My Post Game Opinions

If you’re Danny White start throwing blank checks to every coordinator possible. Consistently underperforming on 3rd down. 3rd and long and we let a 40 yard scramble or junk play time after time. On the offensive side it’s run run pass punt. Unless we have our couple of miracle deep balls that happen every once in a while. This team just looks unprepared every single week. Move on from Augilar even if he gets a final year. We need to clean house and start over. Not a quality win on our schedule all year and our schedule is getting harder each year.

Danny can’t throw checks at anyone if Heupel isn’t willing to hold his staff accountable or let someone go.

No defense but Aguilar is not that bad when he has some time. Show me a QB that does well under pressure except Pavioli. Just imagine where we would be with Iamaleaving.

I think White and Heupel need to come to an understanding. Florida and LSU and Auburn are throwing out like $200m to fire and hire new coaching staffs this cycle. It should be much cheaper and financially better long term to just make Tennessee the #1 NIL spending school in 2026.

Heupel's buyout is going to be around $35m for next year. It would be a hell of a lot better spending that amount to stock the roster than to fire Heupel and pay him not to coach here.

If I’m Danny White, I’m telling Heupel, “Do what you want, but it’s you or them if the team continues to underperform.”

Agree, Aguilar isnt that bad when he has some time. I also think we need to move on.

It’s not just a talent disparity issue though. We need a deeper, older, better roster, but I’m not convinced that the coaching is at a level that such a roster would produce significantly better results.

We had a down year--happens to lots of teams. We have a young roster and a QB that got in town 90 days before fall practice. Even with that, if we win a bowl game we'll end up with a 9-4 record. Not what we want, but not the end of the world either.
