Name your biggest complaint from this season

[agent|orange]

What Joey Aguilar said, which I believe is true, should Anger Every Tennessee fan!!!

This team looked more like a late era Dooley/Jones team. Clueless, weak and slow.

 

[molsen81]

Heupel clock management

 

[Volhoops]

Heupel lack of killer instinct. Gets a lead early and coasts. Denies Vol nation our desire to stomp the gators into oblivion.

Agreed. When you teach your team to lay down for a half against an SEC team then bad things like Vandy can happen because they laid down again.

 

[BernardKingGOAT]

Not running the ball enough

 

[rocketskates]

Losing to Vandy by 21. Far and away my biggest complaint. With a roster of 50% freshmen, I can live with dropping close ones to quality opponents, I can’t take losing by three scores to our in state rival who talked trash for the last 5 months about how they were gonna beat us…and we LET THEM.

It makes me absolutely sick. How can a coach not motivate a team to want to beat the crap out of a team that acts that way? It blows my mind.

You know this is a great point. I was in favor of milking out the Florida game and taking the win without injuries, but in a way I think it made us even softer because it clearly carried over into the Vandy game. Bishop was probably the only player on offense who played like he cared. Probably because he’s a local kid and hates Vanderbilt, but still.

 

[Illinoisvolfan2]

No halftime adjustments ever. The teams gets worse in the second half. That’s unacceptable

 

[usagary]

Losing to Vandy in the fashion they did. Looked like they quit. After the things the punk Vandy QB said that's kind of disturbing..

Yes. With Vandy running their mouth even before the season, you’d think Heupel would have them ready to rip the guys head off and if you have one ounce of pride you NEVER let happen what happened. There’s no pride and no fight and no willpower. He’s lost the will to stomp the opponent for some reason. It began at halftime when we played at Oklahoma. Since that moment he’s lost the will to fight 4 quarters and it shows.

 

[superdave1984]

Lack of consistency on defense, especially against the run

I think pride and playing for that T on your Helmet has been replaced by how much money you going to pay me. College football should have never gotten to this point. I wouldn't want to be a College coach in this environment. I take that back. I'd let them hire me then make them fire me and get that insane buyout..

 

[Les Paul Vol]

Heupel and his clock management . Sloppy and undisciplined football team

 

[EastTNVol6240]

Discipline- exactly 0 to be spoken of.

 

[Brave Volunteer]

My complaint,

We dont bully other teams like I wish we would. We are soft, physically and mentally. It's something I have felt under Huepel's program since he's been here, even in the winning seasons.

 

[theknox]

TACKLING

 

[volfeeva]

The Georgia game, going for a FG instead of trying to put them away. That cost us the game, not the FG kicker

 

[Smokymtnbullet]

Our Swiss cheese defense melted too much.

 

[Mid Tenn Vol]

Clock management, half assed effort and stupid penalties ! Not keeping foot on the gas. He coaches like Barney fife sometimes and the horrible defense.

 

[G8rh8r]

We digress as the season progresses

 

[JGB]

Getting our doors blown off by the Dores.

 

[SicEmSmokey33]

3 L's in Neyland and getting man handled by loud mouth little brother

 

[Carl Pickens]

1. Exlax defense
2. Lack of physicality on defense
3. Defensive line play
4. Linebacker play
5. Looked soft everywhere much too often

 

[VolRage]

Defense sucked ass. Offense played well in the 1st half and then sucked ass in the 2nd half.

 

[Coy53175]

The mis management of a guy named Boo

 

[Tnphil]

What Joey Aguilar said, which I believe is true, should Anger Every Tennessee fan!!!

We are a soft football team....And that starts at the top.

 

[FranklinVFL]

Defense, second-half offense, and end-of-half clock management

Exactly what this guy said right here.
