No excuses Coach. NONE. Fit it!

Yep
Something
Anything
Leave or fix it
I dont care at this point
Please don’t have banks as our DC next season

 

[SpringBokVol]

There will not be any coaching changes. The injuries will be used as the excuse.

 

[JT3]

Not beating a team with a winning record and losing 3 games at home is an eye opener.

Everything needs to be evaluated in the offseason.

 

[Jimmy Football]

I’m sorry, Coach Cafego. We let you down today.

 

[Memphisvol87]

Boo Carter is enjoying this.

Nobody is even thinking about boo Carter right now but you. And nobody will next year either. I’d bet money he doesn’t see the field again.

Hope he can handle the hot seat then lol
He keepers this staff it’s gonna be loud and unenjoyable and honestly if the staff stays I don’t think I have much excitement for next season

Not coming at you. F that. Banks has had 1 good defense in 5 years.

 

[Revived2002]

I confess - didn’t see that coming and didn’t believe we’d lose until we failed to stop that 3rd and 6 early in the 4th

I’m over it - life goes on. I resolved long ago not to let football games ruin my weekend. 8-4 is where I thought we’d be this year- rebuilding year.

That said, getting blown out at home by Vandy is inexcusable and we need to fire the defensive staff. The defense this year was awful. The five years of Tim Banks have been largely underwhelming, last year notwithstanding.

Get Joey back in 2026, and pair him with a competent defense and I think we have another fun year.

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

Pathetic end to the season. 3 home losses. Lose by 3 TDs to Vanderbilt at home. Unacceptable.

This is eerily similar to the 2016 season when we had so many injuries but had a dynamic offense, yet we still lost four games and was beat at home by Vanderbilt by double digits if I recall correctly. Remember Butch had a foot out the door and was rumored to be taking another job that was a step down (maybe UNC). Then we lost, they backed out, we kept Butch another year, and he had quit before 2017 started. 4-8 that season. Hope this isn’t setting up the same way.

Who tf cares about a kid who quit before the season started

Hurts doesn't it?

3rd and Banks.

Oh, gosh. Please, no.

I may take next year off.

 

[SoilVol]

Our last 3 coaches would have went 6-6 or worse with this team and would've got dogwalked by Bama and Georgia.

At the end of the day, 8-4 is what most thought would happen this summer based on the situation.

If Joey gets another year we need 9+ wins next year. It would be hard to swallow a b2b 8-win season with a veteran QB.

 

[peaygolf]

I want for today.........

OSU loss
Oklahoma loss
Bama loss
Vandy loss
Miami loss
Texas Tech loss

Welp….. so much for that idea.

I will say this. Vandy deserves the playoff bid more than Oklahoma.

 

[vol4eva]

Something looked off with the team today. Lethargic. Little sense of urgency.

This team is soft as snow.

We have a considerably tougher schedule next year.

 

[crawdaddyjc]

the older i get, the less and less i am such a die hard vol fan. i get more and more apathetic. i still watch but dont get angry. win or lose it is what it is. average 6-8 wins a year, a crappy bowl game and more of the same the following year.

That game was in Nashville fwiw (I was there)

 

[Jack Burton]

It’s hard to think of circumstances that would lead you to accept a 3 TD loss at home to Vandy. You would expect that our QB was injured or a coach left the team. Totally run out of our own stadium.

[Revived2002]

Yikes - not good numbers. Six straight versus Top 25 opponents?? Feels like we’ve gone in reverse a bit…

 

[nashvol1]

Pavia called his shot, came in and kicked your teeth in. Embarrassing lack of pride.

Then Heup needs to understand he’s coaching for his job next season.
