Go Ahead and Wind the Heupel Doomsday Clock

It’s about at 8 o’clock, but it’s officially ticking now.

All things considered, his worst performance as a coach since he’s been in Knoxville.

 

This year is probably still a throw away year but I can’t help feeling like I’m out on Heupel after this.

 

At the very least he needs a new defensive coordinator.

 

Didn’t feel great about this game. Sold my pair of tix for $500 this morning. Helluva decision in crunch time.

 

No greater endorsement of Heupel than this.

 

Clutch game management under time pressure.

 

He's got decisions to make that will determine if he's here 15 years or here 7.

 

I wouldn't mind seeing both Coordinators canned.

 

If he doesn't make any staff changes I'm done with him. He doesn't understand how to win. Brian Kelly and Franklin got fired for less.

 

He definitely needs to encourage both coordinators to find HC jobs somewhere.

 

At the very least you have to fire Banks or the fans will check out. Oklahoma is bad on offense and they put 36 on us. Something they haven't done all year.

 

I don’t think the OC really matters

 

33 - but 7 of that was on the offense.

 

The Oklahoma offense really only scored 17

 

Yeah, this status quo bullshit gotta go

 

The thing is, the defense should’ve had about a 24-3 halftime lead.

 

I said early in the year that Aguilar was good enough to give us a chance to beat anyone in the country, but he’d also cost us a game that we should have won easily. This was that game. Two absolutely terrible interceptions that was the difference in the game.

 

Banks was not the problem in the first half but was a pretty big problem in the second half. This is a young team and makes young team mistakes, but we're going to try to run it back next year with a freshman QB. . . I can squint and see the potential for an upward trajectory, but the schedule is only getting tougher, and if we can't upgrade our staff to match, it's hard to see us coming out on top of a league with five top ten teams in any given year.

 

Yeah, as much as I want Banks gone, this game doesn’t make the list for why he needs to be shown the door.

 

True but they would have scored if the D didn't. We only forced 3 punts.
