's the only reason that makes sense when you see things like Scott Frosts situation. It's hard for the best coach to thrive in a bad environment. That's why just firing Collins will not help no matter who the next coach is. Need to fix the entire AD.
