Chaney

Chaney is 58 years old with no desire to be a HC, and UT will have paid him $4.8 million dollars by the end of 2021 when his contract expires.

I would not be surprised if he decided to retire at that point since he's going to turn 60 at the beginning of 2022.

In this time in the life a time of college football 2022 is a long time. That is as we live game to game but remember the bad of the last week.

All Vol fans, whether they focus on JG or the OL seem to agree that the Offense as a whole looked horrid. Defense played well enough to win (at least until they got gassed by -13 minute time of possession stat). And the responsibility for the offense as a whole is on the Offensive Coordinator and the Head Coach who employs him.
I don't believe that many on here understand the level of defense Georgia puts on the field. This is as talented of a defense as any that Alabama, Florida, or anybody else has ever had. Georgia will have back ups go in the draft. We played with them for over 3 quarters. The offense did have issues but they were in large part due to Georgia's defense I for one was encouraged by our overall play. I was disappointed in the outcome but if all one sees is the final score, they don't really understand the game very well.

Whether he should or shouldn't go is debatable, I just wouldn't be surprised to see him retire given his age and the fact that he made bank off of Georgia and us these last few years.

I wish they would quit with the deep fade to the sideline. It’s a low percentage pass. And like someone posted, quit throwing on 3rd and 2 especially deep.

Chaney is pedestrian. His offenses aren't dynamic. They are predictable. They rely on as close as possible to perfect execution to be effective. When his plays get stuffed, he has no answer. That's his MO. He isn't near the play caller Cut was, and can't about sniff the region of little Spurrier or Kiffen. He ain't going anywhere either. No one else will pay to take him away, he doesn't want to go and Pruitt won't run him off. I like Chaney, I just know he needs a head coach that will push him outside of his comfort zone and Pruitt isn't gonna be that guy.
I wouldn't be too sure about that. I'd say Pruitt let 'em know in a polite manner they, (cjc, cwf, ctm), need to step up their game or he won't be so polite next time. What many people are failing to understand, (and this isn't excuse making), is that UT had too many players having to go through quarantine while other teams in the league faired a lot better. The loss was ugly because of the way it occurred and because of what I stated above. The reality is we're very close to being just as good as UGA and Pruitt is likely mad at himself for letting Kirby get away with some of the stuff he pulled.

A better question is. When it's third and two why are you throwing the ball thirty yards down field ?
It's extremely dumb unless a great opportunity presents itself. I would be ashamed if my offense had zero sustained drives for a whole game and only put up 14 points.

I didn't like that particular call on 3rd down ( all go routes) but understand why were take so many shots. It was because anyone with a like of foofball sense knows we were not going be able to drive the field on Georgia. Big plays and short fields were our only hope. It will be the same against Tennessee's defense soon.

Chaney is handicapped by a 5th year senior who has hit his ceiling, and prone to melting down under pressure.

Chaney has to have a gun slinger at QB to be successful. He gets pass happy very easily. The problem is he has JG and he's just not that kinda QB. Chaney refuses to change his mo to fit inside JG's capabilities. When Chaney gets a Bray type QB thats when his scheme and play calling clicks. Next year if Harrison is what he is billed to be Chaney is gonna look like a genius.

I think the bigger issue is we faced a historically good defense. This isn’t an average Georgia defense. It’s probably the best unit in the nation and the best we’ve seen since 2016 or so Bama

Agree 100%. If we just don't turn the ball over 3 times and punt instead, making Georgia go the length of the field and eliminate the knucklehead penalties, then despite JG's play (sans the TO's) and JC's play calling, the Vols are still in this game late with a punchers chance to win. That's not bad against what appears to be perhaps the best team in the country on the road. Every game we have left on the schedule is actually winnable. If we can run the ball successfully against Bama and Florida, which looks very doable, I think we can limit the possessions the Tide and Gators get and score enough on them to come out ahead. After seeing everyone else on the schedule for 3 weeks, I think we have an equal or better roster than anyone else left other than Bama and Florida, and not only can win but should win those games.

Sooo, why not replace JG, who we all know is not an "A" QB? This is Chaney's call, not Pruitts. And if Pruitt really claims that call, than shame on our HC.

Chaney sucks this year, regardless

It's the one pass in which JG is relatively consistent. If you removed that from the playbook, he would have next to no downfield passing options that could be counted on.

How hard would it be to hack into the box coms to steal plays? Not saying that that was going on last Saturday, but, with today's technology and with what's on the line, I'd be sweeping the box for devices. Probably should have at least two different people calling down different plays.

Nah. Georgia blew our offense up. BUT, we should have been punting. The second half should have been an ugly defensive slugfest.... but ya know... 3 fumbles and a pick.

I will say I wish Chaney would stop throwing on 3rd and 2. It’s getting predictable.
Depends on how the running game is doing that day. A wildcat/RPO might be effective in those situations.

That is the million dollar question. Hopefully he gets replaced during the Kentucky game.

I truly hope your take is correct. It is very easy to be discouraged right now when so many of us expected this to be the game where we showed we were back to mattering again. Hard for me anyway to see any bright side. But this actually makes a lot of sense

There was a lot that went wrong Saturday on the offensive side of the ball. Our QB play was terrible and the RBs/Oline all had bad games. But what did you guys think? Personally, I didn’t think our OC was on his game. The players didn’t looked prepared, it didn’t look like the game plan was very good, nor were the adjustments. Ive called plays before and admit, sometimes you can’t do anything right. But how in the world were screens and draws not part of the plan playing against that defense. How come backs were running routes and not staying in to block more? It’s simple math that when the defense brings 6 guys, a back needs to stay and protect. I think Chaney needs just as much blame placed on him as anybody for what happened Saturday.

Yeah, I recall noticing on two successive plays we got pretty good pressure on the QB, came charging in on the 3rd down and GA ran a little slip screen for easy first down yardage - and I specifically remember the "dammit, why aren't we doing that" thought going through my head. But I still think GA's D is for real and that they'll embarrass a bunch of teams this year.

Wish Cheney would incorporate the RB Screen more in his offense, especially on some third down situations. Think 3 & 8 could do some damage with the play. That’s the only offensive play I miss from Butch Jones.

I have a sneaking suspicion that 0-34 on rb screens in 2019 may have led to a different idea entering the season. Although I've seen 3 or 4 actually be completed this year.

He needs to lose weight...and be a better role model for the team. Right now he sends out the impression that he simply does not care because of his appearance.

I keep hearing how great Georgias defense is and that's the reason we lost.
We lost because of our ineptness on offense which is because our offensive coordinator doesn't know how to adjust.
Especially against a team he should know like the back of his hand. He coached there just recently.

Is the offensive line on the take?? Nobody plays this bad!!

What adjustments would you have made? Chaney had us in the right call most of the time, can't blame him for poor execution.
Example: The infamous playJG threw the interception. The running back was on the right side for the blitzer coming off the edge, JG even made the correct read but he double pumped (hesitated) threw a bad ball as he was getting hit and it became a pick.
