Absolutely Horrible Game Management with 1:24 Left

[EastTNVol6240]

You are ridiculous...and hire who?

This is always a lame response. There is no guarantee with any hire. You take a chance at getting a better coach or you don’t. You can’t tell the future.

Ga had a heupel some years ago. His name was richt. He’d win you 8-10 a year but could never when the big ones when it mattered. Sound familiar? They took a chance. Does Kirby ring a bell?

 

[TartanTurff]

MSU operates their football program on about half of the resources, fan base, dollars and attendance of what Tennessee rolls with and you'd think that high school level coaching failures, wholesale defensive breakdowns, offensive mistakes and disrespect of the kicking game wouldn't appear on the Tennessee side, but they do and that is so annoying and hard to stomach on the Tennessee side, you'd want to think that our program should be significantly better than what we saw today.

Can't blame todays slop and ugliness on Nico, this one is an ugly day on the coaching staff, with a win that sits solely with the players who are tired of this coaching farce.

Letting that 20+ seconds run off was some Les Miles-esque stuff. At least we won, but wow.

 

[VOLumeS]

You have to "Play to win the game"

Had 2 timeouts left and lost like 40 seconds just letting clock burn. That was as bad as I have ever seen and I watched GA game.

Typical UT fan response. Truth is we are the best 5 yr stretch in a quarter century. How quickly we forget. Lol

 

[Volfan76]

Definitely not Heupel's strength. He needs to hand that off or hire someone to handle that role. This is 2 games this year where he dropped the ball in the final minutes of game management...and save me the "if this this and this happened, we would be talking .."

 

[Other_Guy]

The beginning felt like he was too scared of another tipped pick. The last felt like JA didnt play with enough urgency.

 

[VolCalls]

I love Heupel and UT football is fun. But he will never win an SEC or National Title.

I would agree, but Les Miles did and he was equally bad in this area.

 

[Baseball25]

It's like when it is crunch time he tries to lose the game.

 

[C-south]

Coaches scared versus to win the game

And it already cost us one game….this season.

He’s one of the best coaches in the game right now. We’re rolling with JH till we ain’t.

You probably one of those that always defended Dooley and Jones

Man some of those sunshiners were relentless

 

[BoroVol20]

This is a fireable offense

Stop.

 

[anbailey76]

You are actually comparing Heupel to Dooley and Butch?

 

[NighthawkVol]

Draw play with 15 seconds left? Let a whole minute just bleed lackadaisicaly. Horrible.

I was fine with the play calling if you’re going to use your timeouts. But we just let the clock run for some reason. Went into OT with 2 timeouts in our pockets instead of using them and having a chance to get closer for a FG. Stupid.

 

[TheVolsFrog]

Disagree. CJH let 25 seconds run to ensure that MSU wouldn't have any time if we didn't convert on 3rd.

You don't do that when you're not even in FG range.

 

[madbamahater]

I love Heupel but his time management is atrocious

 

[MurphyVol]

I would agree, but Les Miles did and he was equally bad in this area.

It can be done with an average in-game coach if you string together 4-5 consecutive #1-#2-ish ranked recruiting classes

The last coach NOT to win a championship at LSU was Gerry DiNardo

Man, what a game! So many mishaps! Still buckled down and pulled it out! Those are the games!!!!! When ur off, drop passes, deflections into TOs, still pull it out! HUGE!!! Go Vols! Great win!!!

 

[Tennman]

[BigOrangeTrain]

This is a fireable offense
