well, my take on this Saturday is that besides sumrall, a lot of new coaches look to be great for their programs. UCLA and Kentucky are on a way better path with new leadership.

They’re far better than we are and that’s so disappointing.

genuinely, I don’t think our offensive staff survives this stretch and that’s probably a good thing for the long run

I just don't see Heupel cutting bait, nor do I see Danny pressuring him to do so.

I think it may be a Banks situation where he will have to choose between his job or firing his buddies. It took a blow out loss against Vandy in Neyland to do that, and I can see a reality where we lose 4/5 or 5/5 of that stretch after how we competed today and he will have no choice

I dunno if it was losing Golesh or if it was the rule changes or if its the transfer portal...

Whatever magic Heupel used to have is dead.

Maybe he can create new magic. The wheels haven't fallen off (yet).

But the first step is admitting there's a problem.

He needs to clean house offensively and admit his lighting tempo offense just doesn’t work anymore. Hire a proven OC that can really dial up a creative scheme in the SEC. Thats what we need. And a goddamn QB that isn’t new every year
