What changes?

[buckaroo]

Does Heupel do in the offseason? I sure hope he gets an offensive coordinator

 

[cbhunter]

And WR coach

 

[Gravey]

Is it the coaches or having the wrong jimmy's and Joe's on the field? Maybe both but whatever it is I hope they get it figured out and keep moving forward.

Bama guy wants less trolling and more community. As Bama guys continue to troll. Lol

Everybody wants to know why 23 and 24 offense didnt look like 22 offense. Yet nobody wants to recognize the fact that 22 offense had a first round draft pick on the oline, 2 NFL WRs, one of them being the Bilitnikof winner, and a very good senior QB who was also drafted.

Recievers have been subpar since, oline hasnt been great since. Qb hasnt been great since. Yet we have still won 9 and 10 games and went to the playoff.

Im not saying that we dont need some changes because we do but the sky isnt falling.

I am afraid he is too stubborn to do anything. I think there will be an offseason of working hard on the "little things" that are bogging them down. Meanwhile, most of the world can call out the play they are running as soon as they get to the line.

I've lived through long periods of poor rosters and inept coaching (including many years of Majors) so I am pretty content with where Heupel has taken my Vols. He seems to recruit a pretty good class of kids that represent the university very well. I will never again take a ten win season for granted.

But, I also don't expect to see another NC in my lifetime.

One thing I think was lacking was the use of tight ends being used as receivers.

While I agree, he needed them in pass blocking

You said a mouthful there. I REALLY like the guy and am thankful of who he is as a person as well as coach. He represents UT very well and with much class. But he is loyal to a fault. He likes sticking with his "family" of coaches and I don't expect him to fire/replace anyone. All we can do is wait for the undesirables to leave on their own I'm afraid

Get back to playing with more tempo on offense. Apparently "gimmicky" worked.

 

[buckaroo]

We need a very good oline, we have a 5 star and looks like 2 more big guys coming in portal

In all honesty Heupel does a decent job recruiting some top talent. What he does NOT do is develop that talent and he does NOT develop debth in back up roles.

Example ? When Dylan Sampson when out 3 min in the 1st quarter against OSU the vols had no answer to fill his role. No REAL answer . Did that lead to the curb stomping and smoking the vols received? I doubt it. OSU seemed to know everything the vols were doing from the get go and were on fire.

Until the vols can start recruiting 4 and 5 years of top 5 recruiting classes like ALABAMA, Georgia, OSU , and some other Elite schools it's gonna remain the same. Rinse and repeat. vols can bang on their chest all they want about back doorimg their way into the playoffs this year but it took 5 teams loosing for them to get there and it took a 12 team format for them to get there. No great accomplishment and clearly they were not ready for the big league and not prepared or ready for it.

I don't think his very young offensive coordinator can process and call things quickly enough for them to play with that type of tempo. And, unfortunately, I don't see that improving.

Sampson had a hamstring injury. 2 carries.
Lewis avg 7.7 yards per carry for 77 yard against probably the best defense in the country.

On tempo, yes I think Golesh was better than Halzle as OC but people are severely sleeping on Hendon Hookers role in said tempo we ran that year

Maybe Vandy can give yall losers some recruiting advise for next year. Just a thought. If they don't surely you have someone at Oklahoma that obviously knows a thing or 3.
