Pay mower attention.

 

[95 Vol Alum]

Better players certainly help. We out talented most teams.

Cutcliffe helped.

Good coordinators and players make good coaches.

Not true.
I was giddy with anticipation waiting to know what he/she (I’m guessing he but I don’t know that he/she has ever actually said) was thinking

Yes, Fulmer was an elite recruiter and thrived when he had good assistants.

Coaching football was not his strength.

the SEC was also not nearly as competitive as it is now. Florida was the only foe we cared about. Everything else was a guaranteed W with our talent roster

 

[theFallGuy]

please explain in detail how he was out coached.
What scheme did he use. What scheme did he not use and why was that a mistake? What scheme differences would have changed the outcome had he used them instead?

And we’re going to need a lot more specifics than “he should blitz more”. Really? In what situations? And who should have blitzed? Who should cover for that blitz on the back side? And how does that change the 3 rd level alignment?

I was once sitting in an office at the school where my children once played high school football. They had just hired a guy who is widely regarded as the best high school coach to ever coach in Tennessee. He has over 15 state championships. One of the other parents trying to sound cool said the words “out coached” and he laughed. He said that is a term used by morons who know nothing of football and kids making excuses for their failure to execute.

It’s beyond moronic for people who watch a game to say the guy who spent 50 hours a week on it got out coached when they can’t even tell you the name of the base defense.

it's a catch phrase people love to throw out without pointing to anything specific

It’s a phrase used by people who don’t know what they’re looking at and can’t discuss the ins and outs of the game.

There no place for it here

 

[GBO18]

NONE!!!!

 

[Behr]

NONE!!!!

Lulz. You bout to get outzoned.

One thing I’ve noticed is we never send players in motion on offense anymore. First two years there was a ton. Not sure why.

Noticed this as well. Don’t know why we don’t. Seems like it would be an easy way to give Nico an idea of man vs zone. Plus I believe there’s all sorts of stats backing up sending a guy in motion gets more yards per play than not doing it.

Never ever

I think my biggest issue with Heupel is he has to figure out how to win on the road. I don’t care how many points we score or how pretty we look doing it just win. We haven’t performed well on the road. Win vs Arkansas and I think we make the SEC CC and get a home playoff game even if we lose.
