Chaney and Wilcox both should be fired

An idea: with the players we have now (especially at WR and RB), it seems that we are set up more for a speed/spread attack. Who would be a big name OC that could implement this style of offense? Is an offseason/spring enough to make it work? I have zero confidence that we will succeed next year with the current pro-style set.

Heistand has to go. Our O-line is soft and bad.

Chaney has to go. When you can't score over 10 to beat mighty Kentucky, thats just a sign from every god out there that you are a bad OC.

Dooley needs to take some action this off season to improve the comical level of coaching that is taking Tennessee down the crapper or else he's just a clown.

Oh, and I can't understand the hate on Wilcox. He seems to be the least of our worries, especially given the hand he was dealt.

The biggest problem with the D is containment, and I don't see that as a reflection of Wilcox. He's been solid.

I also don't get the love either. I wasn't exactly happy with our defense today (tackling wasn't very good again) but he held them to 10 points. It's moronic to blame the game on him in any way.

Wilcox easily deserves another year. I'm not his biggest fan, but he gets 2012. The D improved. That's all I can ask for.

I really like Chaney, but they really need to fire Heistand and hire a RB's coach.

I hate to say it, but if you look at their resumes, Chaney, Wilcox, and Dooley; the weakest one is Dooley.

In no way am I trying to start an argument with you, but doesn't every coach have to start somewhere? But I totally agree with you. He does have the weakest of the three.

On a side note, is Bob Stoops seat getting a little warm over there in Sooner Nation? I figure you would know since you live out there. I know a few OU fans and they are getting tired of the random losses that should be wins.

I'm not giving anybody "love," at this point. But, with a makeshift DL, inexperienced LBs, and a secondary hit hard by the dismissal of JJ and injuries, I think he has done a fine job.

What has impressed you about Wilcox? He doesn't adjust on the fly at all. It took him a whole half today to put 8 guys in the box to stop the run. He also has the defensive backs playing too soft. What has Wilcox done to warrant his NOT being fired? I'm interested in hearing your response....

Fire Wilcox?? Are you Nuts?? He has done an excellent job....only 1 senior on Defense... Heck... our defense is the only thing that has kept us in some games....

I don't follow OU but the rap on him is he can't win the big games, i.e. Texas, bowl games, etc.

I can't imagine a scenario where they would force him out. That progarm was in bad shape when he took over and won a NC and played for another.

Stoops is 8-5 against Texas. He also beat them 55-10 this year. I'm not sure that's one of the knocks on him, oklavol.

I can tell you with some confidence that Hiestand will not be coaching at UT next year.

What are your thoughts on getting a RB coach? I'm sure it will be brought up for discussion at some point this off-season.

Edit: I see you addressed my question in a post above. Carry on.

I agree, Chaney needs to go. I thought he was going to pan out well here after 2009 but that isn't the case now.

If you ask me, it is the fact he loses games that should be blowouts. He is a good guy (that I know of) and a good coach, but he always finds a way to lose one of those gimmie games. Especially this year with Texas Tech. Baylor was a great game so I don't count that as a gimmie game really. That and the fact that Oklahoma has a lot of talent just drives the stake even deeper.

Anywho, thanks Oklavol for the answer. I didn't think you followed OU, but I knew you'd be the best to ask.

Chaney - Wilcox - and Dooley need to stay.

Chaney has less to work with than Wilcox. He had one senior,, that underperformed. He has a QB with a broken thumb. He has a freshman and sophomore line playing against mostly seniors and juniors. His fall back guys are freshmen. His QB is a sophomore. The QB's main go to guy is a sophomore - double and triple teamed. Other than Poole - Rivera and Z Rogers are the only other upper classmen that have started on this young offense.

Not saying that Wilcox has it any easier. The D side of the ball is also decimated. Young and decimated. And they did a damn good job.

But all in all, it's one hell of a lot easier to throw an athlete into a physical match-up on defense than it is to throw an athlete into a skill position on offense and expect them to perform against juniors and seniors in the SEC. And believe it or not, an O linemen, with the schemes presented today, is one that is expected to be a skill position.

Bottom line is that our coaches will work this out by working with these kids.

You want to fire BOTH of our coordinators at the same time? Well if we're going to go that far lets just finish the job, fire the entire coaching staff, dismiss everyone on the team, sell Neyland stadium and start from scratch.

Basically what I am trying to say is that getting new coordinators in the same season is bad juju..
