Wondering how serious this is....

CU Buffs head coach search buzz: Tennessee OC Alex Golesh could provide offensive hope

If he is smart, he will steer clear

 

[volKano]

I just wanted to make the playoff. Even if we lost or even got blown out, making it would’ve been huge for UT and its future.

Not really. Cincinnati just did that.

I’m rewatching the the South Carolina game now. For the first time in my adult life, I turned it off middle of the 3rd and instead taped it. I saw no effort by the defense as a whole and no coaching adjustments. It was on the players AND coaching staff. I just hate this is the way Hendon went out. He and fans deserve better.

 

[VolGee4]

Ok…. This is going no where. You have mental problems.

Seriously, dude. Just personal shots. I have a law degree. You just think your opinions are facts. I present data, and you ignore. Talk about needing to grow up.

Anyone who says that our secondary is not the least talented group is not looking at the facts. I know, hard to understand.

 

[BigSteve09]

Please please please let this kid be the real deal

Please let Milton be improved enough to buy him time to develop

IF Boston College fires Jeff Hafley, I think he will be a top for defensive coordinator positions

AD affirmed him two weeks ago. I think he even said he would be coach next year

 

[voltn21]

Totally talent! Man, those talented Gamecocks just straight out talented us.

Dang that looks horrible.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Nico could be Heupel’s Deshaun Watson (inb4 massage parlor joke) with Hooker as his Tahj Boyd.

I thought about that exact same parallel today. Next...we need a Venables to build first a competent, then later a great defense.

I can't wait to see what Milton can do Saturday playing with all the offensive starters. Will be the 1st time this year and give us a great preview of what might be in store next year. The guy has worked his tail off, and by all accounts, is said to be a great team mate. My gut feeling is that he is gonna ball out!

I hope so but he still seems to have some air mail in him. I have a ton of respect for him and don’t want to see him get trashed by people if he struggles.

If they’re gonna fire him, they should fire him fully.

This is what I was saying yesterday. We're 2011 Clemson right now

 

[InVOLuntary]

That’s just dumb thinking. I guess Alabama and Florida have worse talent than us because LSU scored more. I guess we are on par with UGA because UK scored the same. Makes total sense.

So let me get this straight.... you use recruiting rankings as evidence of talent. Rankings that are basically opinions of sports writers, over actual results on the field. Comparing results to common opponents is about as real as it gets.

Ok…so let’s see who gets drafted from our secondary and from UGA and Alabama’s secondary. Those teams played worse or the same against 2 of our common opponents. If we have more drafted, then I will concede your point, and you will win.

I win when they fire Tim Banks. As a matter of fact we'll both win. The guy sux.

 

[Vol8188]

Give me the kid that shuts his stupid dumbass mouth, grits his teeth and plays better instead of running his mouth being a damn fool.

It is stupid...period.

Your level of anger over a kid talking trash is stupid…period

What?!?! Lol. You literally just said “you must have learned that from your toddler.” So you insulted me and my daughter. So I respond with you have mental problems and I am insulting you? I was nice in what I wanted to say. And am I suppose to be impressed? I know people who barely graduated high school and are millionaires and some of the smartest people I know. Degrees mean nothing and I have an undergrad and a masters.

And I’m not saying it’s good, but the talent stinks too. It’s both, and there was always a chance for what happened Saturday night. If we keep the talent the same, then no coach is going to beat Alabama again by scoring 52 points. We won’t catch those breaks again.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

It's embarrassing. I'm cool if someone has been consistent like Ulysses. It's super irritating with the flip floppers.

To be fair...I have flipped on the whole "Fire Tim Banks and Willy Martinez" situation....I could have understood a game where gave up 500 and 34, with the players we have those kind if numbers would make at least some sense in certain situations....but 60-f'n-3?....NOPE...I can not defend that. That is catastrophically horrible defense and they need to both go and see if somebody else can get better results out if this roster...because it couldn't have been any worse than that.

It still just blows my mind...SIXTY freaking THREE...to that pathetic crap offense...

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

What bums me about Tennessee’s defense is when Banks does dial up blitzes, our defenders take the wrong lanes and end up getting picked up or they take a bad route that gives the QB plenty time to find an open man with only one on one coverage.

They are vanilla and telegraphed...the teams always recognize them at this point and he is too stupid to come up with anything creative or new to confuse them.

 

[MarcoVol]

He wasn't trying to be unsportsmanlike! He was just giving a shoutout to his fraternity brothers in the Fraternity of Silly Walks.

“Unsportsmanlike” is when you step on a dude’s ankle after the play. High stepping from 30 yards out into the end zone is emphatically sportsmanlike

 

[Deebowbear]

It’s true Martinez and banks Both have been awful since they’ve arrived

I said before Heupel hired him we didn’t need him he was bad the last time

 

[VolGee4]

Come on man. Get over yourself. You just have trouble with facts that tend to go against your opinion. You have trouble conceding things. Seriously, the DL is more talented than our secondary. That doesn’t mean Garner is bad and that doesn’t show that Banks is good. But if clearly was trying to show what unit is the worst we have. It’s bad.

You were trying to be nice? Just have a rational conversation and consider what facts are presented.

 

[MarcoVol]

I don't understand why players want to be excessive with showboating, knowing they can and probably will get flagged for it.

Wasn’t very excessive. Just having fun playing ball.

I never said we had great talent. I said we had enough talent to keep SC from scoring 62. The talent needs to improve, I said that numerous times before. If you thinks he's getting everything out of the talent that's over there, good for you. As for me he's not maximizing the talent in the least bit. Actually he's making the players look worse than they are.
