This coaching staff

Honest question is there a single good assistant coach on this team besides Elklear/Gardner/abeln?
Hazle trash
Banks trash besides maybe this year
Sims can’t land a recruit to save his life
pope Wr seems to not get any separation
Elerbee only one elite Prospect in 4 years.. line not great with most of his players
Inge-TBD
Willie… need I say more

I’m slightly inebriated, but my God most of our coaching staff is pathetic
Maybe Heupel is too nice a guy and he needs to chew some butts; both coaches and players.

You got to sustain a drive a some point. They were on the field the whole first half because we couldn't do anything offensively. So yes he got hung out to dry..

I understand what you're saying so, I guess it's time to start looking for another head coach(I'm not saying that) because that's his thing, We're 4 years Into this with Heupel and if you haven't figured out that's his thing then I'm not sure what to tell you and I do think the offense needs work.

Our offense is so predictable it makes it easy to defend. When is the last time we saw a gadget play outside of the shuffle pass up the middle. It's funny to hear the pundits rave about our wide open offense when to me seems we only have a couple plays outside of running Samson up the middle They have a whole week of practice, in this case 2 weeks of practice, just to look this bad ?

Blatantly obvious that heupel is not a good evaluator of staff. Otherwise guys like martinez and elerbee wouldn’t still be drawing paychecks here. I’m also beginning to question his ability to evaluate QB talent. Don’t really think he’s the QB whisperer we all made him out to be.

Rodney Gardner is the only guy that’s keeping heupel off the hot seat.

After Some sleep and alcohol leaving the system I have determined.
Heupel has to want his program to be better and drop the whole nice guy Act… not firing anyone and by and large Promoting within hasn’t/isn’t working.
Hazle has been an abject failure (yes Ik Heupel calls the plays but please try to tell me QB play has been above average besides Cupcake Games),
Banks has somewhat turned it around but theres no reason he should of made it to this point with what he had shown the past 3 years… plus think a big part of the defenses success hinges on the fact with have 10 upperclassmen at DLine which will all be gone this season…. I mean it’s year 4 and we have 20 JR/SR playing and we couldn’t get lined up last night
Sims- he’s been fine Ig but when it comes to RB coach I’m more focused on recruiting which has been lackluster to say the least… I mean it been well know we want a 2nd back in this class but we just can’t seems to even get traction with anyone.
Pope. Please don’t start with Hyatt… yea WR play was good his first year here but how much was him and how much was talent/Kodi burns
The past 2 seasons our WR play has been painfully average which should not be the case with all the supposed talent we have.
Elerbee: This one frustrates me the most. I said time and time again that I will not call him out for what he does until he puts out a bad line… welp folks it’s that time… this man is simply not good enough. He can’t recruit at an overly high level and has missed on 4 of his 5 Big time prospects (Ik it’s hard to land them but as some point you have to). The Line which has 4 SRs all of which have been in the system for 2 years now still consistently jump offsides/Run Out like they’re going to catch a screen pass. There’s no excuse for it. Not to mention they’ve Been Turn styles every game this season where they’ve played a team with a pulse.
Ole Willie… not going to say more pretty much same thing a Banks… kinda turning it around but there is nothing he’s done here in Either tenure that deserved him being here this long.

If Heupel serious about wanting to win a majority, if not all of these coaches need to be gone after this season until then nothing will change

That's my question.. If you can't run what you bring, then at least tailor it back to help your defense out. They were on the field all night.. Yes the Oline seems to be a weak link, but so does QB and WR too. Why not go to 12 personal again or throw quick stuff. This staff was subpar last night, except Tim Banks. He got hung out to dry by this putrid offense..
If your OL is a weak link, your QB and WRs have no chance. Look across the landscape. Way to many folks are already throwing shade at Nico when in reality playcalling and O line are much more of an issue.

Banks will take a HC after this season. I think we should go 12 from start to finish. I think about Heupel’s ego got in the way. Thinking he wanted to go deep.

Our OL is and has been an issue pretty much 4 years now. IMO your top notch offensive linemen go elsewhere due to the warp speed offense Heupel runs. How many NFL teams runs this offense?
I didn’t see any warp speed offense last night. Most snaps were under 10 seconds.

I was watching The Slice Of Orange postcast podcast moderated by Frank Rock and he lambasted the coaching staff and said that Ablen and Sims were the only coaches that did well last night.

I would have added Garner to the group that coached well.

Our run game was stuffed all night...except the one (1) run by Sampson. So 3rd and long and game on the line they run it up the gut. Not even really trying to get the 1st down. That happened a few times...and if they don't trust Nico to throw for it then we have even bigger problems than we think.

He gets credit for Golesh doesn't he?

Totally irrelevant. NFL and College are different worlds.
Lots of great college players don’t do much or even make the NFL.
That's true .... but Hyatt was just a 3 star coming out of high school. He didn't have offers from in-state schools Clemson and South Carolina. It seems fair to give the coaching he had at Tennessee some credit for his 2022 season ... and the best single-game that any Tennessee WR has ever had (factoring in quality of the opponent.)

I’m not saying they didn’t do anything.
Have any of the others they’ve been coaching exceeded expectations like that 3 star? Even the 4 stars starting out?
I really don’t think so, so I’m not really giving them to much credit.

The ole saying: you can’t coach speed.
Hyatt could run by opposing DB’s for a TD 3-4 times a game against almost anyone we played.
The coaches don’t get credit for his speed.
All NFL DB’s are fast, all college ones not.

Our head ball coach is good, but he is still green to the SEC and needs some help. Can't keep having these clunkers every year.
Kiffin, Drinkwitz, and Pittman have one more year in the SEC. Drinkwitz and Pittman first time head coaches. Stoops and Kirby have multiple more years that Heup. The rest of the SEC is the same or less time as Heup. Almost everyone else is as greener or greener.

What the heck is wrong with you people? We are 4-1 ranked #8, our coaches are sound ,our program is strong and we as fans are lucky. In the SEC every team has good athletes. News flash, Bama beat Georgia then lost to Vandy, by this mentality both Smart and DeBorg should be fired for being incompetent.

This is the type of thread you get when trolls and folks that haven't posted anything useful since joining. Controversal topics, just to get a reaction from the massess.
