The Official Tennessee vs. #9 Auburn Game Thread, 12pm ET(11/09/13), ESPN

I think coaches should be assessed a kick in the nuts for every time they use the phrase "plays in space" as some sort of explanation or game plan.

 

[FallBranchChick]

I love butch, but he has got to get better dc and oc to compete in the SEC, his buddies just aren't going too cut it

 

[17Vols]

look on the bright side, Vandy is winning at the swamp...

BEST coaching staff in America. Players out of position on defense is not a speed problem, it's a coaching problem. OL over and over false start and missed blocks that's coaching not speed.

Lack of speed is no excuse for not having a spy on Marshall. Not having a spy on Marshall is simple stupidity.

 

[Cartervol]

This team has taken some steps backward lately. Looks like some Dooley trash out there now..

 

[GoBigOrange86]

Some people complain no matter what....

Boo.....they hate us

Quit saying our guy is the best

But it's a clear falsehood. All this talk about the offensive line being one of the best in the SEC has not translated on the field. It's frustrating hearing commentating-by-the-numbers that doesn't reflect what actually happens on the field.

That's all I'm saying. I'm tired of the hype for a unit that still has a lot of big deficiencies.

 

[VolinConcord]

Shut up Lou. Quit spitting all over the place.

 

[Coastypop]

Tiny just got beat by a true Freshman

Yea... #NFLBOUND

 

[Godfatha]

You guys just have no speed

We had a moron for a head coach for three years who didn't understand speed wins.

 

[BigOrangeD]

Fire Dooley!!!

:good!:

 

[alavolfan]

Guys I understand the frustration with coaching but seriously these players are missing tackles, out of position, biting on fakes, taking bad angles....

And that has to do with coaching

 

[LA Vol]

We are regressing every week. Forget these "on the road" excuses; we're playing poorly everywhere.

 

[utvolkyle06]

Yes and that is the coaches responsibility!

 

[Backwards K]

Guys I understand the frustration with coaching but seriously these players are missing tackles, out of position, biting on fakes, taking bad angles....

...and they are slow and several would not be playing in the SEC except for the reason, they are the only players Dooley could convince to come here.

 

[CoachClick]

Hey Mark May...

Exactly. It's not ALL speed. It's speed once the opposing runner is in the open field and you can't catch him. It's speed when your guys get to beaten to the edge every time.

At a certain point, the most important six inches on the field is between a player's earholes.

 

[govols/cc]

Jaques is 5 yards upfield every play & they just cut it up inside him. Our safety's are slow & one false step by runner & they're beat. AJ is being AJ.

 

[#16s Dad]

How bad do we suck...............That is the question?

Do you mean the fans? Just wondering cause this game is nowhere near over:unsure:

 

[Catbone]

volunturtles lol

good true post, Patrick :hi:

 

[PA Vol]

Never thought I would miss Wilcox.

 

[Persian Vol]

The best thing we can do is educate our defense. I've never seen a more indiscipline defense in my life. How can one possibly bite on that play knowing their QB has run up your throat the entire game and that you have everything to lose by biting and nothing to win

 

[saxvol]

just watch the game online like I am

Yeah, let's make sure we squash any hype OUR team might have....good god, the self entitlement is pathetic.
