I thought Broadus could be the answer on short FGs, but he missed a gimme yesterday. Maybe the new kid will help.

Most have set the bar for the season at 8 games. If the vols show significant improvement everywhere but only win 7 games because of missed fgs costing us two games, should CDD lose his job?

It's going to be tough to get an honest assessment of how many games the kickers cost us even after the season is over. It takes a massive mistake (missed chip shot game winning field goal, etc.) for a kicker to single handedly lose a game for you, but I could see that happening once this coming year. However, there are lots of little things that can add up to lose games (bad kickoffs, 25 yd. punts, etc) by costing you valuable field position as the game goes on. Still, I have no trouble seeing at least one catastrophic mistake by Palardy losing a game this coming year.

I can't believe how bad our kicking game is. And our guys were suppose to be the best in the class that year. We will lose multiple games bc of these guys. And the person to blame will be CDD.

The definition of insanity is to keep doing the same thing over and over while expecting different results. We've reached that stage with Palardy. There's no reason he should ever set foot on the field again if he can't even kick an extra point. Can't the find somebody on the soccer team or something that can get the ball over the line? I honestly don't know what the whole solution is, but step 1 is parking Palardy on the bench for the rest of his time in Knoxville. After that I don't know what to do, but the coaches need to try something different.

Yea...its CDD's fault for recruting bad kickers.....but wait he didn't so shut up it's not his fault our kickers suck they do good in practice and warm ups it's just in games they get mentle blocks and you can't coach how to get rid of mentle blocks
