Let me start by saying that I have refrained from posting on this site for Over a year, but I have to get this off my chest. It's quite simple. This is not a Josh Dobbs issue. He is not a drop back passer and was recruited to run the read option. Our OC is is an idiot for trying to make him something he is not. He was a bad hire from day one, and by and large, most UT fans knew this the day ithis hire was announced. He has tried to make Dobbs a drop back passer and has continued to run the "fake" read option. It is not organic. Anyone that has subpar football IQ can see that all plays are by design. The result is a stagnate offense that has kept our defense on the field way way too long all season, which by the way has resulted in several defensive injuries. Yep. I just said that. I blame Debord for much of our injuries on defense. Injuries occur when players are tired and lose their technique. This offense doesn't allow our defense any rest.
With all this said, I do not blame Debord. I blame our stubborn head coach for hiring this f'ing dinosaur. It was a bad hire (head coaching malpractice to put gently), and Butch has to take responsibility for it. People say he is a great recruiter. Nope, he WAS a great recruiter. Now that he has been exposed as a used car salesman which cannot only coach X&Os, but can't even make the most basic executive decisions, our recruiting will continue to slide. Look for this number 9 recruiting class to start to fall apart.
Now, I know a bunch of you will tell me I am wrong, and believe me, I wish I was. Nothing sucks worse than knowing that we have a dud head coach that will continue to win just enough games to keep his job for the next 2-3 years. Unfortunately Volnation, we are stuck in purgatory.
Feel free to rip me. I will read,,, and wait patiently to respond after Butch is fired. Until then, God speed Volnation.
