So Jake needs to coach QB's to play good more then 1.5 games per year - increase that to 12 games a year and we would be ecstatic (because we are easy to please - I may even stop b****ing about spread) :)

yes..maybe he should tap the x button faster in the off season .

Worley was coming along , got close in a game , won a game and got hurt .

Dobbs is a freshman plain and simple. Alot of upside , just not there yet .

It takes time to build a QB. If it were as easy as 'just couching em up' every team at every level would have a Manning clone

what did you expect out of the DC this year? I already asked you once where your opinion is formed from. Wouldn't mind an answer.

I expect what any person and fan with even an ounce of football knowledge would expect.

I expect not to give up yards and points in record levels.

I expect not to be run out of the damn stadium before halftime regardless of the opponent.

I expect decent fundamentals in lining up properly and tackling.

I don't expect our DC to suddenly quit scraping our LBs to the outside to contain running QBs after it proved to help contain Shaw and USC.

I don't expect our D staff to leave our slow LBs in mid and deep coverage after it's apparent to the opposition that they can't hold coverage.

I don't expect our D staff to go conservative and give up 2 last minute game winning drives (and damn near another to USA) playing cover 2. If your gonna go down at least go down swinging with what got you there to start with. I'd rather see Sutton and Coleman in man coverage than go cover 2 with our LBs and Toney and Swaffords coverage skills.

I would loved to have seen more corner blitzes with Sutton, he was successful when we gave him the chance.

That's a few to start.

you think Saban/Tx is going to happen? Honestly, I haven't read one thing about it. Just hear the name being brought up.

They have the $ and he can win there just as easy as he has at Bama and it wouldn't take long.

I think there is more to it than some want to think. My gut says he stays put.

Then you expected too much from this team this year. Plain and simple.

whatever man. I said Butch would get us to where we need to go. Never said it about Dooley. You and your buds can twist whatever you want. Nothing new there.

Of course you didn't. You never said Dooley would turn us around. You were just there any time anyone said he wouldn't.

Then I'd have to use my old screen name KiFFiNOMiCS.....kind of grown fond of DERELICK though :dunno:

But honestly with Urban Meyer at Ohio State it would be kind of boring.....but him and Franklin could have some choice exchanges though.

Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. :loco: Your dumb a$$ was drinking the Dool-Aid about this time last year, and calling Sunseri a tough SOB, who would instill some discipline in the defense....just months before that. :crazy: Shows how much weight your measly opinion carries.

You b!tch and wail when others question certain coaches or their decisions, and then when they are fired, you jump on the bandwagon, with those you hazed all year long. You're so full of Fail, it's pathetic.

Dang son, can you breathe up there as high as you put yourself on that pedestal????

-having a decent offense would've helped that imo, on point one and point 2. I have those expectations as well, except when other teams have qb's, rb's, te's and wr's that are faster than anybody playing D, I realize what its like to be severely outmanned. NFL scouts have said this is the slowest UT D in memory, and the draft this year and next will prove it
-I thought when we got our pads on people that we tackled better than last year. I thought db's tackled better than last year. I don't recall us routinely lining up wrong on D. I recall communication issues, especially with Randolph out, but I see those every week.
-Not sure we scrapped the lb plan. I recall seeing lb spies on qb's against mizzou and Auburn where we were left in the dust.
-agree 100% on leaving lb's in space. I think we tried some blitzes to get pressure because jsmith was giving us none and left us in mismatches.
-agree on seeing more corner blitzes. Seems it worked well when we disguised and called it. Not so sure we ran cover 2 the entire last drive against Vandy. I would rather not see swafford, toney and probst on the field at the same time regardless.

Coaches weren't error free by any means, but we had guys in places to make plays quite often and didn't have the speed or instinct to make them. First one I recall is when UF backup comes in, keeps the ball from the 5 (going right to left on the tv), we have 3 guys waiting for him, he makes one move, nobody touches him and he walks in.
At least you can discuss your opinion, so props to you.

Evidently you expected too less. Plain and simple.

Talent wasn't there to be championship contenders but there was enough to be much better than we were. No excuse in losing to a putrid UF team that tried every way in the world to give us a win and no excuse for losing to Vandy with 2 weeks to prepare and end up looking worse than we did in week 3.

We'll get better. The talent will get better which will make the coaching easier and better, but I refuse to call this season anything other than what it was. A complete failure? NO, a little disappointing and a couple of wasted opportunities? YES.

and that's pretty much the same as me man. I didn't expect all the takeaways on D and didn't expect our D to be the one to keep is in some games, which it did against Ga, SC and Vandy, which is why I didn't think they overall coached as bad as some say.

At times to vent, yes. A good outlet for frustration.
I prefer accurate discussion of points and debate about what happens on the court/field more than anything. Just like the points with Joey. Nothing wrong with that discussion and opinions even if they vary.
