The Unofficial Tennessee @ South Carolina Game Thread, 7:30pm ET, SEC Network

[chattavol420]

Our coaches have no freaking balls. 4th and a half yard twice on the opponents 30 and you choose to try an incredibly hard field goal instead of go for it. I'm putting this on the coaches.

We have a winner... While you're at it put the Florida game in them also

 

[jimallvol]

In 2 years Jones in game management has been suspect at best.

Agree 100% a coach who decides to kick long FGs with the wind the way it is gets you to thinking about his ability to coach a team to a win

 

[KappinSpaulding]

This is first time I have been negative about this staff but this one is on the coaches.

I'm right there with you.

 

[rocketskates]

I'm hanging in, score on this drive and it's a one score game.

 

[omghulkhands]

We have lost a great deal of very winnable games over the last half decade.

One of these days that might change. That day does not appear to be today.

 

[minorvol]

Unbelievable we can't cover one guy. That is coaching. Have to cover their playmakers.

 

[BruiserVol]

I cant stop thinking about kicking those field goals from their 27 in 30 mph wind when both kickers have been missing badly all night. There has to be some kind of play that would work with a running qb.

 

[hatingbamaisawayoflife]

Go VOLS

 

[knoxvol16]

Why the **** do they keep putting Coleman in man on Cooper with no help? He has burned him over and over. Why is Sutton not on him? The D coordinator needs to fired. This is ridiculous. He has burned him all game and they keep putting him on him with no help. Inexcusable.

Noticed this very early in the game.

 

[cjbongoinstructor]

Have a backup QB or someone with the last name Cooper on your team? Play them against the vols to see school records shattered and have your NFL draft highlight tape polished

 

[MedicT]

OKAY....ALL OF YOU FOLKS CRYING FOR MAN COVERAGE....

That last play is EXACTLY WHY YOU DON'T RUN MAN COVERAGE AGAINST THE 'OL BALL COACH WITH THESE DBs......

Here endeth the lesson.....:salute:

Every now and then someone says something with intelligence on here. Good to see.:hi:

 

[orangealways]

This is what it looks like to get outcoached. Sad but true. Bad decisions on both field goal attempts and our secondary can't figure out where Cooper is on the field.

I think that "individual" is kicking our _____

 

[nash101]

Have to agree. The defense has no clue tonight. Last week we let the Bama player set an all time Tide record for yards and Cooper is set to do even more. How is he open time and time again? Longest pass play of the Spurrier era at SC - is Sunseri back as our DC?

Offense calls are terrible. If not for Dobbs just taking and running the game would be all but over right now. We cannot take advantage of anything.

Game is not over and we may come back. But we look and play horrible after Butches half time adjustments

 

[OrangeUTopia]

Yes so we can misuse them into 7 win seasons and moral bowl victories.

Exactly. Should win a couple more with better talent but can't see this staff out coaching anyone.

 

[KnoxRealtorVOL]

Our coaching staff is pathetic and should be fired effective immediately. Butch belongs in the Big East with the rest of the Big East losers.

 

[PA Vol]

Why hasn't Pig been fed the ball more?

He's made some solid plays for us.

 

[vols 30]

Butch can go to Michigan with Jancek and Bajakian!

They don't want him if they're serious about winning.

 

[ETV]

If this continues, Dobbs will have 200 yds. rushing before it's over.

 

[DallasVol92]

let's kick a field goal

Eff it. Just punt so the fg doesnt give them good field position,

 

[volinbama256]

Butch< OBC

 

[Underachievers]

This is what bad teams do. Miss fgs, penalties, give up big plays, etc. All describe our team for the last 7 years.

 

[NEVolFan]

let's kick a field goal

We will try at the 25 when its 4 and 1...

 

[IluvdoubleD's]

21 unanswered.

Dobbs.

 

[LittleCat]

A ridiculous statement. UT is playing way too many Freshmen on both sides of the ball and there is very little depth at any position. You can't tell about coaching until they get SEC talent and depth.

Lmao. I don't care if he has 22 freshmen on the field or 22 seniors. Those field goal attempts on 4th and short were stupid and a bad coaching decision.

 

[biganbad]

I'm still on team Butch ,,,,,, we can win this one,,,,,,, score and D up
