Maybe. I kind of feel like Martinez needs to coach up his guys more. JMO. I expect someone will take offense, but I don't really care. I think Hadden has what it takes to be an SEC corner. Don't know enough about Charles. But I don't think it's all on personnel. For those arguing it is, realize you're blaming the players just as much as I'm laying it on the DB coach.

Disagree, that blame lies on bringing in personnel that aren’t up for SEC competition. Obviously they have to hear that criticism, and that’s unfortunate but blame squarely lies on poor recruiting primarily under Pruitt. Just look at all these players that have left to go to G5 and even FCS teams. Never should have been here and that wasn’t right to them.

It is just what it is…. We are missing our number one corner…. Burrell….. Hadden has potential but is here bc he wasn’t winning a job at Auburn…. Charles has potential but the staff believes that he is more suited to play safety…. The safeties struggle in space and our linebackers struggle against the pass as well…. I think they had played above where they should be this season… They were solid in every game except Florida when Burrell was out and we played more zone…. WM is proven as a DB coach, imo…. Questioning Banks is fair but I feel we should at least wait till we fill up the DB room with quality depth.

I remember our DBs struggling when WM was here before. He has done more with less at other stops, but I haven't seen it yet here. Doesn't mean he won't figure it out, but he does need to figure it out.

You have your opinion, I have mine. I don't think anyone needs to be fired, but when a position struggles, I'm not opposed to calling out the position coach. If I felt our DL were struggling, I'd call out Garner, even tho he's one of the best there is. But they're not. It's our secondary that's struggling, and that's WM.

That also may be because he’s come into the same situation 2 times in a row. Lest we forget what the secondary room looked like in 2012-2013.

I added up and posted the stats once before… When WM was here before….. our pass defense stats were better than the majority of Tennessee defenses dating back to the 2002…. I looked them up to see if the stats backed up everyone’s talking point that WM struggled during his time at Tennessee with Butch…. The fans were wrong and our secondary had played at a fairly high level.

I love Garner but they are able to rotate several defensive lineman this year…. Much better depth this season…. Against florida…. We pretty much played the same 4-5 DBs with very little rotation…Last year the Def Line had similar issues with Matthew Butler getting 100 snaps against kentucky… A game in which Kentucky absolutely mauled or DL for most of the game.
