Kirby Smart takes subtle shot at Vols

"It's like, a true quarterback is a decision-maker in our system because some systems take all the pressure off the quarterback and they just go really fast," said Smart. "We don't do that. We're a quarterback-driven offense, so can you process the information.”

I’m SURE it’s a coincidence

Yeah the I Formation with a big OL and straight handoffs 60% of the time is QB Driven. Ok lol

 

[utvolpj]

Stetson sure has turned out to be a great decision maker

Actually, it’s not even subtle. He’s genuinely worried.

Kirby, like the name brand vacuum cleaner....sucks.

 

[ursaminotaur]

Not even 2 Nattys is enough to get Lil Kirby over his inferiority complex. Sad, really...

Kirby, like the name brand vacuum cleaner....sucks.

Nothing sucks like a Kirby

AtoZ Sports, fanning the flames again.

 

[posivol]

poor ole kirby....scaaaared to roll in to knoxville this year.

 

[JRich]

Hooker is steadily climbing the draft boards, Bennett isn't even being considered.

Quarterback driven...

Who is his target audience?

Well, truth be told, he can jab at our program with immunity until we beat him again on the field.
You beat our offense with better NFL talent at all 11 defensive positions than we can muster on offense, and have them mentally prepared to exploit our weaknesses.
So far, Kirby has met the challenge. The other 5-star defense did not.
We want him to shut up, we need to score 52 on his defense.

It's very clearly a shot at Tennessee and it's also always about recruiting with these coaches. We landed the top QB prospect in the country last recruiting cycle so he's making his pitch I think. Oh and I hope we embarrass him and whoever his "QB who makes great decisions" is in next season's game.

 

[GAVol]

What an odd choice of words to dismiss another system out of the blue like that. It's just a dumb narrative that somehow any Air Raid QB is only capable of one read and just makes a bunch of long distance handoffs.

 

[RockyTopTexas]

Listen we both had Jim Chaney… Kirby is a jackal

Spooky Action from a distance, this is the absolute bottom line truth.

 

[Teeman]

Ironic, when you consider how many dumb QB decisions Kirby has made. He tried his best to keep Stetson Bennett off the field.

If I’m a QB, I’d ask myself which offense I’d rather play in. All QBs have to make decisions.
No question in my mind that offense is the one run by the Vols.

 

[Vol49er]

Would've been shorter to just say "Idk how to scheme for my QB like Heupel does"

Weird how arguably the two biggest and most successful coaches in the game are so insecure about the Vols. Geez...top level paranoia. Everything is "moment in time"...today's GA offense would look gimmicky to Bear Bryant running the wishbone. I could see JH retort, if he were insecure..."well, on defense, we don't stack up our D three deep w/ 5*s..."

They might have beat us but this “gimmick” O was the #1 O in the country.

When did they add judges to give scoreboard points for the best “Kirby Pro Style” of offense?

I thought the idea of the game was to score points by play on the field. Wasn’t UT the best in the nation at this last year?

Oh, they didn’t judges for Kirby style points? Then I would stick with CJH style of offense!!

 

[VolsFan-TX]

They might have beat us but this “gimmick” O was the #1 O in the country.

And Clemson indicated they are going to implement a similar scheme.

I am curious about where our gimmick QB will be drafted vs his true QB.

 

[tennrich1]

Maybe I’m different but this stuff just doesn’t offend me. Georgia’s QB position is simply ask to drive the machine and don’t run it in the ditch. And that requires making good decisions. Nothing wrong with that. However I personally think our QB’s must be great decision makers along with athletic abilities to “just go really fast”. CLEARLY…JH is majorly adept at running this type of offense with precision and efficiency. Both can win at high levels …but with ultra talented QB’s it sure is tons more fun to watch the Vols.

Kirby's mama was a dawg; all you need to know.
