Heupel's reluctance to improve his staff will be his undoing.

Yeap. “Friends” will get you fired. And that’s Heupel’s M O.

 

[Shakinthefat]

We're losing to Vandy this year.

Only if they keep their QB healthy

 

[m_scott]

I say stop blitzing, we need every single body beyond the LOS as possible

 

[Big Orange Captain]

I really like CJH, but as another poster mentioned kinda seems like Fulmer 2.0

minus the one natty and two SEC titles yes he is giving me Fulmer vibes here lately

 

[Caz]

3rd and slant incoming

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

3rd and long for Bama, here comes the Ty Simpson 20 yard pass for 1st down

 

[volmoon]

Odds of a stop on this 3rd and 9?

 

[lilesrt]

I’d like to ask an honest question and I’m not being a smart ass. Bamas first drive, on third down, our Defense could not get lined up. That’s not player error, that’s DC error. How exactly does player talent affect that? 11 5 stars can’t get into formation if they don’t know what the formation is.
Thats on Banks

I see what you’re saying and I get the frustration. We were singing his praises the past 2 seasons and now he’s been lackluster and now he needs to go? I don’t take for granted that we’ll hire someone better. Ask James Franklin about that one.

 

[tnvols72]

3rd and Banks incoming

 

[Bigorangefan 98]

3rd n. 9. Can we get off the field. ? Lol

 

[TheVolunteer002]

3rd and 9. Where do you reckon they're going?

 

[FlVols]

Simpson should be fired by Martin for his son playing for ALABUBBA

 

[butler5]

Dont care by how much, 1 or 100 , just Win!

 

[sonofUT62]

Last year we caught a bit of lightning in a bottle with all that talent we had on the d line and it unfortunately bought banks a few years because our defense looked legit. Kinda a double edged sword.

. I think that D line did for Banks what Dobbs did for Butch.

 

[Rocky Top T]

3rd and long again, what y'all think?

 

[orangerush]

Odds of a stop on this 3rd and 9?

Slim and none

 

[CPVOL]

Anyone give chit about Simpsons dad? WTH does he have to do with how bad our defense is

 

[ATLVols]

This game feels like the Butch Jones or Cornbread era right now. Can’t do anything.

 

[NEO]

3rd and 9.

Got our defense exactly where they want us.

 

[Butch s]

1. Why don’t we have elite talent? This is year five.
2. Does Vandy and Missouri have better talent than us. Hell, we are pretty much last in the SEC in defense and ranked over 100 in the NCAA. Does 100 teams in the NCAA have better talent?

Nope

 

[orange_glory]

Incoming Banks D blunder

 

[bpalmer28]

Outside of UGA . . . We have looked like this in SEC play.

i was trying to be nice

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

I really like CJH, but as another poster mentioned kinda seems like Fulmer 2.0

Accept to this point, not even as good as Fulmer was.

 

[VOLINVONORE]

Come on D. Time to turn this around.

 

[ibvolman]

3rd and 9. Wonder what Banks dials up to allow a first down?
