I think a good place to look first is personnel on defense who are not getting it done.

You can generally see where the offense was hurting you most and have an idea who could not have been making plays. If Missouri runs 20 plays in one drive then they are getting 3 and 4 yard gains consistently.

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.

Nico is going to be working behind a completely rebuilt O-line. Or haven't you noticed that every one of them is a senior?

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.

🤣🤣 of course it wasn't that we couldn't score more than 7 points. Defense held them to 13 points at the half. Offense turned the ball over 3 times. This was a team effort on the loss.

We have good size replacing this line. Plus potential portal guys. Last thing I’m worried about is the offensive line next year.

Anyone with half a brain knew that Third Choice was a liability when he never adjusted to Matt Corral on the QB draw. That was 25 months ago and the D talent has two more years of experience and they just got destroyed by a former D2 player. Again there was a reason two other people turned us down before he got the job.

I've been one of his biggest defenders. I can't justify these blowouts anymore. One player on their offense decimated our entire defense for an entire game. We never find a solution for one guy. Their receivers were downfield without a Tennessee player within 20yds of them about 5-7 times. No solution. Safety valves coming out of the backfield uncovered over and over again. No solution.
That is the difference between us and almost every other top 25 team. We don't adjust. We don't shut open doors.

I keep saying this and getting ripped for it. Heupel needs to fire Banks or his rotund ass will be on the hot seat….

Banks will not be on the hot seat. He has a top 25 defense in the country from 92 last year. If he's fired, it's not because of the work he's done and he'll have a lawsuit. That's the truth...like it or not.

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

I see your point, but still, when you watch our tackling, how we defend the pass, how out of position we are, how we kept trying to cover #7 with #44, etc, you can't help but question the coordinator.

A lawsuit? If he filed a lawsuit he would never work again. WTF are you talking about lawsuit?I don’t even know if he’s under contract after this season. If he is and you want to make a change you fire him and pay him what he’s owed. Lawsuit…….

I stand by what I said. If Banks is fired when we have a top 25 defense, it's not because of the job he's done.

Got to get off the field on 3rd down and stop 10 minute drives. Although allowing conversions on 3rd and long are a Tennessee tradition…..no matter who’s leading
