This!!! This!!! This!!! This!!! This!!! Kelly only 14 touches (for 94 yards, I might add)...If this is a "run first" offense, I would hate to see a "pass happy' one.

Some have said that Dobbs is making the decisions at the line.

Maybe he didn't mean every team, but I can say with certainty that Bama didn't do anything different against UT than they've done against any other team with a mobile QB.

Fact is. You can throw in a wrinkle or 2 in a week that may be something you havent shown. But at the end of the day you get back to doing what you do.

Having said that, UT had an extra week to gameplan some extras. Im not sure we did anything different and didnt do anything well.

Could someone tell Debord that's because teams know that Dobbs can't throw the deep ball and our o line couldn't push a middle school team out of the way. That's why teams do different stuff against us. He needs to go back to coaching swimming

I guess that explains the slow first halves.

Try the base package, if it doesn't work, make halftime adjustments.

Sure would be nice to get a full game out of our offense.

DeLazy Basturd! Let's take him off the DeCafe and get some work out of him!

Not to be a Debord apologist ...but the guy has really been given an impossible task. The task being to run a layered west coast passing tree out of a spread with a QB that cannot make intermediate throws, SC abandoned the intermediate pass , mush rushed the front, and set the LBs to attack the run down hill. They did not rush the QB and WRs were open all night .

Debord is a power I guy. His offense would be more beneficial to Dobbs and Hurd. So do you bring another guy in to run Butch's offense with players that are not suited to run this offense ? If you do you will get the same result.

The broader and question is why are we running this offense with a QB that can run but not pass and a running back and TE that would flourish in a power based running .

Well a blind man with a jig saw can count the number of different wrinkles our offense has per game on his bad hand.

From Jalen Hurd's departure latest blow for fading Tennessee Volunteers - SEC Blog- ESPN

With the offense a mess, the defense, which was hit the hardest by injuries, has been mostly solid -- outside of the Texas A&M and Alabama games. If anything, Tennessee's defense should be holding this team back, but it's actually superseding expectations, while offensive coordinator Mike DeBord admitted to not seeing a lot of what opposing teams have run in games on film.

That comes down to making adjustments -- and the defense has adjusted to injuries better than the offense has adjusted to its opponents.

say what? :huh: Does anyone know where Debord admitted this? If true, that is really just inexcusable on so many levels. You cant just have your own scheme and think you can run it with impunity. Maybe that is why its hard to make half time adjustments?

Might help if he weren't watching 8mm film from the 70's... just a thought....

no but I can hear/read a statement and understand what it actually means. I've made no excuses for anything or anyone. Anyone thinking he's not watching any game film is really not thinking straight

You'd be suprised how stupid most Vol fans are. Then again, maybe you wouldn't.
Part and parcel of any OC's job is knowing the individual matchups. My Left Guard against theirs, etc. Then knowing how to coach your QB on how to make the frikin read on a read option. Yeah, Debored is watching film. He's just not able to run his offense effectively. Remember, Kamara likes the offense. Now that Hurd is gone, we will see whether Debored can adjust.

Think it is time to make it either a run or a pass play not have the option of both.. AND have Dobbs spend at least 30 minutes of practice throwing 10-20 yard crossing, outs, and slant passes to work on his throws.

Well, that's pure horse pucky when it comes to Florida and aTm.....

Florida didn't change much at all of what they have been running successfully against us on Defense over the past several years....

And aTm ran the same basic scheme that they've ran all year with John Chavis at the helm.....A lot of Cover 2 man under with some cover 1 mixed in to keep a safety deep in the middle of the field--just like Chavis has always done.....and blitzed when we were making big plays....and mixed in some run blitzes and slants to stop our run game--all of which didn't work very well....

Bama just lined up and smashed us....

USCe has the worst rated run defense in the SEC.....they did run more run blitzes against us on 1st and 2nd down...and then rushed 3 and dropped 8 during the game......that was too easy to see...so why couldn't he adjust to that terrible defense???

Just get rid of that dufus.....

Agree wholeheartedly with you there....:hi:

And, KB--I gave you some crap earlier this year about Debord/CBJ and their offensive acumen.....and after 8 games this year--I've come to your side in agreement...

Both CBJ/Debord are flat out terrible as offensive coaches.....that was the worst game plan against USCe I've seen out of CBJ.....

I'm leaning heavily into falling off of the CBJ bandwagon....

What struck me was the tone as if he was saying "this only happens to us, no one else...we are the only team that watches game film and then get to the game and those gosh darn teams aren't following the script for us." Pretty unbelievable

Remember CBJ with the coach talk about "product on the field" and watch this and think to myself in a joking manner, hey that's false advertisement. Or maybe, they don't watch the opponent's film until half time. And when the half is over, they are like "but we haven't finished the film yet". :peace2:

This is a guy that was cleaning pools the last few years and knew his football days were done... Then, out of nowhere, Butch offers him the OC job at one of the most prestigious SEC football schools. Just a stupid dumb move by Butch and he's paying for it now.

This just reeks of incompetence. With statements like this there is no way that his contract will be renewed and perhaps that is why he's making them, he has nothing to lose.

And what did coach thig say last week, about how we struggle against certain style qb's, essentially trying to assure us the upcoming games would be diff -- and look how we struggled against the eSC qb's ability to pass (and that was a high schooler).

This staff has problems.

In my mind this coaching staffs failures can mostly be linked to one failure. The failure to get any real improvements in Josh Dobbs as a passer. His inability to consistently make anything but short throws has made offense impossible agaiginst competent defenses. It turns out that the SEC has several of those.
They see different things out of defenses bcause defenses don't have to respect our passing game even in obvious passing downs. They can crowd the line of scrimmage, shut down the short passes which also tends to limit Dobbs as a runner.
