Recruiting Forum Football Talk XXX

Fuad Reveiz said it's the 2nd worst defense UT has had in the last 22 years and the only one it's better than is Sunseri's. He also said this defense has a lot more talent than that defense. His biggest complaints were not flying to the football and how wide our gaps are in the front 4. This was on Saturday night. Nothing earth shattering but that was his thoughts.

When you have lighter DEs playing at DT that's what happens I guess. They just get pushed out of the way like it's nothing.
 
I think he determines the type of game we are going to play and the type of game we need to play in order to give us the best chance to win.

Knowing what will work and what will not work vs different opponents.

I think that is a big reason we haven't been blown out except vs Bama this year.

My guess is he very involved with the offense and does very little with defensive gameplanning
 
You fire your head coach.

Is that the answer you want to hear?

No, but solid lack of critical thinking there. Unless you are thinking that Butch should fire himself. That'd be an interesting case study in psychology.

FTR, I've said many times on here that you can't, and we won't, fire Butch. It's just an unrealistic solution on several levels. I'm not even out for blood for either coordinator.

I'm just curious as to what he is going to do at what I consider very much to be a crossroads.

Honest question: when there are so many posts complaining about how negative the forum is, but it doesn't change, isn't it time to move on?

I didn't write all those posts. I wrote mine. But if I did drone on about it for page after page and always took every post to talk about all the negativity, then yes, it would be time for me to move on and either accept it, put some people on ignore, or quit this thread entirely.

This might be the junction where we agree to disagree. :)

Nothing wrong with that!
 
play a 5 man bear front or anything different. Vandy just gonna try to slam it down your throat like everyone else.Actually they will, theres no "trying" to it. We have no chance playing this same scheme. You can drive a truck through those lanes. Its embarrassing.

so basically kudos to our team for finding different ways to win when injuries totally decimated our 2 deep and chemistry on defense. obviously ball control, defense, and field position game planning is out the window now. so outscore your opponent whatever it takes has become the plan. works for me.

You left out..roll your DBs back into dang near prevent position so you give up tons of yards, but fewer backbreaking quick strike TDs. Effectively trading TDs for FGs. The defense stiffens as the field shrinks.

Sugar - winner of okl/osu or loser if Okl makes playoff

Citrus - I believe big10 #2 which would be one of the loser of conference title game or loser of osu/mich don't know how that will play out

I think the BIG will get 1-2 in playoffs and perhaps 1-2 as at large in New Years 6 also. Looks real good for them this year.

I think Ohio State gets playoffs with Wisconsin possibly sneaking in as well with a win over Penn state in BIG championship.

Then Michigan makes New Years six along with maybe Penn State. If Penn State doesn't get selected they will be in Citrus.

Otherwise Nebraska will be in Citrus.

Agreed. Play 5-2-4 and make Shurmur beat us.

I don't think he can.
 
By the way it gets lost in all the moaning and groaning in here but we only have 2 Tennessee games left this year.

Enjoy it because come May we will be going crazy in here waiting for team 121.

Season goes by way too fast.

Dobbs numbers are inflated because we've entered 3 shootouts this year. Two of which don't happen if our D could have stopped a nosebleed.

Doesn't mean he didn't have a good year. Just saying there's factors involved in the numbers.

He's also played against the toughest schedule in college football.

I agree. This is what I posted during the Mizzou game in that thread early in the second half when it became obvious the half time adjustments were not working. I am very surprised that Shoop obviously did not prepare for the game with that in mind after being gashed for 400+ rushing yards against UK and knowing how injured the roster was. I don't understand thinking that second and third teamers along with injured guys playing on one leg are going to hold up against quality rushing attacks. UK is #17 and Mizzou #34 in rushing in the country. Mizzou is #13 in total offense. UT is #52 in TO by comparison. That's after Saturday's game.

Keep doing things the same way and get the same results and we all know what you call that. Said in monotone Butchspeak for effect.
 
You quit on the season, cry like a baby on the Internet, fire everyone and start over from scratch.

- Volnation

I don't know man. Lot of melodrama you have there. I don't track every post, but I just don't see a huge push to fire Butch.
