Just a RUMOR....JB tried to fight Hooker over NIL and the defense supported Banks. Defense plays with 0 effort tonight. Like I said...a RUMOR.

Honest question. Since these guys have their NIL’s and are basically pros, can the school revoke scholarships. I mean, most don’t give a 💩 about academics anyway, so shouldn’t they be punished if they don’t perform …..ESPECIALLY if on purpose.

His hire is the most baffling to me and it’s not hindsight. There was no connection there to begin with and he wasn’t a full time DC with play-calling duties. I genuinely wonder what made Heup say that’s who I’m going after.

Danny White hand picked him. It was basically a diversity hire.

Terrible defensive game plan. Also saw too many damn players running their mouths and getting chippy for no reason at all..

If I was Heupel, I'd be hard pressed not to send Hadden to the damn house..

I agree. He gets his a$$ beat and he’s running his mouth. Moron can’t back it up. T

Our pass defense has been living on borrowed time all season. Alabama exposed them. They were exposed somewhat at Georgia, and they were exposed bigly tonight. I'm not expert enough to know whether it's players or coaches, or both, and I suspect most here aren't either. I'll leave it to Heup to figure that out. That's his job. But I do know this program hasn't had enough time to build a roster that can make us a genuine nattie contender. That'll take a couple more years.

Our task now is to beat Vandy, then win our bowl and then win the offseason with recruiting, transfer portal, and player development. Turn the page and press onward and upward.

Kentucky is the only game where our Pass Defense looked good for the whole game.

Most of you are blind. Blitzing wasn’t working. blitzed all the first half. They got the ball out quick throwing basically punts and knew our corners wouldn’t make a play on the ball. By second half we were making the adjustments but had given them confidence and then extended their drives with stupid penalties (that I blame mainly on poor officiating). Worst showing by a defensive backfield since sunseri defense. Literally killed all the momentum we made this season with a pathetic excuse for a playoff push. You had one job.

What happened? We got straight taken behind the woodshed. It wasn’t really that hard to comprehend. Beaten in every way possible.

Stop trying to explain it away and accept that SC just embarrassed us.

Don’t make it worse.

I get to go watch some grown ups from the 90's ...old school UT football when the players looked and played like men not boys.
Oh and we had a thing called defense that helped us win a lot. Good times 😊

What do you know?
Because that does not fit with what I know about Danny White.
I have not heard anything about admin shoving coaches down Heupel's throat.
Heupel seemed to want Banks for his attacking defensive philosophy.

I remember reading g about White making this hire. He was originally heck bent on hiring Tony Elliott or Franklin as head coach.

What happened to our defense?? Banks didnt play. Offense wasn’t good either. Hooker kept underthrowing receivers. I know we gave up 24 to Mizzou last week but we turned it around. What happened today?

Something must have happened leading up to this disaster. I can't believe we were not prepared for this game. The vibe was bad from the opening kick off

Banks didn’t have a clue against Purdue last year and he was clueless again tonight.
The secondary is very limited, but damn

He should have just said f it and zone blitzed all night sprinkled with some cover 0. Trust me that strategy led me to be undefeated in Madden 2 years straight in 16 and 17. But seriously dudes gotta go.
