CFB: Heupel Instrumental In Oklahoma Success
Eight years after leading the University of Oklahoma to the title as a quarterback, Josh Heupel is headed back to the big game as a coach. And that comes as no surprise to those in Aberdeen.
Aberdeen Central Athletic Director Gene Brownell remembers Heupel's days in the Hub City. And he says the quarterback always stood out.
"We've watched him grow up as a boy and then as a young man and then obviously into manhood where he was highly successful as an athlete, but also highly successful in the classroom and in life," Brownell said.
After high school, Heupel had a standout career at the University of Oklahoma. In 2000, he was runner-up for the Heisman Trophy and led the Sooners to a perfect 13-0 record, along with a national championship.
"A very intellectually gifted young man who had excellent leadership skills," Brownell said. "Obviously, the kinds of things that you need to be a great quarterback."
Heupel has certainly utilized those skills since his playing days. As the current quarterbacks coach for Oklahoma, he helped sophomore Sam Bradford achieve what he never could: a Heisman Trophy.
"We watched the Heisman Trophy presentation and the 2008 recipient (Bradford), he said a special thanks goes out to Coach Heup. So we were pretty excited by that," Brownell said.
Brownell is happy for Heupel's success. But he's ecstatic that athletes like him are coming from Aberdeen.
"It always excites us when our kids are successful and a lot of kids aren't going to be successful at the level of a Josh Heupel or a Taylor Mehlhaff, but surprisingly so, we've got both of 'em from our school in recent time and we're very proud of both of them," Brownell said.
Go Gophers!!

I wore #39 for my first year of football.
It was either DT or the Fog. Really, there were no other options. Happily, there was not a lot of competition to be "Darrel Thompson" in my friends' backyards in my state.

I think it would be awesome if Foggie were to become a QBs coach (or some other position coach) if Heupel is hired as OC.
