4 or 5 is probably right.Realistically I'm going to say 4-8. We are a dogsh** team but we won't play this bad every week unless the team actually quits
Apathy is the gateway feeling to negaVoldom. Now, fulfill your destiny and take your place at Jack Burton’s side. Together we will usher in a new era of fandom. Flush out the terrible coaches and bring in the first ever dual head coaches of Urban Meyer and Mike Leach. Unlimited power!
Yeah I’ve been thinking about that Portland State loss since our game went final today. That’s what we have to hope our season mirrors.Mike Leach, a guy that many Vols fans would have loved to land, went 3-9 in 2014 (his third year), and lost to Portland State to open 2015 before the team went 9-4 overall.
Not to be disagreeable, but does he know as much as we think? He had the king of defenses in his ear when needed for a lot of his success. He had superior athletes at FSU and UGA to work with. Look at his D's from the end of last season into this game. Mizzou is one thing, their O scheme is strong. But when you get out schemed on D by a Vandy O and now a Georgia State O - big red warning flags are flapping.
Add in the technique issues of the front 7 on D. None of them could shed blocks. They stayed engaged and just shoved the blocker until the ball carrier was beside or past them, then reach out and try to arm tackle. His D was base nickel much of the game. That's sad to me because I watched both Marietta and St. Joe's HS D's run more sophisticated schemes with run and pass blitzes last night. Are they that dumb as players or are the coaches that demanding of perfection that they over control?
Don't know, don't care. They lost to Georgia State. Pathetic.
We're playing the rest of the season regardless. I have no choice but to pray this embarrassed the players and the coaches to the point they do better out of pure shame.
Of course I felt that would happen in the 2nd half... But still, no other choice.
