No offense to Ramon but it’s just not true. Heupel has adjusted his offense almost every year, we went really slow the last two years. And we are back to some tempo but we still have longer drives and slow it down a good bit. We could get a proven DC. This is a way of saying we will hire from within and say that we couldn’t hire form outside the program.

And it has been pointed out nationally that our offense has incorporated more elements that are pro style

More teams are running tempo now versus when CJH was hired and agree a proven DC. Personally would like to get a young “up and comer “ who is aggressive. It would be a ridk but think the O would cover some deficiencies as they do now.

I don’t want Heupel gone but if he were to leave the Vols would be fine with White.

Don't care how good of an AD White is- competing for a head coach against Fl St, Ark, Florida, LSU, Penn St, Auburn and more before the season ends would be a disaster. A lot of teams would kill for the problems we have right now

I wish a large faction of this fan base would be quiet. I promise, and it would NOT surprise me in the least to see OK or one of these schools with a vacancy make a play for JH.

Think you'll see how much other's think of our coach versus our own opinions.

Fans opinions don’t matter with a strong administration.

We basically abandoned tempo for the majority of the Alabama game and you could tell the gameplan was to slow down and sustain drives. I don’t think we’re ever going back to the speed of that 2022 offense.

I think we will go more tempo if we ever get a great QB for more than 1 year that can read a D and execute.

All about personnel.

They have been spot on. The teams and coaches shrink on the road under Heup.

It is on Heup to fix it. DW needs to make sure he does. We all see the issues just as they described. The biggest besides individual player performances is situational awareness by the staff. The next is not progressing as a team, not getting better knowing that you will be facing better competition.

Ramon Foster just mentioned on the radio: a fan asked when Banks will be gone. Ramon said even if he leaves, it’ll be really difficult to get a respected DC here because of the style of offense. I think it’s a fair point.

This is gonna come across like I'm bashing a former player and I don't mean it that way. Ramon is likely just parroting what other talking heads and coaches are saying, assuming that because they're "in the business" they are speaking intelligently.

I'm so tired of all the panty-waisted, soft, placating, apologist, excuse-making "defensive experts" whining about offensive style. You know what, sack up and teach a damn defense some fundamentals. How to tackle. How to read cues. How to exploit tendencies. How to line up correctly irrespective of motion. How to get into position in zone defense without losing track of the ball. How to take proper pursuit and coverage angles. How to maintain situational awareness regardless of the environment.

How long the defense is on the field is COMPLETELY up to them. Not the offense! You want a break, get a few third down and fourth down stops and you'll have more time to rest. You want off the field, watch more film and understand where you're supposed to be on each play. You want more rest, learn how to break down and tackle in the open field.

If the only way you can play good defense is to only have to defend 3 drives per half, then in today's environment, you are not a good defensive coach. I get the whole "more drives = greater opportunity for failure" but more 3 and out's = more rest too, regardless of the number of drives you have to defend. This crap about highly productive offense being a liability is total excuse making 🐴💩

So you have to work a little harder or a little longer, so what? The main concern shouldn't be just finding the easiest path to success, but doing whatever it takes to ensure success.

Rant over, until Saturday when we give up our next 3 and 17 conversion.

1st year in system QB. Three brand new starting WR. Recruiting is on him, as is personnel.

Let's have this discussion again after KY game.

I’m not sure I completely agree with this. If you listen to him every Saturday with Mike, he’s pretty critical on certain things or when events happen. It’s a breath of fresh air because it makes the broadcast team actually feel like human beings and not just parroting the university’s image.
