Tennessee vs Ohio State Part 2: Should JOSH HEUPEL fire TIM BANKS? + Has NICO IAMALEAVA improved?

[@rhrh2025]

I was born in Knoxville, and my parents went to UT. I'm constantly embarrassed by the mentality of Tennessee fans. Talking about flag planting and tearing down opponent's goal posts did nothing but piss off Ohio State players before the game.... and it showed. I wouldn't run my mouth quite so much next time.

Well said. Opposing fanbases are tired of hearing Vols fans spout off about everything and constantly talking trash. It was a foolish thing to do when Vols fans "poked the bear" relentlessly during the three-week lead up to the game. I am passionate as well. But if you only ever win Twitter insults and can't beat that fans' team - what was the point?

[@myopicseer]

Yes, thank you. It was really ridiculous what I (an OSU fan since '73) was reading online and seeing in video content before this game. You are spot on. I lost respect for the SEC (which honestly I had very little for before this game) and for TN. I am sure most TN fans are decent, classy people, but there's an obnoxious SEC clannishness that often reaches vomit-inducing grotesqueness with the rest of the country.

Tennessee got exposed on defense. Tim Banks got brutally out coached by chip kelly. The talent gap is also glaring. Their WR room is light years ahead of our own, Nico has some growing to do, the Oline needs a massive upgrade, the LB and safeties need an upgrade. Basically, it looked like a team with a 20 million dollar roster vs one with an 8 million. Tennessee needs to go to the portal and drop money like OSU.

Coaching was absolutely horrendous by the Tennessee staff. The most off-putting thing is the amount of time we had to prepare for this game. Total mid-majors stuff. To add, the defense had zero heart to execute. I guess I’m asking for too much since I’m a Vol during the time of Al Wilson.

If you can't win the lines of scrimmage, play calling is not going to be a decisive factor.

I’m a Buckeye fan and the coaching staff at Tennessee shouldn’t be blamed entirely. Ohio State completely went to an offensive passing attack they had not used since back in the fall including a lot of misdirection and motion. They also went to a run blocking scheme they had rarely used. No way Tennessee could have been prepared for any of it unless they tried to guess it might happen.

Josh always blames the loss partly on coaching and partly on players executing poorly. Hell, he's the coach and hopefully sees enough of his miscues to correct them or else sees the deficiency in staff and fires their butts. Maybe he has time to do this before next fall and if not he gets one more year and out. Tennessee teams apparently have never learned to HATE loosing and not aggressive enough to knock out a few teeth on the opposing team members. Football is an aggressive sport and ole Vince Lombardi had it correct when he told his team "don't come back here with no blood on your uniform". Tough matches require tough responses. Grapple the enemy across the line, throw them down or go through them anything to win should be their motto.

No firing the Vols where simply out classed. OurVols defensive second was second rate compared to the five nfl bound wr of OSU. The Vols lost of Star rb and wr was an offensive catastrophe.

I for one don't want a Richt 2.0. Both are great men but I don't think Heupel can motivate the players or have them prepared enough. 3 WEEKS TO PREPARE AND THAT IS ALL WE GET - REALLY? It was more like 3 weeks of dog crap festering in a hot car.

[@Archie-z8o]

TN first four game were played against non-conference marginal teams that TN is expected to win. Over rated and exposed mightily. I notice the Vols waste too much time changing plays when the team is on the scrimmage line. This game reminded me of the Vandy game when Vanderbilt ran up a 17-3 score in first half. When OSU scored two TD's back to back, I knew the Vols were in trouble. What happened to the up tempo game?????? Its time to dismiss some of the coaching staff. Nico doesn't call the plays, he executes them. Why continually have the RB run into a wall when there's no opening. I can see this on TV and wonder how the OC/DC sitting upstairs can't see it.

Finally someone calling Nico out for staring down receivers and being to slow to throw. He is definitely not the QB that TN needs him to be. He is another Joe Milton at this point and Heupel can't develop QB's, if anything he makes them worse.

[@Archie-z8o]

Can't compare over throw Joe with Nico. Got to remember Nico was playing high school football a year ago.

[@GrannySingaporePVP]

Should Huepel fire Tim Banks? No. Danny White should fire Josh Huepel. 4 years in and we can’t win a game on the road that matters and can’t win some that don’t. I absolutely adore coach Huepel as a man but I believe he has peaked. I know I’ll catch hell for saying it but so be it. I’m calling it like I see it.

[@progamerunknown30]

What’s the alternative butch Dooley Pruitt again ? Like he has the only two ten win seasons in decades so like he just needs more time to develop the program. He made the playoffs in year 4. We have a road problem and a big game problem, but I think having dawgs on both sides of the ball is needed

[@ethangreen8831]

You could be right

[@ddbenefield81]

As an Ohio State fan who has to listen to our fanbase cry about Ryan Day every season, please hear me when I say, stick behind your coach. Our fanbase is toxic and honestly doesn't deserve Ryan Day. Don't become like our fanbase. The Nick Saban effect makes everyone think that a winning program happens overnight. No. It takes time. You guys have a great coach who is making strides in the right direction every season. He will get you guys to the promised land. Mark my words.

[@ethangreen8831]

@@GrannySingaporePVP i hope he does but I’m starting to have my doubts because just two years ago we got embarrassed in Columbia South Carolina giving up 63 points with a very good offense this year we had a probably overrated defense we let Carson beck have the game of his life now we let will howard have the game of his life

[@billybob2837]

This thought process is astonishingly stupid. The guy is 30-9 in his last 3 seasons. You may be trolling and if you are good job, but if not, you are a complete idiot. One of the best coaches we’ve had in a long time come on bruh. Use our head.

[@BOC4ALL]

After 4 years, not even close to an SEC title game. Always second rate. Always finish 4th or 5th in the conference. Do they allow tackling on that team?

[@pw8416]

Just a very lucky schedule that made them look good. Who did they really play? Bama? Well bama wasn’t that good either. Georgia beat em, hell my hogs beat em. 3 straight games no points in the first half? Struggling heavily. It was a matter of time.

[@Archie-z8o]

Bully Bama dynasty and reign of terror on the gridiron is over.

Banks never should have been hired. High school defense

[@emenem6131]

I have no doubt Nico will be great the problem is with the o line….a couple of good offensive linemen and a few that have turned out to be not good at all. A couple of them can’t hardly walk from injury. Makes it hard for a qb if you only have a 1.5 seconds before you’re flushed or sacked. It just showed up more with States level of talent on defensive line. That being said I get tired of yelling at the tv throw it to your check down throw it dang it!!!! Second and whatever and you got a guy wide open about 7 yards down field and he sees them but doesn’t throw it. That’s my only critique of him. Tired of hearing red shirt freshman. I’ve watched 2 nd and 3rd string QBs come into games all year and move the chains all over the country. Ohio State got the same Tennessee that Arkansas got earlier this season off a bye week. If Tennessee would have played up to their potential it would have been more like 42-31. Tennessee played like poop and everybody knows it. That’s happened several times this year. Now is that coaching or just players unable to get ready I don’t know. It’s definitely a problem. But nothing against OHIO STATE I think the way the Vol team played Saturday night they would have got beat by most top 10 teams playing the way they did. Too many blown fundamental assignments. Ohio State is a decent team but they ain’t that good they got their azz handed to them by Michigan. Tennessee defense has shown up most of the year….they didn’t show up against State and the offense played about as average as they’ve played since CONFERENCE play started. Just look at the numbers in points Tennessee put up from OU on. Not good. 👍

[@trextrextrex]

Banks is a DEI hire. His contract is up in April. Find somebody

[@halomaster9640]

Thanks for nothing Volginas. You belong in the ACC...

[@futurecolemaniii5191]

Exactly or some G5 conference, minus the AAc, because many of the teams in AAC would beat the Rocky Flops..
