How games are officiated is in need of major reform. Continuing to ignore an obvious problem is going to hurt the game. People don't watch games to see refs screw over the players who are out there giving their all for their team.

D1 referees should be a full time job. Not this part time crap where you jetset to seminars to learn the new rules and show up on Friday. They need to spend time developing the skillset needed to keep up with the game. It needs to be their job, not their hobby.

It is a joke and an exploitable variable

The only benefit of it being a hobby is that, in theory, it should be easier to fire them…






LOL

For all the criticism Jeremy Banks received this year his final stats look like this: 128 tackles 11.5 TFL 5.5 sacks 1 INT 4 PD.

Only complaint we can have about Banks is how many penalties he has, granted he has cleaned things up a lot

Yesterday, I saw him helping up a guy on the opposite team, which I thought was great since one of his biggest problems is controlling his temper. Sometimes this year, I wished he could have been a running back, too.

Here's my problem with refs on that no touchdown call. If a defender had come along and hit our running back would it have been a penalty for late hit? No, it would not have because the whistle hadn't blown and the play was not over.......... And that in a nutshell is why that call is BS and compounded by their explanation, pure chicken shat!

It’s past time for major athletics to hire full time officials. Pay them, train them, and hold them publicly accountable just like everyone else. With the rise in sports gambling the stakes are even higher. You have to do this to keep the games fair and being able to recruit new officials or all levels of the sport will suffer. There is plenty of money to get it done.

I sincerely question whether Heupel is the guy - whether his schemes will work in the sec, long run.

I don’t want to be a Debbie downer but all we really did this year was catch a lot of people off guard and beat up on bad teams.

I’m far less optimistic about year two today than I was just a few days ago.

As an official that works the short wing every Friday night you never call forward progress at the goal line. Especially on 4th down. Especially in OT. Especially when his forward progress hasn’t been stopped.

That was prideful official that wanted to interject himself into the outcome of the game. Which is the one thing an official should never do. F that guy. I hope that haunts him for the rest of his days.

I don’t pre judge a season bc there are always so many variables….. we had guys including defensive tackles playing 100 snaps….. I don’t think anyone else would have performed better as a defensive coach with this roster.
We have to fix our depth issues.

The reason we had players playing 100 snaps goes back to my original point, They couldn't get off the field. He seldom did anything accept rush 4 or 5. That allowed the secondary, that was probably the weakest position on the field to be exposed repeatedly. If you have a bad defense, you should try and do at least one thing well. You should rush the passer or be able to cover. We did neither. John Chavis, as his base defense said once that if you keep 5 into block, we're sending 6. If you keep 6 into block, we're sending 7. We're always going to send one more than you have to block. We should have always made the offense have to account for additional rushers. If we get burned for a long TD at least we didn't have to be on the field for a 10 min 20 play drive. I would have been fine if he'd have employed the bend but don't break philosophy and dialed some stuff up in the red zone but he played the same base defense almost the whole game. He did dial some stuff up at then end against KY and that is the sole reason we won the game.

Like I said, you are welcome to excuse him if you want, but I see no imagination at the DC spot.

I’m still really down and I don’t like it. I usually am well over losses by now. I can’t even stomach watching football.

I actually feel okay because I know we should have won that game. There were too many one-sided calls to not question shenanigans by Vegas or whatever.

I don’t understand how anyone can say that our defensive coaches have a full complement of SEC talent. Theo Jackson was nothing before this year, so you can’t say he was a good player. Alontae was solid but not great. Banks hadn’t shown a whole lot, and we played Solon Page at times. DL was good but still don’t have elite talent there.

The fact that we were top 5 in the nation in TFL is a damn miracle. 3rd down defense has been a problem, but Tim Banks did more with less, and I’m not sure how it’s debatable.

The that TFL statistic is about the most useless statistic you can hang a hat on. Especially when you consider on the next play we routinely allowed a sizable gain for first down. The defensive statics that matter are points allowed and yards allowed. I never made the claim that he's playing with a short deck but he's done a below average job if you ask me. I don't think he'll be here very long.
