Bc your defensive line is getting blown off the ball in the 2nd half but we’re fine in the 1st half I don’t think that’s coaching.

-7 yards until that last drive will kill a defense. We were leaving them out to dry.

Also Shoop doesn't believe in blitzing a lot I see. Run blitzing the LBs on early downs would've created a negative play.

Our defense was hung out to dry in the 2nd half due to predictable playcalling on offense. Who calls plays?

Predictable as in how exactly? Just bc plays aren’t working doesn’t mean they are predictable.

The 2nd half was exactly how Muschamp planned. They went straight press man mostly in cover 1. They took Kelly away and JG and our WRs couldn’t separation or make a big play. We had plenty of opportunities for 50-50 balls on vertical routes but what if JG just wouldn’t pull the trigger?

They were not pressing Callaway at all until the redzone.

Our WRs are weak

I’m not trying to defend butch at all but some people act like we have a loaded bunch NFL caliber players on both side of the ball and butch is just hand cuffing them totally. I’m just saying I think it’s a lot of both.

His players, his problem. He brought them in, "coached" them up, etc.

No matter how you view the failure of this season, it all falls back on Butch. If the problem is talent, then it's Butchs fault for not recruiting better players. If the problem is player development, again it is Butch's fault.

My biggest knock on butch til this year was he was a really overrated recruiter. Yea we would get some flashy starts but he and staff struggled with building a complete roster. Every year we’ve been thin at a vital position whether it be MLB/LB, DL, Secondary. It’s happened every year.

Yeah, he’s awful at building a roster imo. Butch is really bad at identifying players that fit his scheme, he can’t develop talent once it arrives, or utilize talent when he has it.

Predictable because our tendencies with certain formations are hilariously lopsided. We pass nearly 75% of the time we’re in trips. If we’ve got two TEs in the game, there’s an equally high chance we’re running the ball. If its an early down, higher even maybe.

JG compared to Dormady makes me believe so.

Jumper playing more than Bituli makes me believe so as well.

He doesn't play his best players.

I honestly don’t see it’s possible to be in year 5 at a major sec school with no scholly limitations, be having decent success, and be in the situation we are in at MLB.

Not everything bad is Butch's fault. But it's year 5. He has to have his team winning these types of games. You can't start 0-3 in the SEC, have the worst loss in Neyland Stadium history, and be giving games away against scrub teams.

Do you think another coach could get more from the talent currently on this team.

ECU IS bad.

I am and have been the leader of the Frost is a star since he stepped on campus at UCF. Just Don’t get hype over game by game showings, It’s the full body of work that is impressive AF
