Raise your hand if you think we can beat UF next year or if McElwain continues the streak and the succession of coaches to carry that flame.

I know it's the game agents play but this dance has made me go all Catbone.

Never go all Catbone

 

[BigOrange15]

So tell me, what specific plays is he going to call that he can't because of our line? Jake called the same plays this season with a horrible line as he did last season with a great line.

Anything that takes more than .8 seconds to develop for starters. If I recall correctly, he called FAR less perimeter passes last season. He has his faults, no question. I just think he deserves one more year to prove himself when the OL has had a little more time to develop.

After this season I've finally joined the "I will believe we beat them when I see it" crowd.

I think that's pretty much how most of us feel.

I took a nap (work tonight) awoke to this news! My faith in Hart is stronger now.




I want many of you to negotiate my next contract.

 

[volatil]

Win 9 next year Butch and you get your 4million

True...but if there's a club that has us on the losing end? Chances are that you're a charter member. :sad:

Hubbs just said Butch will get a $300,000 salary pool to be divided up between the 8 assistants.

I would do:

Strip: 75k

Thig: 75k

Jancek: 75k

Elder: 25k

ZA: 25k

Willie: 24,995

Jake: $5 footlong from subway

Mahoney:

Rofl.

If these numbers are accurate, my faith in Butch is stronger too.

He could have fleeced the heck out of Hart. He had him right where he wanted him. I feel better about the situation as a whole now.

 

[butchna]

We are what we are...now go play with a light socket.

 

[Mike4Vols]

Per usual, much ado about nothing. VolNation strikes again...

I wouldn't say it was nothing. Michigan was calling on our coach while in the midst of contract negotiations. That most definitely is something.

What just happened in here with Catbone and butchna?

Thought it was funny. I didn't quote anything for obvious reasons but it was funny.

I'm going to miss them while they are on Christmas "break"

Not true. We actually called more perimeter passes last year. All last season people complained about us not using quick slants, TE seam passes, etc... We attempted more passes over the middle this season than before. Ultimately, it wasn't that big of a difference. The playcalling both seasons has been about the same. But we've thrown inside more this season than last. My point is Bajakian didn't adjust the gameplans to compensate for poor blocking.

If I had seen adjustments from last season to this season I'd agree. But he's basically called the same offense no matter what the personnel was, the playcalling and gameplans were inconsistent at best, and there was very little playcalling to maximize talent/mask weaknesses. That is this season and last. That tells me something.

 

[Catbone]

We are about to fight. I guess?

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

The OL couldn't even get in the way. Any stunt and they were toast.

Yep. Never a good sign when more times than not we see an OLineman chasing a DLineman....backwards...towards the QB

 

[InVOLuntary]

K mac on sportstalk. He's a very confident kid. Very entertaining. Wish he was an EE. Can't wait till he's busting heads next fall.

 

[rekinhavoc]

I'll alert the waffle houses.

 

[Appalachiamuck]

My reasoning is this.

2013 UT had about 4000 yards on offense with a very experienced NFL talented OL.

2014 UT had about 4000 yards on offense despite the most horrific OL play in years.

When I consider that, CMB may not have done a bad job as far as offensive play calling goes in 2014. JMO

That's pretty interesting info, considering the OL situation and that we probably played against much tougher defenses. We just didn't do well in the red zone. CMB's fault or just a lack of execution?

That's what I am saying.

Imagine if Hart had given CBJ the 4 million some on here would have then went 6-6 next year. "That dang Hart should be fired for giving this guy 4 million a year"!
