Recruiting Football Talk VII

[Jimmy Football]

Some perspective, though: if you had told me when we fired Gump that we would be heading toward an 8-4 season in year 3, I would have been pleased.

We were very close to being a very dead program. I think it’s important to remember that.

This officiating **** is an injustice and it’s wrong. Read about getting beat but wanting a well officiated game. We played like **** but get the hell beat out of ya with a fair called game. We played poorly but would’ve just lost a closer game if we played well. So you can try again you drunken Mets fan who deserves to have Jeremy back and don’t have the kids back who are getting punched in ribs and choked with impunity. Hard to ACTUALLY play in that environment which it is obvious you have never stepped on a football field past middle school if at all.

You sound so ****ing stupid lol. The refs had ZERO impact today dude. We got our ****ing ass whooped. End of story. Go root for GA tech and be done with this **** like you said 2 years ago. Hold your word and honor

Because theyre handcuffed like kiffin with crompton

You can’t ride that into the ground at the expense of the season. Play the system regardless.. I don’t buy it.

I mean it’s literally worked all year and gave us a legit chance to win the east going into today. Idk how you can’t buy that lol. Today was a complete disaster all around. Defense most of all imo

Like Kiffin with Crompton, Heup has done a pretty decent job making the best of Joe. Even at his best, though, there are a lot of things you simply can’t do with Joe in terms of schematics / play calling.

The final nail in this game was when Gabe Jeudy-Lally was called for the phantom face mask to give them a first down. It was still a two score game at that point.

Ridiculous.

He actually grabbed the mask and yanked it of the guy BLOCKING him.

 

[VolsAgainstTheWorld15]

Anyone think the sun will come up tomorrow?

As long as Tim Banks isn’t coordinating things between the moon’s fall and the sun’s rise, I believe the sun will indeed rise tomorrow lol I kid…or do I?

 

[KptVFL]

He’s had like 25% more carries than anybody else but yes, fair enough

And that's impressive on it's own right.

Dude was good, we knew it and couldn't stop him.

Am honestly more disappointed in our offense. 7 points they scored were handed on a platter. If we do what we should do the defense did good enough. Sounds crazy I know. We have to score!

Made dude look like a Heisman candidate... and he aint that good!

This. Specifically Joe’s hesitancy to run the ball when there is an open lane.

This kills Coach Heupel’s offense. His offense requires a QB who will take the open lane, because it draws the Defense into a miss match for later.

Teams have realized that with Milton they do not have to truly worry about any of that. Stop his deep throw and you can beat Tennessee. Especially if you can stop our run game.

Yup.

Heupel is the guy.

Heupel still has plenty of room to grow.

Today still sucks.

 

[Fun coupon VOL]

Yeah especially when your dline and LB can’t fill a gap to save their life and can’t get off the field lol. It really handicaps the offensive playcalling when you’re already handicapped anyway

Sorta hard to do when your d-cord won’t change his players on the back end because they suck and are slow. Calling zone 90% of the time to cover up their ineffectiveness doesn’t help your d-line.

 

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

We lost 36-7.

You would think we won by some comments.

Everyone was bad.

Defense, offense, and coaching.

That loss was inexcusable just like the Florida loss.

I don’t know what Heupels road woes are from, but it’s a major problem.

 

[85SugarVol]

We went to MC at 7-5 two years ago, and we will lobby against it. Gator or formerly, Outback. We are probably 5/6 in line depending on how LSU finishes.

I’d take an Outback Bowl.

 

[tnvols72]

This is just wrong

Yeah it was just an embarrassment all around. Bad bad bad

 

[TheBigOne10]

The fumble by Wright before the half was a back breaker.

 

[Vols4us]

I said the other day, staff continuity was needed but thats wrong.
Banks and Martinez need out.
Also, Halzle needs to go. I wonder what Jeff Lebby would cost, or if Heupel and Kendall Briles would work well together.

Count me in on all of it. This is not the first or even second season. Third season with serious in game coaching mental errors as well as development questions at the same position groups for three seasons. It will kill momentum as a program.

 

[rdavis007]

McConkey is a Baller! Going to be long game next week guys.

 

[Memphisvol87]

Yup.

Heupel is the guy.

Heupel still has plenty of room to grow.

Today still sucks.

He’s showing that’s he’s not more and more as time goes on unfortunately. Next year is going to tell us if he’s it or not. I hope I’m wrong but he’s trending down and hasn’t overcome the same weaknesses for 3 years.

 

[Aesius]

Some perspective, though: if you had told me when we fired Gump that we would be heading toward an 8-4 season in year 3, I would have been pleased.

We were very close to being a very dead program. I think it’s important to remember that.

We also have a QB waiting in the wings who may be able to run this offense better than Hooker did. Heupel may just be a guy who wins games because he can recruit and get the most out of top-notch QBs, and he's not able to win as many games without an elite QB.

That's okay...as long as he keeps hitting on elite QBs.

 

[Vols2DaWall]

The pattern is showing. Run up scores/yardage against bad teams but too easy to shut down against quality teams---especially on the road

 

[mrMet]

Sorta hard to do when your d-cord won’t change his players on the back end because they suck and are slow. Calling zone 90% of the time to cover up their ineffectiveness doesn’t help your d-line.

I don’t disagree. The few times we brought heat, we had nobody on the leak out/dump down. It was just bad

 

[mr.checkerboards]

I know his name may not be the most popular, and he's Co-DC in Athens.

I wonder what people would say to bringing in Muschamp as DC.

 

[VolNash17]

Noticed another trend. When the Vols lose they don’t just lose they lose bigly…

Pattern showing overall or just this year? Because if you mean overall, you sound ridiculous lol
