Shoop has shown that his defense can stack up against anyone. Imagine what his defense would look like if our offense averaged 3-4 more minutes in time of possession per game.
I think if a new coach retains anyone, its definitelt Shoop and Gillespie. New coach should allow Shoop to hire his own guys.
I really think if Shoop keeps this up, he should be interim if Butch is fired mid season.
Does anyone really think SC or Bama really opened their offense up? They didn't. Their play calling was vanilla cause they knew Tennessee's offense is a mess.
The fact that you cannot grasp that field position and time of possession is effecting our defensive performance is absolutely hilarious. Shoop has had awesome defenses in his other stops.Its the offense. Its the players. Its the position coaches. Its the injuries. Not the guy making 1.2 million dollars who is in charge of every one on defense.
I'm just going to point out we had more punts than first downs. If the offense puts some yardage and time of possession on the board the defense will be much better.
