Any Tennessee Coaching Changes?

[Dansky]

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 needs to replace himself as OC if his strategy is to keep calling the same 3-4 plays.

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

Sark made some terrible play calls during that sequence. Really cost Texas a chance to tie and possibly win.

Well Banks is on the recruiting trial with Heupel, and has turned down the Miami job.

Turned Clemson down as well.

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.

No and we won't until it happens...that's how CJH runs his ship.

Also, the only newd I've seen or heard about Eck being replaced or leaving has been on this message board...take that for what it's worth.

Ive seen eck rumors off this board.

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.
