The UGA game? You mean the one where we had six points through 55 minutes? That game was over even before Bray got hurt.

Being creative. I'm not expecting greatness. But you don't think USClite gave us some opportunities we should have capitalized on? How about the fact we start a freshman in his first game and call zero rollouts to help him shorten the field? How about we still have zero run game with five returning starters on the offensive line? How about the fact in three straight games we have had a 4th and 1 and get a false start? How about the fact that everyone in the freakin stadium knew Shaw was running a QB draw, and yet there wasn't anybody within three yards on him and zero QB spy?

That's the stuff I'm talking about.

SCjr gave us plenty of opportunities. I agree with you, I thought we could have given him some better looks, however I'd remind you that South Carolina had the #1 pass defense in the nation going into this game. No freshman outside the second coming of Peyton would have success. Worley had some flashes, but he, like nearly all other QB's, needs a couple years of practice before he's ready to start SEC games.

As for the run game, I don't know what you expected. We couldn't run the ball against air last season (even Vandy was punking us on the run), I don't know why you'd expect anything different the second time around. The pass blocking is improved, but the only factor in run blocking is raw physical ability. It was never there.

Also agreed on the false starts. Though I would need to hear more about what efforts have been made in practices to improve snap counts.

And for Shaw, I saw what we all saw the last four games: Our LB's suck and everybody is taking advantage of it. When we have the first teamers all in there, we do a fine job of getting pressure, but the second we have to start subbing in LB's, opposing offenses know they can just move the pocket and any QB with at least some mobility will be able to get positive yardage. That's a depth issue.

The bottom line is that the vast, vast majority of this team's issues comes down to the fact that we have a really bad roster. There's really nothing more to it than that.

We all want to win now, but wins come from winning the battle on the O and D line. The D did a pretty good job of keeping us in the game and keeping it close. But, until we win the battle on the O line and open up the lanes, the running game and protections are going to suffer. Yes, USCjr lost lattimore, but not the other experienced 10 guys on the field...ok, 9, Shaw wasn't that great either!

I agree with the first paragraph. I felt the staff didn't do a great job of putting Worley in a position to succeed. No rollouts, only a screen or two, etc.

Yeah, we sucked running the ball last year. I was hoping it would be better since everyone on the O-Line came back...and it hasn't. That's discouraging.

Still inexcusable. Third week in a row it's cost us another conversion. That should be fixed by now.

Agree the LB's are bad. Still no excuse for the QB draw. Everyone knew it was coming.

I agree the main problem is lack of depth/experience. But there have been issues with the coaching staff that aren't related to that.

I'd bet you a lot of money that many of these perceived coaching issues will miraculously go away when we're bringing in more talent and fielding an offense that's better than Sun Belt caliber.

I'm over these posts. Everybody needs to look beyond wins and losses for just one minute. We have increased our academic rating by 10%, we have had no off the field issues in over a year, our coach is very entertaining in press conferences and he's a nice guy. Enough is enough.

Does anyone here seriously think Dooley will make it? Ok lets give him the standard 3 years and can his ass after he eeeks out 7 wins next year.i seriously doubt although i could be wrong that Bray and Hunter will both be hurt next year,then what is the excuse going to be? We have actually regressed from last year instead of improving and i dont see these players being coached up very well.I think Dooley is lost as well,stupid calls,calling players out,making excuses right and left.The best this clown is ever gonna do is 7 wins and we Volnation demand and deserve better.More than a few said it on here and its true Dooley is turning us into the La.Tech of the Sec we are a joke an afterthought its embarassing.Im only 32 maybe im a spoiled fan ive never seen this rough a stretch with tennessee football before.I fondly remember the glory days of the 90s. I wonder if we will ever get back to that point again anytime soon im just pretty sure Dooley aint going to be the guy to get us their.

Play calling :rtfm:
Players game speed :disappointed:
Crowd :snoring:
Dooley doesnt need my support, he has overwhelming support from the entire football community. Everyone says "Oh, if anyone can do it , he can"....."I sure like this guy"...."I think yall have the right guy"
We are foster kittens from animal control that are too ****ing ugly to give away ,but the head man in charge didnt have the heart to put down,so this crazy old lady who so sweet took us in for awhile.....but turns out she is a horder and now we are starving,sleeping in **** piles just dreaming of the day when that box fan in the corner catches fire and burns this motha down so we can all just be put down ! :hi:

Let's start hiring a coach and give him a one year contract and if he does good extend it instead of getting behind our coach and showing him we have faith he can turn things around

I look at Paul Johnson and that beautiful option offense that is destroying Clemson right now and think to myself......Why can't we get that lucky and hire someone like that?

And I look at that beautiful option offense that that is destroying Clemson right now and think to myself "Why is it that so many high schools run it; not so many colleges; and no NFL teams?"

And then I realize it's because a defense with speed and discipline will kill the option, every time.

It's a good offense, no doubt. But it's heyday has passed, and a team like LSU or Bama would literally eat it up.

It is what it is.

Go Vols.

the first UT coach to ever lose twice in a row to South Carolina, and that team that beat us last night was awful...another new low for this football program and it looks like it won't be ending with Dooley at the helm.

Would this post have not worked in one of the other 20 or so "Bash Dooley" threads?

Or did you just simply have to make sure that your opinion had its' own venue?

Good grief.

Pretty sure that team is currently 7-1, won the East last year, and controls their destiny to win it again. Not sure though. Could you check on that and get back to me?
