It doesn’t work… it never has…

Their defense they weren’t good defensively a year ago

Much improved this year

If Nico & WRs make plays that were there, they score 40 on Bama.

No coach can stay at UT long term if there is a program he cannot beat. Heupel has yet to come close to beating a Kirby led UGA team. The clock is ticking on him getting it done. He took a superior UT team on both sides of the ball to UGA and lost due to coachng IMO.

Well Fulmer stuck around awhile, and so did Majors. They famously had teams they couldn’t beat often.

Defenses have adjusted, starting w/ Okie. 6 DB's with a safety under in the middle. Our receivers have not been able to make plays against man coverage. We are not good right now at WR getting separation or even catching the damn ball. Other teams are daring us to run to slow us down. We will evolve, Hype is not stupid but we need to upgrade at WR. Players make plays and or Wr's are not consistently making plays. Speed kills IE. Hyatt and Squirrel. We have people coming next year with that kind of speed.

Times have changed. These days you get 5 years, tops.

Yeah, it's frustrating.

...but no Tennessee coach is getting fired winning 2 out of 3 against UGA, Alabama and Florida.

If employers hired and fired workers with the same level of expectations you fans put on players and coaches, 90% of you would never be able to hold onto jobs.

Excellent point. These fools seem to think that perfection is required for a coach to be good.

Newsflash to the morons…it isn’t.

In the 11 seasons prior to CJH taking this job, UT won 3 and lost 30 games against the “good teams” … Fl, Ga and Al. There is no denying that these are the measuring sticks.

In the past 3 seasons, CJH has gone 4-5. Also beat LSU. And 3-0 in bowl games, including a major bowl victory over Clemson.

That is not getting his “ass whipped” by the good teams, OP. Quite the contrary.

And CJH is not on any sane fan’s hot seat.

And going 10-2 with a very likely playoff berth. The delusion on here blows my mind.

What gets me is they hate on Hypel for struggling with Georgia while ignoring Kirby’s horrible performance against Bama

Kirby Smart, head coach of the Georgia Bulldogs, has a 1-6 record against the University of Alabama Crimson Tide:

I will happily endure some 9-4 ,11-2 seasons for a good while. We've been in the desert for far too long. I think some of yall forgot.

If you think about it the South Carolina loss & Arkansas loss have kept us out of the mix in 2 of the last 3 years.

We're still in the mix

Ok ok then just look at the info as more of giving of facts.


It seems very concerning to me that CJH scores dang near half the pts when he plays good teams as when he plays the bad ones. That’s a 5 year trend that can’t be a good sign going forward


Taking the emotion away we all know it’s reasonable to score less points against good teams but IMO when those numbers are dang near half that’s just too large of a discrepancy to ignore

I know this is an old thread, but shouldn’t that be expected? When you play better teams, points aren’t so easy to score. When you have all the right pieces, you can light up good defenses. We just haven’t had that since Hooker and company. However, we have built a strong defense. We don’t have to score 50 points a game to win. If our offense can marginally improve next season we will be a championship caliber team assuming our defense is still good.

CJH is supposed to be some offensive genius…. Well he isn’t and never has been..


Hear me out.

I’ve gone back and studied all of his 5 years coaching offense in the SEC(1 game shy) and the results are glaring. The man feast on bad teams, runs up stats and routinely gets embarrassed by the good defenses.

Here are the results when you look at his pts per game against OOC opponents(not counting bowls) vs his pts per games vs 9 win SEC teams…


CJH offenses average 44 pts a game against the lesser SEC teams and OOC opponents.



CJH offenses average 23 pts a game against 9 win SEC teams. (Keep in mind that incudes 52(bama), 45 (Kentucky) and 40(LsU) so without those 3 that’s awful.




So let’s face reality. No QB named Nico is going to make this offensive scheme better. Heck we played one good defense a year ago and were embarrassed with a a very good QB in hooker.

We have a coach that puts up big numbers against bad teams and gets his fat ass whipped against good ones. Always has and always will!

I really don't come in to the FF very much and each time I do I am reminded why that is. To say "you have gone back and studied" I don't think that is quite the case. In order to study a subject one has to have the prerequisite knowledge from which to scaffold from or they will not be able to grasp the material. I believe this is the problem here.
In short, you have to know more than jack and squat about football before you can discuss or"study" it meaningful and not sound like a fool.
