Gerry, I share your appreciation for Freeman, but could you expand your reasoning for picking Drinkwitz slightly above Kiffin? Maybe it's our current offensive problems, but I'm extremely envious of what Kiffin is doing with his offense.

Good read echeese.

Gerry I’m not saying we don’t have talent in most places. There’s talent everywhere on the team though OL has its talent deficiencies this year. Clearly not every great coach hits on every recruit. It’s the job of the staff to realize that on the offensive line we have done a great job developing an underrecruited LT, have a young talented RT who needs reps, have a senior RG who should be dependable, but have concerns at LG where out biggest recruit has not panned out and we are relying on either a project with good strength but bad feet or a freshman who has only played tackle…. And a center that is completely new to the position that has been okay at guard only before. At RB we have 2 out of our top 3 guys coming back from major injuries and the third guy not an every down back. I’m not one to call for coaching changes at all as a knee jerk. i just think the staff played down possible problems that could have been addressed prior to this year. I hope they will address this better in what should be a wild portal year

Ugly and disappointing win, however we are still in the race to get into CFP. Sark took a huge GAMBLE by going with young OL. He is betting on their quick development. The scheme is totally off to the current offense maturity. If his gamble fails we will be out of the CFP. Good Luck

Always enjoy the cheap seats from Cheese Honestly if Arch just makes 3 or 4 easy throws to crossing receivers, we would have had 100 more yards of offense and likely another 10 points. Arch is not the only problem, but he is the biggest problem.

Not sure his current demeanor would translate at that level. I’m sure he knows that though.

The smoke is real. I don't know if Vitello will end up in SFG or not. His run at Tennessee has been spectacular, but many college coaches are starting to feel like they are coaching pro teams. Might as well go coach a pro team.

After much thought I am removing my name from the University of Florida head coaching search. My focus will remain on family and current commitments. Best of luck to the program.

Or it may be something else. A few different paths to go down IMO.

There may be a lack of talent in certain areas, but that’s a direct result of staff decisions. When you’ve signed four straight top 5 classes and had full access to the transfer portal, any roster holes reflect evaluation and development issues, not roster limitations.

There was a fun discussion on MLB yesterday about this possibility. Turns out that Alex Avila played at Tenn......not this coach...... The issue, of course, is will MLB players listen to a college guy. There have been college guys that make the move. I tend to think that at the professional level, the boss makes suggestions....not demands. We will see. Then Again: Will Devers listen to anyone? we all no the answer......

We differ. Texas doesn't have clear lack of talent. Texas has signed four straight top 5 classes of nationally recruited players.

First, I am not picking on you personally. This ultra-orange family feels your frustration. Nor, am I giving the coaches a free ride. Our problem is not play selection. NONE of them work......that's the issue. It seems that everyone thinks it is play selection or effort. It is not. It is play execution. The basis of our problem is "paralysis through analysis". Our linemen are thinking after the snap. They should be doing the thinking before the snap. By the time they figure it out, the play is blown up. Then panic sets in! Receivers curl into the linebacker instead of away. Receivers cut their routes quicker trying to "help" the QB. Of course, that help ends up leaving the ball behind the receiver not instead of ahead. Backs have given up on "picking holes". They just run straight and hope for something. If I have one issue with the coaches, the issue is that they have yet to have the linemen "just hit the closest guy". If no one is there, go find someone to hit. Offensive linemen are not Mensa. They are gorillas. Treat them as such. Of note, the one positive big play for the night occurred (in 4th qtr) when Weisner stepped up and blocked the doggin middle linebacker. .......... the only time any back blocked any inside threat all night. Thank the Lord for small favors. One last thought: 1 ugly win = ? pretty losses

Another bad idea of yours!

Arch is lucky this wasn't picked. Shouldve thrown it into the 3rd row

Truly a disaster class in play calling

Absolutely stupid play call

The LSU dealer trying to pawn off Kelly to PSU and the Pimp Signal at the end…..solid.

Frankly I don’t care which person ends up at which school. I care about who’s in the portal as a result, if our coaches can rectify the lack of clear talent / experience / depth on offense that should have been addressed last year, and if we can outgun the ones now willing to spend like crazy to get those guys.

Needs more pimp...

Mentioned with Arkansas ... but he shot it down quickly.

Sark wanted 2 plays to get 8 yards. Thought he could catch 4-5 here. Kentucky brings pressure. C gets blown up. RT loses inside. TE gets lost in the traffic. Just a total mess.

Good question You are correct, I did flip those. Good catch Also left out they recorded 26 1st downs to our 8. Which makes the final score even more impressive for our D. Thanks all.

Agreed Jeff. Bare minimum and at least 15 - 20 first downs:) I have to wonder how much sitting for most of 2 years effects a QB, especially one with the expectations Arch had on him.
