Who chose and "coached" that QB? Who called the plays?
Ah yes... Its Dooley's fault that the OL wasn't made the focal point of the game. It was his fault that Jones kept punting on 4th and short. It is certainly Dooley's fault that Neal is now so scared of getting chewed out that he won't even take a wide open cutback for a big gainer. It is DD's fault that UT kept kicking to their playmakers.
It's Dooley's fault that we have hardly any talent on our roster. Attrition and ****ty evaluating has made this team just as bad as 2010. Neal always had problems making decisions on where to go. It just happens that it's the opposite of bouncing out all the time. Bad coaching takes awhile to correct
Shall I go on? If I were complaining about a reasonably good showing... then you'd have a point. This was a historic loss and a VERY poor coaching job.
Oregon talent + speed vs. Tenn no talent = what did you expect! We are so terrible that we have to start freshmen AGAIN! If you didnt expect any bumps in the road, I'd be amazed.
Yes it does. When you hire someone to be better than the guy you fired then you expect them to perform better than the guy you fired. This wasn't better... by a long stretch.
Dooley's 2012 5-7 team has more talent than this one. We are a 5 win team, and to win 7 games is progress. The goal is getting into a bowl game. Lets see if he does it before we call for his head. You don't even know what kind of a job he'll do against the gators.
This is such an overused piece of BS. MUCH more often than not, the "right coach" makes an IMMEDIATE impact by BEING A BETTER COACH on the field. NOTHING done today suggests this staff is an upgrade. Maybe they'll pull it together.... but this is a huge strike against them.
How can this be a huge strike against them? It's one of the worst talented teams in UT history, and they played a team almost as good as Alabama. Also, this team is in the 3rd game of a new scheme, while Oregon has done the same for 6 years. Those impacts do not often make an extreme difference in one year. Once again, Our goal is to go to a bowl game this year.
No. Evaluate constantaly and cummulatively. This was pathetic. Give me one reason... just one... from the performance of this coaching staff today that should make me believe that. Just one. UT was out of the game by the end of the 1st qtr.
Receivers were open on offense, and there were some holes. The play calling was stale, and I hate punting. Butch has improved the discipline of this team. Even though Oregon beat the crap out of them, they didn't have last year's bad demeanor.
Yeah, that makes sense. A team without confidence needs to lose by the largest margin in 100 years on national tv.
If this team has real mental fortitude, they will learn from all their mistakes and do better. This is a teaching tool for our young team for what big boy football will be. This will tell our team that we need to be more prepared for our SEC opponents. This will make our players work harder this next week for Florida.
Maybe the coaching staff needed it... but the team did not. Now let's see who gets blamed and pays the price.
This team made just as many mistakes as the coaches. I'm glad the wake up call came early for all parties.
