Recruiting Football Talk VII

[headhunter15]

Heupel needs to call Derek Mason for the defensive coordinator position should he make a change.

See you all in Thursday.

Crazy thing is, I think we beat georgia lol. We just go completely to **** on the road.

 

[UTgrad2015]

Elite coaching staffs don’t get humiliated like this in year 3.

Correct

 

[BigOrange15]

We got owned. End of story. Dominated. It wasn’t because of holding. It was because we got owned man to man

I wasn't arguing otherwise? It's whatever though, man. Agree to disagree I guess.

 

[LakesiteVol]

Y'all can blame Banks and the rest of the defensive coaches, but the only one that should be blamed for this showing is Josh. It's his job to have everyone prepared and ready to go on game day, and he didn't even come close to doing that today. Like others have said; this seems to be a trend and that will not serve him well. I hope he grows and things will be better down the road.

 

[BearCat204]

They fooled Milton on that one

That one has been waiting to happen for at least two quarters now.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Well, we got whipped today by a team that was ready for us... Time to start looking to the future and playing Nico some more these last few games.

There is an exactly negative percent chance of Heupel playing Nico against freaking Georgia. Be real.

This entire game, start to finish every part was embarrassing. Egregious no show by players and staff. No explaining this performance away.

See, this i agree with. When we play like this, there’s no room to complain about officiating. In the previous games, there is. Not today.

 

[VOL608]

Heupel and the Vols on the road is a problem. Defense sucked ass. Banks and Martinez are problems. Offense didn’t help either. Can’t believe we got our asses beast by a poverty program like Missouri.

 

[UTgrad2015]

Heupel just may not be the guy after all. Get mad if you want, but he’s starting a trend of being blown out by average teams late in the season

 

[pierce60]

Two things can be true at the same time….

Tennessee got WHIPPED today

And

Tennessee is still getting screwed by officiating

 

[beneVOLence]

Just sad at our poor performance. We just got dominated and didn’t even put up a fight. Not sure we will ever put a run of great seasons together.

 

[jave36]

Refs got the call from pac 12. Their last chance for the playoffs was in jeopardy, phantom call to stall Utah's game tying drive comes out of nowhere lol

 

[mrMet]

35 for 205 to a ****** d2 guy. Incredible

 

[Adam Sandler]

Does someone get fired over this game? 2 years in a row we blow a chance at extra games in November with a pathetic showing.

 

[Smokey123]

No show vs UF(twice) no show vs Mizz, no show vs Scar. Not a good look

Nah, road loses to teams beneath us were the defense couldn’t get of the field are piling up.

Banks can’t adjust or scheme … safety’s are slow… give CRG a raise… and upgrade at DC and corner

 

[Smokey123]

OM beats Uga and the vols beat Uga next week would be the most Tennessee thing ever

 

[VOL6479]

Why was Milton bobbing his head and talking trash when we were down 3 scores

 

[pierce60]

Tennessee played terrible today, but for everyone saying Heupel needs to be fired….you all are total idiots!!

He’s 25-11 as Tennessee’s head coach and is likely going to win 9 games this year….does anyone remember the horrendous coaching this program has endured for the past 15-18 years??????

 

[mrMet]

OM beats Uga and the vols beat Uga next week would be the most Tennessee thing ever

I could almost bet it happens honestly

 

[BigSteve09]

That's that for this season.

8-4 was expected. 9-3 would have been nice. Even still tonight defined the 2023 Tennessee Volunteers.

 

[Leeleesteeth]

Trying to be rational here. I do think they need to evaluate the Defensive staff moving forward. BUT, that needs to happen after the bowls and after signing day. Poor LB play in run fits. Leaving gaps open in pass rush. Times when the Zones are so soft. Leaving the flats wide open. All of these issues have popped up at various times throughout the year. Not suggesting anyone should be fired but everyone except Garner on that side of the ball needs to be looked at pretty hard when the time is appropriate.

 

[maduggin]

Correct

Evidence starting to mount that he's not elite. We want to believe he is in that category, but after going through multiple terrible coaches, "above average" can mistakenly feel like "elite". I think time is starting to show the truth.

This. Also have to hit the portal heavy on defense.
