THIS LOSS IS ON HEAD COACH

#78

Umpire: If you can't see it, just roll with it so the game will end sooner and we can all get out of here and go home earlier unless you just haven't had your fill of the "Sandstorm" song blaring quite yet. If Tennessee cared or realized it was happening, they would have done something about it long before now.

Field Judge: You got that right, brother. If worse comes to worse, you can always just say we already blew the play dead. Polish any old turd of a call, trot it out shiny enough, then tell them it's the next best thing and we know those Vols will eat it up like a fresh piece of cornbread.

Line Judge: You guys are something else, but do you know how a referee who misses a call spells job security?

Back Judge: I don't know about you, but tonight I spelled it V-O-L-S.

Side Judge: "Orange" you glad it was just Tennessee tonight?

Referee: It's not like the SEC headquarters is in Knoxville.

All: Ha ha ha ha.

Look at one stat: SC had 8 third downs. The entire game they only had 8 third downs. We couldn’t stop the 82nd ranked rushing team from running the ball down our throats. That was a painful thing to watch.

That was exactly right. They ran all over us. This has to stop.

I knew the game was over when we went for it on 4th down and didn’t make it. It gave SC a relatively short field, which they took advantage of to quickly get the field goal. I’d rather take my chances of punting and pinning them deep.

That was a bad decision. Should have punted the ball there. Too early in the game to take that risk. Ended up hurting us.

The loss is always on the HC. He’s the head of the team. If your team fails to execute, then it’s a reflection on the person who prepared them and put the product on the field.

Calls were questionable. I’m still scratching my head at the call before halftime.

Deep ball. Be like a punt if intercepted. Chance of a PI or reception. JG needs to let it rip and stop holding it for to long

So give up an int, on 3rd down is acceptable??? Did you not see the officiating last night we were not going to get a PI! A lot of times you have to take what the defense gives you and they will be covering the deep routes so what is left it the underneath throw, maybe the receiver can make a guy miss and get the 1st down!!

No it wasn't, I'm sure you could've done so much better right? How exactly was it his fault? Did he miss tackles? Did he miss assignments? Did he hold the ball too long or get unsportsmanlike penalties? No I didn't think so but it's his fault right? Obviously you don't know what your talking about but think you do so congratulations!

In your mind what does a coach get the blame for? You realize no coach of any team ever actually goes out on the field and plays right? Yet some coaches are great... how come? I mean they didn’t go out there and win the game? I’m not saying anything one way or another about Pruitt but this tired rhetoric that some use is getting old.... oh and also I know you think it makes you sound wise..... it doesn’t.

His 2nd half defense was the problem and not trying to get a FG before half. Him letting time bled on that final drive is fine, he wanted to get things right because he knew his D couldnt stop them to get the ball back anyway. I dont think he needs to wait until next season to replace some of these guys. Sit em for their stupid penalties on O and lack of effort on D. Far from doing things "the right way".

Coaches are only as good as the players they have and right now we're lacking. So don't come at me like your something because your nothing more than a sportscenter watching repeat what everyone else says no it all. Watch some football and learn the game before spewing crap out of your mouth and actually come up with your own opinion instead of being a follower

After a long disclaimer about how he is a glass half full fan, Doug Matthews said it was a mistake not to throw 50/50 balls to JJ.

JP looked and coached like he was in a fog tonight. This loss falls squarely on the shoulders of the head coach. Complete lack of discipline. Going for it on 4th and 7 and failing to give our kids an opportunity. We were way outcoached tonight. This was as bad as it can get for JP tonight. On the other side ofthe coin KUDOS to Helton. What play calling!!!. It was brilliant. He has came a LONG way.

2 evenly matched teams and a road game. Came down to the last drive. This is not the 90's and 2000's when we were light years ahead of USC jr. Simply road game and we came up short.

We made stupid penalties, Jennings and Callaway have to play smarter than that. We kept them in the game, we have to be smarter than that. Also we had a ton of false starts, the refs were horrible but we can't make unsportmanlike penalties like that. We should know by now we don't get them kind of bama breaks, people can say the Callaway penalty was picky but he should have never walked over almost 10 yards to shove a guy. We gave them this game with stupidity. Play football guys and quit the ignorant crap. GBO!!!!

Refs cost us in key situation. Not sure what they saw or heard on 1st drive 2nd half when they give MQ a 15 yd penalty and we are driving inside 20. Settled for a FG which gets us to 28 where they never were.
That was a fumble at the goal line after there 70+ yd pass play. Rear camera view showed it come out in the pile. Side view showed not secure going into the pile.

Evenly matched teams, the winner that gets the breaks will win.

MAXIMS

Played nickel coverage most of the night. I wonder why actually. Bentley had a clean pocket to work with most of the night. When we did blitz seemed like we tripped every time. Game almost seemed like Carolina was supposed to win. We certainly helped them all we could.

I see no reason we should not have drove down close for a FG and put this in overtime. That job is on the QB... he failed miserable there. Again. And he will again and again.

This loss was fully, 100% on our pourous, soft defense that allowed SCar to run the ball down its throat all night long and generally move the ball at will. Our offense, behind a qb that completed 70% of his passes, with 2 yds and no turnovers, scored 24 points which would’ve been more than enough had our defense come to play AT ALL. Your take about JG is ignorant, emotional, lowest common denominator stuff.
