More change needed

He hasn’t had real talent to work with that I’ve seen until Ty.

Its year 5 bro

My God man you can’t just fire position coaches if they have a bad season.

I'm thinking Heupel is a dead man walking
after next season. If we go 6-6 next year, Danny will to have to make some tough choices.

The best recruiter is $$$. It's a different game now. I would rather have position coaches that can coach. We need to recruit half as much and dive harder into the portal.

Remember what Saban said as he was going out. The first words out of a recruit’s mouth now is “How much am I getting paid?”

I was glad to see Heupel act decisively to upgrade the defensive coordinator as soon as the season ended but its not enough.

Chop and Inge have not worked out. Martinez is a great recruiter and has identified some good talent in the portal, but it is not clear at all that he is an effective position coach.

The special teams took an unambiguous step back since losing Ekeler to Nebraska. Inconsistent kicking likely cost us 2-3 losses, and other than the touchdown return in the bowl game, the return game was a liability for most of the season.

The defensive line was the worst I’ve seen in years at Tennessee. If that unit does not improve drastically next year, Garner and Tennessee should part ways. Garner may be the best d line coach in history, bet prior results do not guarantee future returns.

Strength and conditioning and nutrition are my biggest concerns with the program right now. Young players are not getting bigger or stronger. We are undersized across numerous position groups. Gmac who is going to be competing for a starting job next year has yet to gain any weight since arriving on campus 1 year ago.

If Heupel makes more changes this offseason I think it could by him more leeway next year if things get off to a rocky start but if we continue with the same problem coaches year after year I don’t think this fanbase will extend as much grace.

Lol Martinez has coached 10 guys that were NFL draft picks in his two stints here. About to have possibly 2 first round picks this year. Corners aren't the issue, it's the safeties, which he does not coach. That was all Banks

So Martinez finally has a good year and he should stay?

He's coached 10 NFL draft picks in his two stints here. About to have 2 first rounders. Sit down.

The team needs TALENT! Make all the coaching changes you wish, but without Jimmy and Joe's with talent - it's going to be a long year.

There are teams out there doing much more with much less. Our average class has been 12-14 since heups start here. While top 5 is of course better, at some point you win with what you got or you don’t. We are in the “don’t” portion of the equation.

Lol you mean the 2 guys who were already good transfers from day 1? Why has his secondary been poor pretty much every year?

I would think that anyone that’s interviewing for a position would ask what their salary would be.
