What changes would you make?

Serious answers please. Also anyone who is saying changes should not be made are delusional, you can think no one needs to be fired, but to say "just chill bro we need talent" is absolutely insane, of course we need talent, but that does not explain why we lost to Arkansas. The truth is our coaching is an issue, not having us prepared for nearly every SEC game this year, which is why we lost to a bad Arkansas team, that ultimately kept us out of the SEC Championship game, and gave us a road game at Ohio State in the CFP. We have consistently been bad on the road and in the first half of many games. In my opinion the reason for the struggle is not play calling to our strengths, player development especially on the OL, and player discipline committing the same penalties over and over, also why cant our DB's turn their head around when defending a pass?

Heupel is either smart enough to know changes are needed or he’s going to pull a Fulmer and keep coaches that aren’t carrying their weight. If he does the latter we’ll most likely slip right back into mediocrity.

There isn’t one assistant that should be comfortable right now, thus, this is the perfect time for Heupel to flat out tell them “this isn’t acceptable”. Every coach should have to make the case why they should be retained. I do give Enge a bit of a pass because it was his first year and the heart & soul of the LB group was lost early in the year.

Each assistant should also be pressed what is he is going to do to take recruiting to another level as well. We need more studs across the board.

I'm not a knowledgeable football person so someone can explain it to me. We need a different route tree for our receivers....if the defense plays 2 & 3 deep coverage, stop running 3 go routes and a 5 yard sideline curl. Could we run more crossing routes maybe? I saw a lot of deep routes last night and OSU had 4 or 5 DB's deeper than our receivers......

It’s hard to run crossing routes when the WRs are aligned literally 45 yards from each other

Everyone is mad at the CB coach ....can someone please let me know who are you more disappointed in the regression of.....Ricky Gibson III, the play of Jermod McCoy, or the starting freshman at Star? Maybe you think Harrisom had a rough year? I don't see him as a problem unless you have a better option available and don't say an option who is not available like Corey Raymond or Tim Walton.

Focus on closing the gap between UT, Bama and GA.

 

[Rocky Top T]

Elarbee and Pope and Banks need to be shown the door

 

[DaddyChad]

Our db’s can’t turn there heads because Willie Martinez is a horrible coach

Explain to me what turning your head does when you’re already beaten by two to three steps and the ball is perfectly placed?

 

[bpalmer28]

I’d start with replacing the OC.

 

[creekdipper]

Recruit Musk and Bezos.

Jesus dude, step away from the ledge. We don't need to start firing coaches and go back into the miserable pit of coach merry go round.
The offense didn't do as much as before because CJH did not trust Nico to make the necessary calls at the line. Remember he is just a RS freshman.

Rick Barnes has been coach for 10 years - in year 9 he finally wins the SEC and makes the sweet 16

Tony Vitello has been 7 seasons, took him 4 to get to the college world series and in the 7th to win it all

Took Pat 5 seasons to win the conference and the 8th to make the final four and 13th to win the title

Rick won the SEC in year 3 and made the Sweet 16 in year 4.
