Coaching is the Issue

[VolTom1]

Josh has to make changes to the staff. I seriously think he is a good guy, but he has to be more cut throat, I know culture/family are important, but when you have family issues sometimes you have to disown your children. Seriously though there is no reason we play worse every year since 2022 while having more talent other than player development, aka coaching. The definition of insanity is to do the same thing over and over expecting a different result, changes are needed.

Huge overhauls need to be made for this A tier team that made the playoffs. I would be so embarrassed if WVU was this bad.

 

[Nicovfl8]

Serious changes needed to the offense. You know what u have to do Josh and the fans know to.

Go pay Alex Golesh 5 million a year to be OC again

Tonya Harding is joining our staff as LB coach...she's as cut throat as it comes.

I’d never disown my child.

We are no where near as talented as Ohio state. Nick Saban coaching us tonight wouldn’t have helped. The players on that field are the reason we aren’t on the level we think we are. Tonight was painfully obvious of that.

What position coaches are you thinking?

 

[volbound1700]

Facebook told me that Tom Brady was coming to be our OC. Isn't that correct?

Yes. They clearly do and they need to start with ellarbee, Martinez and Pope.

Fans are stupid, and that's being nice. Have you listened to people talk ball? Good lordt....

 

[Rocky Top T]

If Elarbee and Banks aren't fired, Heupel is not serious about the team getting better

What do mean?

 

[djwes]

Fully disagree. This was predominantly a coaching loss. Yes there is a talent gap with Tennessee and Ohio State, but there was zero evidence of a plan tonight. There were no adjustments. The biggest difference in this game is Ohio State has very good offensive and defensive coordinators who built a plan that suits the athletes they have.

Tennessee walked into this game like they were drunk and hung over and had no idea they were playing football

Whatever it takes. Nothing wrong with kneecapping a few opposing guys before every game.

 

[CNCVol88]

No. Banks is fine. Ellarbee, Pope and Martinez on the other hand

 

[McDad]

Not only will he fire them, they will commit seppuku to atone for their failures.

Nick Saban’s preparation and game plan would have us in the Rose Bowl next week.

South Florida went 4-4 in the AAC and 6-6 overall.

Uh. West Virginia was 6-7 this year. They were nowhere near as "this bad" as 10-2, they were monumentally worse.

Coaching staff isnt near good enough and that may include Josh hinself.

Ok fire DC who is up for asst coach of year voting. We just had bad matchups against a motivated and talented team, and obviously flawed game plan. I don’t suspect any changes.

 

[Midas]

Banks absolutely is not fine. You can’t keep getting gashed the same way against good teams and not make adjustments and be fine. OSU saw UGA use motion, that we didn’t blitz against them, and set up routes down the seams and to boundaries and attacked us the same way. How can he not make adjustments for that?

 

[VOLtaism]

Realistically we are not even in the competition. Its a money game now and the 20 million plus guys won it this year. The 30 million dollar guys will win it next year. Huepel and his staff are out-coached in big games in any case. I thought Indiana and SMU did not belong in the top 12 , turns out it was UT that did not belong.
