Mike Bajakian discussion (mega-merged)

[MeanOrange]

This is the worse gator team in years and we can't beat them! 9 pts at home vs 32 pts at Athens? We have made a Big East 3.2 million dollar mistake.:realmad:

 

[SGMVols]

This is the dumbest reoccurring statement I have seen on this site.

In keeping with Dave Hart tradition, he will hire Derek Mason next year after UT beats up on hapless Vanderbilt.

 

[FLVOL_79]

If we had a QB this team would be winning!!

Worley is good. The oline..5 of them..cant even block 3 dudes. Workley has ZERO time to do anything.

 

[EZE]

Maybe all of volnation should get in the box

Dude you cant make chicken salad with chicken smit without an o line that can block

I wish more people would see this. It is hard for any OC,or QB to look good with the turnstiles on the O line

 

[IPleadInsanity]

The opposing teams are simply loading the box on 1st then bringing more guys than we can block on 3rd. We go outside to counter instead of throwing over their head short. Damn, our QB is 6'4" and 220 lbs surely he can see over the rush? So predictable what can you say?

 

[m1al]

The OL hamstrings the offense. It's ridiculous to consider firing the OC until he has at the very least a serviceable OL..

 

[de1conley]

The play calling represents our inability to block anyone! Maybe the oline coach is the problem, not Bajakian...Just food for thought

if you can't block them go "HOT" 3, step drops, and max protect not damn 4 and 5 wide

 

[screenthis]

I'm sick and tired of bubble screens and trying to run out of a shotgun lone running back with no blocking.

Worley was awful today but he's the best we have. But, Bajakian is just as bad or worse.

I'm generally not a 'negavol'. But how in the world do we not score one TD against Florida at home? How does Worley go from looking like a top-notch QB to today's performance? I don't believe it's Florida's D. How many points did Kentucky score on them?

Our youth really hurt us today as well. I'm a long way from jumping of Butch's bandwagon. But today was a big and pivotal loss

For hiring, and continuing to employ, a clown whose playcalling belongs in the MAC. If you choose to hire and retain an incompetent buffoon, than you're no better than they are.

Spare us the yay rah rah moral victory/brick by brick crap and fix the problem.

I don't agree with Bajakian's playcalling much of the time, but there ain't an OC in the country that can call a winning game with an OL as bad as ours.

The other problem is not having the flexibility to adjust the playbook to accommodate a Pro Style pocket passer. The Read Zone look puts our RB in a bad position, cause defenses know the QB is NOT going to pull the ball and run.

 

[Spartacavolus]

worst playcalling I've seen in 30 years. Embarrassed

 

[thetennlegend]

Then tell us where the 6 wins come from.

Did I ever say I thought we got 6? I'm saying before the season 6 wins was pretty much the consensus for a good season. As fans we need to support these kids and all these young players who clearly have talent and are vfls. Petitions are stupid and butch will assess this staff at the end of the year. Until then all I can do is cheer the guys on and hope for wins. I do believe however that something has to change on the oline.

 

[agent|orange]

This fanbase and the UT Defense deserve better than the crapshoot that was walked out there under the guise of being an Offense.

Because the fans and D did everything within their power to secure a win. Loud, good atmosphere and the D set the Offense up with 2 turnovers just outside the RZ.

Offense is pathetic. They were unprepared and poorly called on gameday.

 

[rlntlss]

I personally didn't see anything wrong with the play calling IMO ...Although i did with execution of said plays...

 

[bignewt]

Its the complete lack of imagination in the run game that destroys me. Run that up the gut " read option" when we are driving for a field goal? Malazahan wouldn't let this guy shine his shoes.

 

[SGMVols]

dobbs is horrible just like our o-line ....we will kick utc a$$!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We will kick UTC ass.

Wow.

That's how far we've fallen. We have to actually convince ourselves of that.

I thought he had one last year?

hard to take a guy serious that is still on the lane train and doesn;t even have Ten. has one of his faviort teams.go suck an egg.

 

[johndoevol]

its very simple guys. Coach Jake is in over his head. 1st if you can't block a soul you have to run 3 step drops and everything must be hot. You have to eliminate the read option because nobody respects it whatsoever. With this style of O-Line you need zone concepts and quick runs not a bunch of counters and outside sweeps with a big power rb. I sat back with some coaches and Buck Fitzgerald and discussed these concepts and they all agreed. Hats off to the defense but the offensive scheme is not at all acceptable. I talk to Butch, Bajakian, Gillispie, Thigpen, Azzani, and a few others as I'm helping them turn the Van Jefferson recruiting and I vow to bring these types of things up and speak out as a former player and fan.

Et tu?

it's not backstabbing. He called a horrible, horrible game.

In fact, Dooley wins that game today. That's how bad it was.

I like Butch, but he needs to stfu and win some games that matter.

 

[CRAZYVOL24]

Ya'll are all correct, but one of biggest problems is Worley is scared to run the ball. By him not running but three times in 2 games makes our offense scheme weak predictable . Time for Peterman and save redshirt for dobbs.

 

[MiramarVol]

If Bajakian were seen out anywhere near the strip tonight, he might get shanked. I think if he were drowning he'd get a rock instead of a rope. He has very few friends right about now.

 

[NEO]

I know I am a broken record but if Worley is not ever going to run the ball then change the dam offense.

Give Hurd a blocker and start playing some power football.

Well said. Can I jump to? Much better ending than listening to these chubby gazers

 

[KappinSpaulding]

Peace out then. Mississippi State is looking soling solid and needs some fans. Maybe some of you are a good fit.

Let's not forget that we are playing with a roster built by a bumb and some dude riding on his daddy's name. I'm pissed right now but another coaching change isn't the answer. The offensive line sucks that's to Dooley's recruiting.
