Sad some fans drink the koolaid and like it. Banks needs to be shown the door. 3rd and long bites us every game. We make scrambling QBs Superman all the time. When a starting corner goes down we don’t seem to ever have anyone ready to step up.! And this gimmick offense needs to be replaced with a more NFL style that focused on more crossing routes and less on snapping the ball so fast. I miss the I formation pound games. Defense wins titles. Not slinging it around 60 times a game. Yes we run the ball a lot. But we can’t seem to get 4th and short in critical situations when we need it. Warm up the moving trucks.

Just one question: Where would we be now if we don't lose BOTH starting All-SEC CB's before the season started?

What a weak a$$ thread! Y’all know better than this BS. TN is a missed FG away from beating GA this season, that’s not nothing. Bad luck, but that’s just football. Competing with a Kirby Smart GA team isn’t nothing. Sounds like I’m being arrogant, but it’s true. Today, and for the moment, if you can compete with GA, you have the potential to beat anyone. But go on and run off the best HC you’ve had in 20 years. See where that gets you.

7 wins a year will be the average for this coaching staff. The schedules get brutal and I don’t see us beating any good teams on a consistent basis. Fair or not Heupel will be on the hot seat next year watch

Dumb butt. Heupel has proven to be a great coach. He'll figure defense out. You go suck on your momma's teets again and grow up.

And everyone of us would trade coach for 90s success

I miss the 90’s Vols as much as anyone. However, I remember the same style arguments about Fulmer and Chavis. 3rd and Chavis or Fulmer won’t adapt his offense.

Fulmer started losing more when other SEC teams started upgrading their coaching staffs. Spurrier owned Fulmer. Then Saban owned him at LSU and Bama. Richt had his number at UGA too.

Good point, and we will never know for sure, but it’s possible, maybe even likely that the two close losses against GA and OK would’ve turned out differently. Who knows, that’s again just bad luck. It’s football, it’s part of the game. It’s impossible to know, but the TN defense would have certainly been stronger with those players.

And, we could have won the Bama game with those 2 on the field. Coming out of spring, there were 3 players we couldn't afford to lose and we lost all three. We more than made up for one with Aguilar.

We actually had more blowout losses in our 90s hey day than we have had with Heupel

We are 8 of 10 on fourth down conversions this season. This is the first season I recall that we had a starting CB go down and we had both of them. Colton Hood seems to have stepped up at least a bit considering his draft projections.

And, speaking of the 90s, our record from 2021 til now after Heupel took over is 43-18 with at least four games remaining this season. Our final AP ranking has been unranked, 6, 21, 7, and yet to be determined. Our record from 1991-1995 was 46-13-1 with final AP rankings of 14, 12, 12, 22, and 3. Our record the year prior to Heupel was 3-7. Our record in 1990 was 9-2-2 with an SEC Championship. Considering where we came from leading into both stretches, I'd say this decade is thus far matching up relatively well with the 90s.

Need a better DC. However there is no reason to believe what the OP stated. Heupel is STILL doing more with less. He inherited a weak roster. He inherited scholarship restrictions.

The OP's statement is the kind of loser talk that scares recruits away. Is that his purpose? if not... what is?

Seriously. We have enough cryass weaklings around here who pitch a tantrum and act like children when things don’t go their way. We don’t need more coming out of the woodwork after any loss.

These are not the people you want in your corner in life. You can tell who the miserable failures are. They come here and tell on themselves.

You’ve drank to much kool aid sir. The people you want in your corner are the ones that aren’t happy with a settling mindset.

If we don't step it up a notch or two on defense, better & more consistency on the OL and play with more diversity on offense every big game, then 7 or 8 wins per year are certainly possible. We should be winning 9+ every year with the facilities, support and financial resources we have. Hopefully we'll get there in the next couple of years.

You... you realize we are averaging OVER 9 wins a season under Heup don't you?
