This whole "it takes 3 years to rebuild" is flat out nonsense. auburn's proving it. so is vandy. Our offense is starting to look semi-competent. D is a joke.

Auburn has been in the to 10 in recruiting for the last 4 years also..a lil easier to rebuild when you have stud players. .

I am all in on Butch but Jancek needs a butt kicking. These are simple plays but bad angles and no player near the hole is unacceptable. Help is on the way but really can he coach defense?

Jancek sucks. CBJ screwed up plain and simple. He had twice as much talent to work with at UGA and sucked there too. This isn't the Big East.

Come on Vols!!!

 

[aredfox28]

Somebody told me Neal was a 4.4

I'm talking defense

You do realize that Malzahn had a hand in recruiting these players and they already know his offense...and the AU players are SEC caliber...they just had bad coaching last year...so that is comparing Apples and Oranges...if you can't recognize this, means you just want to *****

Missed tackle by missed tackle. The only ones to miss more tackles than Tennessee right now is Comcast subscribers seein as we haven't seen a single one. :ermm:

Teams that are faster than Tennessee beat Tennessee, you cannot judge the coaches because these kids are slower than molasses.

AJ will not play on Sunday...write that down.

Bajankian sucks too. BJ messed up bringing his Cincy cronies. He should have kept Cheney and found another DC.

We just can't get a break from the officials, this year. They throw the game against UGA, when we clearly outplayed the dogs...with their bogus PI call. And early in this game, with an official standing right there, we get a no call in the end zone, where Auburn's db is making ALL kinds of contact.

Then the BS Unsportsman-like cal against Jaq? He spiked the ball after a big play. Big freakin deal! It is common as can be to spike the ball in the NFL...no penalty. That put us behind the eight ball on the kickoff. Instead of being able to kick the ball through the end zone, we have to kick it to their return man.

I'm just sick of seeing us ALWAYS being the punching bag, in terms of officiating.

Unfortunately, it is a penalty in college to spike it. It's not BS. I agree it put us in a bind, but we can't do those things and be successful. We have ZERO margin for error, and when we do things to hurt ourselves, it is very hard to overcome.

Agree on the PI call. ANY other home team seems to always get those calls.

Y'all are calling for jancek to be fired now? Haha it doesn't matter who the coordinator is this D would still be garbage. It's a mostly a talent issue. Even if they were disciplined they would still get burnt down the open field.

 

[Reverend Bubba Flavel]

I will say this - us Vol fans sure are good at making excuses these days.

Speed is the funniest. Sure we are slow, but teams make us look like jr. high team.

Stop trying to give the coaches a free pass. Yes the players are sucking it up but blame also has to land on the coaches.

 

[AirVol]

Palardy will lay out the returner on this kickoff,....book it!

 

[vol_in_ar]

Somehow we made Florida look good. We are the only team to do that

All you can do is laugh.

 

[UTAlum03]

[volcop1]

Game over

 

[vol_in_ar]

[VOLMEB]

Fire Elder NOW!

 

[AustinMem]

Yep.... still bad

 

[RiseToTheTop]

Wish palardy could kick it through the end zone.

Great half time adjustments coach!

 

[vol4eva]

Embarrassing

 

[missvol]

Let's see if the half time adjustments make any difference.
