Yeah the offense **** the bed but ultimately we will be fine there in the long run obviously. The defensive schemes have been atrocious all year. Yes our opponents are allowed to hold all game for whatever reason but when you allow a team to do the same **** all game, it’s on coaching. #44 was horrendous today. The worst linebacker play I’ve ever seen and they kept him out there basically all game. Keep the Dline coach, but the rest of the defensive staff needs to go and go NOW.

Injuries have limited our defense. I’d be fine seeing Martinez go but Banks isn’t the problem. We need more horses and better athleticism at LB and DB.

Turnovers and lopsided TOP aren’t on banks.

Banks is too stubborn. He refuses to change a game plan when it clearly isn’t working. That’s my main issue with him.

Start with the offense that only scored 7 points.

How is lopsided TOP not on Banks? Thats completely on Banks. His defense is what allowed the marathon drives at the start of the game

And the TOP is just as much on Banks as anyone else. Get off the ****ING FIELD FFS and you won’t be on the field all game. It’s beyond dumb when people think it’s all on the offense lol

lol bad game but the defense has been good all year. Doesn’t matter what the defense does if they can’t figure out how to score more than 7 points and win away from home

Defense **** the bed in the second half of Bama, the second quarter of UF and all game today. It’s hard to say they’ve been good. They’ve had their moments because there’s talented guys on the Dline but holy crap the scheme sucks ass

It’s absolutely time.. they had two play makers.. and couldnt put a hat on hat.. 44 could not even match his speed . Just no adjustments… even Drink said their D kicked our ass on O.. so we won’t get started there.. even with a good performance by Joe

Because anyone with a brain knows offense will be fine going forward with Nico. This was always gonna be a rebuild year on offense. Defense has no excuse to be bad as it was today.

You are putting way too many eggs in that basket. You were probably with the group that screamed that Harrison Bailey would be the next Peyton Manning.

I voted no because i think Banks is decent. The secondary is decimated. However, it is on him and Heupel to recruit that. I do think position coaches need to be overhauled.

Unless we can land Derek Mason, I do not see a clear home run hire out there that justifies firing Banks for sake of it.

I always said Harrison Bailey was overrated. Dude got a 5 star last second for no reason. That hype was silly. But Nico is a Bryce Young level talent. Promise

Blah, blah, blah. It’s not gonna happen. Face the music. We are stuck with Banks. Martinez may get fired but I am not even sure about that. Heupel loves Banks. No reason to complain about it really.
