    No...but all of us have seen plenty of football as to what happens when the coach stubbornly doesn't reflect about their own performance. What worked in what place....may not work in another. My guess...everything stays the same for next season...if similar product is produced...well the noise in the system will surely get louder. I mean who knows...folks around here are hanging onto hope he is the second coming of Saban. UTk coach turned Tenn around in Year 2. Brian Kelley taking LSU to the mountain in Year 1 ..same for Riley at USC...we are told to wait for Year 3! He cashed in a lot chips with the troubling performance at Vandy...time will tell.

    He was asked that. He gave a response that none was happy about. Basically says he’s been doing what has worked for them with Couch as coordinator and the on-field assistants taking different areas. He did excuse Marshall as we had X and Ricky hurt. Would’ve like to see him directly answer and assure us that they will address it.

    If you consider the nutrition coach a coach then we do have a ST coach. Don't let facts get in your way though.

    Fire them both, although we can keep the equipment coach since that coach has miraculously found a way to (mostly) cover big Dez.

    When we had one of the best spacial teams unit in the country, Urban Meyer was directly involved and coaching them up. We need a coach to take charge, not by committee, but by individual control at the highest levels of our coaching staff..

    Yah it’s become clear we didn’t hire an SEC level staff outside of a couple of guys. And I don't think Billy will make many of any changes in the off-season, but maybe he proves me wrong.
