Any Tennessee Coaching Changes?

N D has a lot of talent and they have put it on display so far in the playoffs. The two most disapponting teams in the Palyoffs have been Texas and Georgia. Both have tons of talent and both had problems with the Q B play. Texas has kept their best QB on the bench and Georgia appears to need a new QB to enter the picture. I think most of us knew Alabama was down and will like remain out of the top two teams in the SEC. I think Tennessee will be as good or better than they were this past season. I believe our Oline will be better, or WRs will be better, and the LBs will get better with experience. The QB play will slap improve and we will.for the fist time in a couple of years, have adequate backups. A lot of SEC teams lost a lot of good QBs this year.

It’s great to be so optimistic. I sure hope you’re right. On paper we have a relatively easy schedule next year, like this years. Will we improve our performance or just have a good record, only to be exposed by good teams?

I’m pretty sure we saw some different wrinkles this year with the different two tight sets and different blocking schemes really contributing to the run game and I think that shows Josh is willing to innovate

The problem seems to be more related to elite talent in the passing game from the wide receivers and pass blockers. Nico seemed like he never had time to throw or had to hurry his throws and even when he go those throws off he either over threw or the receivers dropped them.

So I think that’s actually what’s gonna keep us a second tier program, talent acquisition and development

Good point about our running game, the salvation of our offense this past year. Our OL earned their money creating our running game. Agree we seriously need to upgrade our talent and player development. Hard to see how we do that unless we either change a few coaches or they suddenly have a road to Damascus rebirth.

Heupel need to replace the O-line and WRs coach. You better get Nico some help or he might just transfer after next season. Beck left Georgia and went to Miami.

Beck's girlfriend goes to Miami. She is too pretty to be his gf because of his looks, gotta be the big NIL money he's getting from Miami.

Maybe hire one of the "best offensive minds in football", Sarkisian. First and goal inside the 1 year line and calls a toss sweep.

Are you sure somebody executed their assignment? I don’t like the call either but when I have been critical of Heupel, I’ll go back and look to see if everybody played their assignment and usually 80% of the time they didn’t.

Not saying he will leave anyway, but it isn’t uncommon at all for assistant coaches to hit the trail after the season ends and still wind up leaving.

I remember an interview Coach O had where at USC when Pete Carroll was coming in they told all assistants if you want a chance to stay to get on the recruiting trail, he was the only one who did so and ended up being the only one retained

Calling Georgia disappointing is an odd standard. They’re likely still playing if Theo QB doesn’t have a season ending injury.

I don’t think any team could make it with their backup QB to the NC

Assignment? The play call was dumb AF. On the 1, you don’t run toss sweep when you have that kind of Oline talent. Got to believe they could get 1 yard with that talent if not for that play call killing them. I guarantee you Sark is asking himself why he was so stupid.

Yeah I’m sure he is and I agree it’s a high risk play for losing yards but if the line does their job, it can go for positive yards or what team would run it and several do?

Who recruited the players?

The coaches. So yes, it is all on them.

Oh good grief! Seriously? (Maybe you forgot to blue font that, and I'll apologize.)

Like they could've landed better players but instead chose the ones they got!

Recruiting is not like going to the butcher shop, pointing through the glass case and saying, "I want that one, that one, aaand the one next to that one..."

The success rate for a car salesman is about 2% -- they sell a car to only 2 out of every 100 customers who come to them looking for a car. They're usually competing against only 4-8 other dealerships.

We're competing against at least 20-30 solid-to-excellent teams for every top recruit out there! The families are shopping, listening, developing trust relationships, and their teenage boys are trying to be smart with the biggest decision of their inexperienced lives.

The coaches are also shopping, looking for any reason why this boy might not fit their position coach's style, might not flourish here, might not be conducive to a great locker room.

Getting to the top tier, getting to where you're choosing between this 5-star and that 5-star, is the hardest climb in sports. How many teams ever make it to that level? How many years did it take us the first time, from Dickey to Battle to Majors to Fulmer, to become that shining destination program landing top 5 classes every year? Thirty years. And recruiting is much more competitive now than it was then.

Every recruiting win today deserves its own celebration. 🤔 Maybe that should become a new Vols fans tradition -- enjoy the wedding reception and the congratulations, instead of sitting down in front of a computer and comparing your new bride to all the other women who got married that month.
Just a thought.

And on top of all the factors you listed, now you add the most influential factor of all: Who’s offering the biggest check?
