Fire Banks? Enough is Enough imo

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

We shoulda won 7-0 then. They want to play elite defense, SHOW IT TO ME THEN.

This team is too soft to be elite anything.

How are people calling to fire the defensive coordinator when we only scored 7 points?

Because his playcalling was absolute incompetence... AGAIN... and he didn't stop their O all day allowing them to play keep away from UT's O.

 

[BearCat204]

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

Ok Jan

Defense lost us this game primarily. How anyone can keep defending this defensive staff is unconscionable. Our philosophy sucks and is fundamentally flawed. I hate it.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Start with the offense that only scored 7 points.

Have you seen the defensive stats???

 

[JMSqb11]

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.

Banks has a good system when the defensive line is getting constant pressure.

In some games he was able to overcome the our Helen Keller Secondary

 

[Rocky Top T]

I never could stand him!!!

 

[Vollifer1949]

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 reasons 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.

So it’s always the coach’s never the players.

Because he sucked against Florida. He sucked in the 2nd half against Bama. He sucked today. Every no name QB has a career day. He sucks when it matters most.

 

[AustinMem]

Saying the Defense lost the game for you when your offense gave the other team as many points as they actually scored for themselves is a bit silly.

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

Have you seen the defensive stats???

Sure. The players and coaches don’t act like they give a damn, why should we?

 

[CoachClick]

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.

Then it will be Heupels down fall cause I can tell you with 100% certainty...Banks IS the problem.

 

[GoVols64]

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

I never said it was all on the offense but the facts of this game are more there than the D. Turnovers killed scoring drives.

Fully agree we should have not let them possess the ball the entirety of the first quarter and gave up far too many 3rd downs. There’s shared culpability but at the end of the day we scored 7. That’s not on Banks.

 

[DaddyChad]

I’m a little hot right now. Would love to know the depth situation at LBer and why Herring was on the field. When one player is beating your team you do something to take them away; we let Schrader single handily beat our ass today with zero adjustments. Herring cannot matchup with his speed on the perimeter or in coverage.

 

[AustinMem]

IMO, defense saw the lack of drive after the pick in the 1st, and checked out.

 

[Checker_the_Shire]

How are people calling to fire the defensive coordinator when we only scored 7 points?

Because the offense hasn’t been the problem in the 3 years Heupel has been here. It was one terrible night to Banks’s every night.

 

[Megatron88]

Who do we fire on offense.

The OC. He can leave with Banks and Martinez

 

[DaddyChad]

Wright killed the offense today. Ten point swing at the end of the first half

 

[JMSqb11]

Wright killed the offense today. Ten point swing at the end of the first half

Yeah. That was not great. The 3 and out after the opening pick wasn’t helpful either.

 

[PEPPERJAX]

How are people calling to fire the defensive coordinator when we only scored 7 points?

Heupel should have hired Connor Stalions.

 

[CoachClick]

We seriously need to go after Mason.

 

[AthensVol2007]

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

Not saying he deserved it or lived up to it, but he finished his career 3rd in GA HS history in every passing stat behind Trevor Lawrence and Deshaun Watson. He did what he did in likely the 3rd best state for HS football in the country.

 

[Woodlawn VOL]

Neither side of the ball played nowhere near their capabilities today. It was a total team butt kicking. We can play much better. Our offense and defense has to pick it up, period. GBO

 

[UTK]

Yeah but look who he was throwing to lol

How are people calling to fire the defensive coordinator when we only scored 7 points?

Did you seriously watch the game? Did you see what Missouri was doing to us in the first half? Did you see ANY and I mean ANY adjustments from Banks? No you didn’t. Yes the offense is too blame but letting their RB pretty much go Christian McCaffrey on us and set records??? Letting them get over 500 yards of offense?
