There is no way anyone with a brain half the size of a tics brain can say we were a well coached team last night.

And for those finding solice in the fact Petrino was 5-7 in his 1st year with the Hogs, you need to remember this is not our coaches 1st year with the Vols. Ark has gotten better each year. That's called progress.

Ok what should he have done different? What can he do with this young, beaten, bruised, injured team that will make them beat the best teams in the country?

He could do what every coach is doing dealing with similar issues with their teams at this point in the season, HIS JOB! Teams are a reflection of their coaches.

It does not "all come down to coaching". That's ignorant. Go tell Jack Lyngel of Marshall that his first year (of only winning 2 games) was all about his coaching.

In the SEC the players you have on the field HAVE to be superior in talent than your average CFB player. We don't have that luxury TBH

So no seniors and one junior on the OL

One senior on the DL(brought in by Dooley as a transfer)

Can that reflect on the lack of leadership and coaching of Fulmer?

Could coaching be better on the OL? Yes
Offensive Play calling? Maybe
DL? Not coaching
Secondary? Not coaching
ST? has improved, except for last night and that wasnt coaching
HC? Cant win a card game with the other hands stacked against you and you're holding a 2/3 off suit

Something tells me its pretty hard to win the SEC with:
1 junior, 3 sophomores, and a freshman on the oline
A freshman QB who was originally the 3rd string
No running backs coach
Our best receiver out since the Florida game
We now only have what 2 starters on our D that started last year?
With that being said our all sec safety was kicked off the team a week before the season started
Our other safety is out for the rest of the year
Our only returning linebacker broke his ankle and will miss the whole season
We played Arkansas, bama, lsu, south carolina, georgia, and florida with the youngest team in American that is 70 PER CENT FRESHMEN AND SOPHOMORES

Yeah they may seem poorly coached but hell with the said reasons what do you expect? Some people refuse to get it. I'm probably one of the few who will still support this team if they lose to Vandy and Kentucky. I fully believe next year is different.

I'm pretty sure that's what we all said last year.

I agree with you, Count, but it's getting harder and harder to watch our games. I still love my Vols and still support Dooley, but my confidence in him is dwindling every week.
Honestly, I'm just ready for this season to be over!

I'm starting to think we have some coaching issues. I've been a Dooley supporter and still like they guy but we seem to have made little to zero improvements at most positions, game planning and adjusting at half time.

O line had at least two drive killing 3rd down penalties last night. Thomas is a two year starter and James is a two year starter. Is it fair to call a two year starter inexperienced? This is we will all differ. Do you put costly penalties on the 2 year starters or the coaching? I think it's the coaching because we have these same freakin false starts and holds every week on third down.

2nd and goal on the 5 before the half and you try and have Worley throw across middle instead of calling running or screens? I like our chances much better trying to run it in or a pass in the flats than having a young inexperienced qb make a play in the middle.

If we had pounded it in and kicked the fg earlier instead of the fake call (maybe it was too windy not sure), it's 21-17 at half time and you have a ball game. I put those 10 pts squarely on the coaches along with momentum shift.

With all that being said, we can't get rid of Dooley yet. We've gotta keep him around at least one more year to build stabilty, especially since he can recruit fairly well. I hope he is able to learn from his and his staff's mistakes just as they ask the players to learn from mistakes.

I hope some changes are considered with the staff though, particularly with CJC. The Sprint Draw Scheme he and Dooley have tried to implement is horrible and not gonna fly in this conference.

Dooley specifically said that wasn't the play call. Big Freshman mistake by Worley

Thats happened in 2 of the last 3 games now where UT threw an interception when down inside the opponents 5 yard line.
How many interceptions does UT need to throw before the coaching staff addresses this?

How should they address it?

You can tell Worley, but it is still ultimately on his shoulders to make that split second decision to pull the trigger or not.

In hindsight, we have minutes, hours, days to say what we would have done in that split second. We can see the field better from our perspective, than what he sees. Down on the field, with bodies flying all around you, its different. By 100 fold

A freshman QB doesnt have the luxury of a panoramic view, in HD.

Way to nail it down. Now put that in a PowerPoint and email it to Hart.

There is no analogous situation to what UT has dealt with the past four years.

Additionally, there is no correlation between brain size and intelligence. If so, Andre the Giant should have been a quantum physicist.

Furthermore, a tic is not a tick. I see what you mean, but its obvious from your writing that you are not a stickler for details. That's probably hindering your capacity for rational analysis.

Just sayin'.

You BFF's kill me. If you really think that was as well coached team last night you should watch ESPN top plays of the day.

I agree with this thread. It's one thing to lose that bad. It's a whole different story to lose that bad and not show up to play. Embarrassing.
