This loss is on Tim Banks

[GAVol]

Yeah, but running the offense so fast is a killer when you had a running back rush for 92 yards in the first half. Heupel did the same damn thing the second half. Hopefully he will figure it out. He knows more than me, but these newfangled offensive "gurus" are stubborn. White will address this I hope. Falcons lost a Super Bowl doing this same thing

Oh, I totally agree. The theory is obviously to score a lot of points and play bend but don’t break defense. There’s got to be give and take though.

Well its on huepel for keeping him around. Everything starts at the top.

CJP gets the Shula choice bama gave him in 2006. Fire them all and you can stay or you all have to go. To much talent to look this ******

8 yards rushing in the 2nd and 3 points, yep I stand corrected.

 

[VoLunTiTan7]

I haven't been on the board in a long time but I agree...time for Heupel to do the tough, but right thing and replace Tim Banks. We need a tougher, sounder defense that does not give up so many points. 41 to UGA, 34 to Miss St, 31 to Arkansas, 34 to KY and now 45 to Vandy.

 

[KnoxRealtorVOL]

When the offense is operating at hyper speed and not generating first downs, the defense is easily gassed.

No. The defense was out of position all night. We schemed like we didn’t know Pavia can run the ball.

This is on coaching.

 

[Mid Tenn Vol]

Honestly I’m glad we’re losing. We were going to a crap bowl game either way. Maybe coach will finally wake up and address the issues instead of letting his buddies hang around. This is pitiful

 

[BernardKingGOAT]

8 yards rushing in the 2nd and 3 points, yep I stand corrected.

And we had a RB run for 92 yards in the first half. This one is on Heupel and he forgot more tgan I know

I took this screenshot as we have 24 points on offense..... I can see a glaring issue with the game tonight and it isn't on the defensive side of the ball.

Then you don’t know wtf you are watching

 

[GAVol]

Dumbass PA is playing the 3rd down music.

 

[sonofUT62]

I glad Danny White makes the decisions and not fans.

That’s because he’s yet to see Neyland with 80 K people in it. When the people start voting with their check books and Danny Dollars will come around. He’s made UT football an extremely expensive but somehow mediocre product.

 

[VAVol85]

As I’ve been saying all season, this offseason will show whether Heupel will be here long-term. If no significant changes are made, then his clock is ticking.

This is a fair assessment. Heup has had time to get the roster where it needs to be and the staff where it needs to be.

This year’s defense absolutely reeks and the offense goes into its shell in crucial situations (like after getting turnovers, or just before halftime) or takes off entire quarters.

If Heup can recognize and fix these problems, that’s preferable. If not UT needs to start thinking about alternatives.

Then you don’t know wtf you are watching

Our offense averages 40+ per game and we just completed a game with 24 points scored. Are you seriously saying that this loss was solely on Tim Banks? lol

 

[MurphyVol]

This loss is on our head coached. Unless I fell asleep and missed Vandy recruiting a bunch of great players, getting a massive NIL budget and buolding amazing facilities

You don’t think defense is also an issue?

 

[jbr82]

Starting with VN on the goal line when VN HAS to pass and they are in a run defense. We have good players, they are continuously out of position or playing way off when they should be tight.

Everything starts with the HC

 

[Vato]

And coach H will still retain him.

 

[Ned Ray McWorkher]

This loss is on Tennessee. The Vols lost as a team. All 3 phases.

 

[Rickyvol77]

It would take a lot of money to get him here, but Ryan Walters would be a grand slam. Produced terrific defenses at both Missouri and Illinois. He’s in his first year at Washington and his them in the top 20. He was bad as HC at Purdue, but he’s a hell of a defensive coordinator.

Not a bad choice

 

[Other_Guy]

1. Banks
2. The players
3. Heupel

That’s the order of blame.

1. Players
Idc what the coaches do. I cant believe they let little brother vandy walk into their building who had a playoff berth on the line and got ran out of their own stadium. Call whatever plays they want, one team wanted it the other didnt.

 

[Rocky Top T]

No, it's on Heupel!!! He hired his sorry tail!

 

[Cartervol]

I think we knew this defense was bad before today happened. They need to address it in the off-season.

 

[FranklinVFL]

The #1 reason I think the entire defensive side of the ball should be fired: Not having a spy on Pavia as part of the game plan.

That should be a “fired for cause” level malpractice decision right there.

 

[Fred2000]

V scores tie TD before half. Get the ball after half. 12 second and 2 time outs remain. And you take a knee. And he’s done this and the like many times. This equals hot seat for firing on its own.

 

[OrangeInKy]

There are bigger issues than JUST Tim Banks . People acting like blasting Banks solves the problem

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

And who recruited those players that don’t give effort? Who continues to play those same players who don’t give effort?

Most of these recruits that Heupel recruited had many other big tike programs on their short list. Even some of the young guys don’t have the effort needed. These players are simply not making the plays necessary. You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make him drink.
