Max Gilbert

[NeylandX5]

He’s bad. I don’t care if you hit kicks when we are up 30. You got to hit them when it matters

Amen. He's gotta go. Tennessee special teams are supposed to be a deciding factor. According to the General's maxims.

 

[AllThingsTN]

I hate it for him. But you can see in his body language that he has no confidence in himself. I think it’s pretty clear that it’s time to move on.

 

[AthensVol2007]

It’s not cool singling out a player like this.
The whole defensive unit played like a bunch of kittens and the Oline was mediocre as well

He’s missed every meaningful kick in his career; his callout is 100% warranted.

 

[Savannahbayvol]

One of the 10 richest Athletic Depts in the country and cant find a FG kicker.

I know kicking isn't easy but damn. He is the opposite of clutch and it wouldn't bother me at all if we have a new kicker next season.

I’ve held my tongue on Max this year. He’s had a couple of rough stretches in his career and after the miss earlier this year I thought he’d settle back in, but that miss tonight was the worst. Plant foot position was terrible and it was missed as soon as he hit it. I am thankful for his effort, but he has regressed this year and it’s time to move on.

That should have been done many games ago. We don't have a Spurrier or a Saban. They wouldn't have put up with him.

Agreed

True

 

[JacketVol]

Can’t boot it so boot him

 

[JCVOL]

Get a new kicker. YESTERDAY!!!!!!!!

I'm a joker, I'm a smoker, I'm a field goal choker! That boy ain't been the same, since he got his foot stepped on in the UAB game. He scared. You can see it in his eyes. Hate it , he gotta go. Along with Admiral Halszle. Heup's eye in the sky suxxx. It could be the downfall of Heup if he keeps relying on input from that rookie, learning on the job..

 

[lukeneyland]

We need a new kicker no more of this crap

 

[utvols74]

I remember the look on Spurrier's face when his FG kicker missed the fairly easy kick in 1998 giving UT the victory. His eyes said it all. They had fire in them.

Hype better get some fire in his eyes for on-field failures. His kicker missed 2 INCREDIBLY important kicks this year - UGA and tonight. You simply can't do that and win consistently.

He missed a critical kick in the OU game as well. He can’t be trusted in big moments

 

[Good Ol' Charlie Brown]

Well somehow he's on paper really good

But stats be damned no reason not to hit that kick against GA. Or Oklahoma. Or Illinois. (This is getting ridiculous.)

Yep...they are professionals now and should be treated as such. The NFL would have cut him several games ago.

If you ever happen to soil yourself at work, I hope someone takes a picture and posts it on social media

 

[Carl Pickens]

So we're not blaming Gilbert?

I think there’s plenty of blame to go around

 

[sonofUT62]

Should have thrown money at Ekler to stick around.

For several reasons. He at least gave us the impression of being tough.

 

[Seattle Hillbilly]

I hope the Cookie Co FIRES him, TOO!

You have ONE JOB Son..and YOU SUCK AT IT!

If he was your son would you feel the same?

He's actually not. His make percentage this year is 109th in CFB after tonight.

Like the lack of fundamentals such as blocking and tackling?

 

[AthensVol2007]

1) Knowing the crew I work with, I’d fully expect that.

2) that has nothing to do with my job so that’s a pretty terrible analogy. If I consistently effed up the biggest opportunities I was given at my job and cost my employer profit, I would be fired.

It’s a great place to start

Ok, so when you F up at work, I hope your employer puts it on blast, tells everyone, says you had one job, insults you and puts it all over social media…. Then fires you. How’s that?
