Fundamentals are taught in high school not in collage and for both sides of the ball play call wise it is small stuff that is killing this team missed assignments running the ball is ok at times but that comes with s&c if the coaches have to teach fundamentals rebuild will take them a whole lot longer a lot of the problem is execution and they don't have the depth to pull the ones who don't execute and

Tennessee does not start 16 true freshman! I think your confused with the number of true freshman who have played.

Yes I was wrong on the staring of 16 but they have played 16 true freshmen so what's the difference sill a lot of freshmen who don't know all the play on defense or offense

So you admit you were wrong, right? And OSU has lost 4 games, almost lost to Toledo, and hasn't play 4 top 10 teams in a 5 week stretch. But nice try.

No I fail to see how I'm wrong. Last I checked we lost 6 I went to public school and even I know 6 losses > 4 losses just saying its math! Toledo would beat Tennessee this season. OSU beat a ranked Illini team, a ranked Wisc. team. We lose to a mediocre Florida team, a mediocre USC team, and can you name one thing we did in the 2nd half of the MTSU game? I agree the SEC schedule is tough and that's what I'm saying Dooley is not cut out for head coaching at this level.

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.

No, UT was not a well-coached team last night. That part you got right. The coaching staff has some serious learning to do, and probably a few changes to make before they gel.

I don't compare Dooley to Petrino, Saban, Muschamp, or any other coach. He will stand, or fail, on his own merits.

You don't like Dooley. You think he was a bad hire. We get it. Ad nauseum.

When or if Dooley is fired, you can Lord it over those of us who thought he was the right choice. I'll take my lumps in the forums.

And if he turns out to be a winner, you can trade that guru label for a Village Idiot t-shirt.

I figure we'll know for sure next year.

Meanwhile, Go Vols.

There is a chance Dooley pulls it out, but he's got to step it up this off season, recruit like he never has before, and get his coaches to work this spring a lot more than they have to this point. I thought he was a terrible hire, but will admit that he's, at least, better than I thought he was, in some aspects of the job.

What we're seeing now simply doesn't cut it as UT football. Even when we've had losing teams, we have always had pride. These guys play like crap and it doesn't seem to bother them. A little Tennessee grit would help even if we are out-talented.

So you fail to realize that you are wrong when you said Ohio St. starts 7 freshman or sophomores on defense?

DE 54 Simon, John
RT 52 Hankins, J
NT 53 Goebel, Garrett
LT 93 Bellamy, Adam
WLB 42 Sweat, Andrew
DBML 26 Moeller, Tyler
SLB 6 Sabino, Etienne
LCB 7 Howard, Travis
LS 2 Bryant, C
RS 4 Barnett, C.J.
RCB 25 Roby, Bradley

Please find 7 sophomores or freshmen on that starting defense from this past weekend.

With 4 players on D that are sophomore or younger and 7 on O Ohio State is younger than us, and they are finding a way to win. It's because they have better coaching Dooley was a stretch as a hire in the SEC. We will never be competitive in the SEC under Dooley.

The players on offense that are freshman are sophomores revolve around the passing game, yes or no? They are 118th out of 120 teams in passing offense. Amazing point you brought there.

You forget they have a stud senior tailback along with 3 seniors on the offensive line. And once again they play in the Big 10 where Penn St. is considered a great team.

And once again you are wrong on "they are younger than us."

Worley- FR
Rogers- SO
James- SO
Bullard- SO
Fulton- SO
Jackson- FR

So at QB, they have the same experience. At WR, it is the same experience. They have more experience on the OL. They have more experience at TE. They have more experience at RB.

On defense:

They have more experience at LB, they have more experience in their secondary, and they are about the same as far as experience on DL. And they have all that without losing their best two playmakers, and 2 of their best 3 defensive players all while playing in a much inferior conference.


Care to look any dumber?

Rivera is JR Stoneburner also a Jr. Herron is a SR same as Poole, Poole should be considered more experience since he doesn't rush against teams like Penn St who I'm sure he couldn't gain 50 yds against. Actually the linebacking crew is 2 Sr and 1 Jr for UT and 1 Sr and 2 Jr for OSU DL they OSU has 2 So and a Jr and Sr They have 4 starters that returned this year from last on D UT had 5 return. On O UT returned 7 while OSU returned 6. Oh your right Ohio state wouldn't know about losing their best playmakers???? Who was Pryor? Where was Herron the first 5 games? Ever hear of Devier Posey?

Whatever credibility you had went flying out the window with this brilliant statement. Yea, Poole's just having a blast playing these easy, no-defense SEC teams. That's about as clueless and ridiculous as it gets.

This wins on so many levels.

Rewind to Dooley's hiring, people said year 3 is when this team should reach that level of competing in the SEC.

Rewind to Dooley's last two recruiting classes, people said it was great, he's bringing in talent and raw athletes that once matured will help us win games.

Rewind to this past summer, people said this was a 6-6 team and this team is completely capable of getting there.

Seriously people, it's football. You win and you lose, but either way you get to see that T and we should be proud of that. We're so quick to realize our long term potential but too stubborn to recognize the struggles in getting there. Dooley will get us there, just let the man work and cheer your damn hearts out.

I was mocking the previous guy for saying PSU is average when they consistently have stout Defenses, but thanks for chiming in

They consistently have stout defenses because they play in a pathetic offensive league. Alabama crammed it down their throat the entire game. They're good because all the offenses in that league suck. Period. Thus, the guy you are "mocking" makes a hell of a lot better point than you're attempting and failing to make. Also, it appears you're getting annihilated in your little debate with tvols. I'd consider throwing in the towel.

The big10 has 2 teams ranked in the top 25 offenses SEC has 1 Arkansas. Really what point did he make? that OSU has more experience than UT oh wait I disproved that

Wisconsin which I'm conviced has one of if not the best tailback in the country! and Northwestern with Dan Persa who is not too shabby of a QB. SEC has Arkansas

For one thing you can play hard. IT's not as much about the scoreboard as how the vols played. If adams makes one guy miss and blows by them, fine. 7 missed tackles!? Where they had their hands on them? Come on. And it just got to the point where everyone didn't seem to care. You wouldn't have any idea Tennessee was an sec team, except for the logo, watching that game. Arkansas played SEC football. We didn't. And the Original poster is right. Even in petrino's first season at Arkansas, they upset LSU in the last game of the year. They won 5 games. And they were playing Texas(who was top 5) Florida, Bama. exc. They won 8 games in year two. This isn't the first season for our coach. Who do you think looks better? Do you think this team could upset LSU?
