Recruiting Forum Football Talk IX

[berryvol]

Wife just picked me up and my Bluetooth hooked up. Was blasting Osborne bros Rocky top from when I pulled into the bar 6 hours ago.

A great reminder that we will outlast this staff and a lot of the money driven players. Rocky Top will always be home sweet home to me. I’m keyed up again. I’ve never hated bama more. I never loved the damn Vols more.

Usually teams improve week to week throughout the season, but we definitely seem to be getting worse each week.

Coaching

 

[gordonr24]

Florida, Auburn, Wisconsin, and potentially FSU are about to open up.

Clemson and LSU are getting warmer.

South Carolina may warm up soon.


This carousel season will be one for the books.

 

[Garren04]

Is it though? I mean, since 2022 we're 11-2, 9-4, and 10-3. We might drop an 8-5 dud every 4-6 years moving forward I guess. I'll take it.

Depends on what we do this year. 8 would be the absolute floor I think.

 

[SoilVol]

We are a solidified 10 win program as the ceiling. Gonna take a little better recruiting to change that. Maybe a coordinator change too idk.

This would make sense if this program didn't win 11 games already.

 

[mrMet]

Since Meyer for sure. But even since Meyer, Muschamp had an 11-win season, McElwain won the SECe twice, Mullen had two 11 win seasons and won the SECe. Napier is the only one who has done basically nothing.

A coach away…

And guess what yall did… fired them all lmfao

Thanks for proving our point. Clown university

Big Ten fans: “Worst call of the millennium???”

SEC fans: “One or two of those per Saturday.”

 

[GVol1966]

Y’all need to brace yourselves for a 9-game SEC schedule

Losing 2+ ballgames will be the norm

Playing good and losing is something that happens and nothing to get upset about.

Playing like crap and questionable coaching is.

We would be friends in real life

Fair, and I take it.

If a program regularly hovers between 8-10 wins annually, even in bad years, then when stars align you will make a deep run.

 

[vol4eva]

Can’t see this team making the playoffs. Big drop off on defense, and the offense makes too many boneheaded mistakes to overcome the awful defense.

 

[berryvol]

We would be friends in real life

Love you brother

 

[RiseToTheTop]

its amazing how it doesnt matter the opponent, situation or the yr, etc. Tim Banks will play the same way always. That MF doesnt do a thing during the week obviously.

 

[Jimmy Football]

Frankly, if we can find a path to keep Tony here, I’ll consider the weekend a win.

 

[Checker_the_Shire]

Ah yes because Vandy has played such a VAUNTED schedule. Clown

I mean they did just beat Top 10 LSU and hold two Top 25 wins (SC being ranked at the time) to our 0. So yea, I actually would have to agree that they are in a much better position than we are.

 

[pierce60]

Can't have a 14pt swing at halftime when they get the ball after half

Have to convert after a takeaway

Don't let them go 99 yards

Don't give 10 yard coverage cushions on 3rd down

Wrap up

Quit making pre-snap penalties

Don't waste timeouts

Play talented freshman

Only do 3 of those top 5 and TN probably wins. That’s not even playing perfect!

Watch them play and them come back here. They beat a top ten team today and we did not. Better coached team with way less talent. Give Heupel that team and see what he does. Moron.

 

[Midas]

I absolutely hate that we sub offensive lineman throughout the game. Reminds me of those Pruitt years. We need to stick with the 5 going into Syracuse week before Sanders got hurt. Sham averages 3 false start per game anyway.

We need to let that best 5 gel. They’ve hardly gotten to play with each other this year.

 

[Smokey123]

I hate Alabama so much. There’s nothing I hate more than watching them smoke cigars with 5 minutes left.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

It's midnight and it's not even Halftime for FSU. . .

Depth. Tackling started well- guys wore down in the second half.

I kinda think Tim Banks is over hated, but man does he wilt in big spots. We knew our secondary was outmatched today. We knew they were outmatched against OSU in the playoffs. Why not send the house and just live and die by our all world pass rush? We sent four all night and dropped into coverage.

We probably played enough defense to win, but we needed to create more havoc in the 2H with how the 1H ended. Why not send the house and live with the consequences? I’ll never understand it.

Poor wife is a nole. They are not good.

 

[LaagerVol]

The call was fine. He’s got to put it to the sideline and he didn’t.

Im not sure what’s hard to see here (the snark isn’t directed at you but it’s frustrating)

The call was the easiest call for their defense to diagnose. It was always gonna be a pass to Kitselman and they knew it. We all knew it.

I hate we can’t compete with Bama/UGA on the road.
