Josh Heupel. Gracious in defeat. Not.
We’re in Day 1 of the Great Afterglow following the Arkansas football team’s knockout of No.4 Tennessee team in Fayetteville, and despite all the good vibes I can’t shake the gnawing feeling something isn’t right. Specifically, with the way Tennessee football coach Josh Heupel handled his post-game press conference last night.
Josh Heupel, who’s the least likely looking man to have QB’d a college national championship team yet somehow did, provided an example of the script not to follow when handling defeat.
Head Hog Sam Pittman opened his statements with “Tennessee has a very physical team” and saying the Vols are “very good,” the kinds of things he says when on the losing side of the game as well.
