Just to clear up the dissatisfaction...

[The Tall Gguy]

From what I am seeing, the outrage and dissatisfaction is not because of a 7-4 record. It is because of the effort or lack thereof and not even being competitive in those 4 losses.

Sums it up.

Truth

100%

There’s a stark difference in mixing it up with the best in the conference and taking some bad breaks and losing a few on the last drive, and what we’ve done this year. Beaten into submission and never once displayed a will to take it back, times four

Is it really a lack.of effort as much as we were simply worn down on defense? Sure, there were some lapses where players showed poor effort. But generally speaking I think our offense was inefficient, and our defense could not hold up over the course of the game. And unfortunately, we were also outmatched in the trenches the last two games. But, I wouldn't put it as an effort issue. Maybe a lack of discipline and focus st times.

My fandom has regressed back to some Butch and Poot Gump days. Eerily similar.

Exactly

The players act like they don't care

Got some coaches acting the same way, we thought we were passed this type foolishness,

Georgia has a championship level team, Tennessee has a marketing/spin/hype machine of immense scale with big money flying around well beyond anything we have seen before, White Danny seems unconcerned about a middle of the road season this year in the conference,

 

[Hbg]

Milton was laughing on the sideline towards the end of the game. Not a good look.

Look at the QB, the so called leader. He is cool Joe all the time. Doesn’t really look like he cares.

What coaches are you talking about? Also what are you basing this opinion of Danny White on? Or are you just spewing your usual nonsense?

Yet you claim to support him

 

[Smokey7]

Pathetic and pitiful effort. An F for effort

He's always been the guy with a smile or bobble head with headphones on.

He doesn't have intensity in his gut or fire in his eyes.

Only way it could have been said better is if would have said it first.

Especially the QB.

 

[Voljayton]

Joe's like that stoner friend that was fun as hell to hang out with but not a chance you'd hire him for a job.

 

[Eddie Vol Halen]

No dogs. No Al Wilson personality on the team. Hate to generalize but very Gen-Z team. That seems to reflect Milton to a tee.

For all that though, remember, Josh Dobbs willed this team to 8-wins. This team will win 8 without that kind of performer at any position. And we won 11 last year. Not sure Josh H. is or ever will be a Saban or Smart. But this is still a quality team that we haven't seen since the Fulmer days. If Nico is a leader and if we can pick up some LB leaders in the portal or a ball hunting safety - we may be competitive next year. If we can find some players who can pick up a team from 21 - 3 down to undefeated Arkansas, we'll be in the hunt and in the mix.

(I think CJH has to think about his defensive coaching set-up. He may need to shake that up.)

No dogs. No Al Wilson personality on the team. Hate to generalize but very millenial team. That seems to reflect Milton to a tee

Youngest millennials are 28. Some of us are 40 now. No one on the team is a millennial, but Joe seems like he has been in college for 20 years.

Same with Guarantano he never improved and the coach rode him to the very end, so many similarities.

 

[voltoo]

We need DB's who can play man to man. The commentators said TN didn't blitz last night because our DB's couldn't cover man to man. We need to focus on recruiting highly skilled DB's and hiring a coach that can actually coach Db's.

 

[MurphyVol]

137-53 was the combined scores in our losses. The last two were 74-17

We scored 9 second half points in those 4 losses (all against UF).
