Ken Wisenhunt = Butch Jones

Nobody sits on a lead, scared as hell, and goes into the (coaching) fetal position, like these 2 coaches. If anyone has followed UT football this year, you'd notice that we had the talent to be 6-0 right now, but Butch coaches scared, just like Wisenhunt, and that cost the Vols 3 games they absolutely should have won.

Wisenhunt blew leads last year being so ultra-conservative....I can remember the Cleveland game...blowing a massive lead...and we had the Redskins on the rope, and he got conservative again.
Just like the Vols, the Titan's won't be a winning team until their head coach grows a pair. Just that simple.

I'm not advocating that Wiz coach reckless, but when you are playing a defense like Buffalo's, you HAVE to go for 7 when you are a less than a yard away from the 1st down marker, inside their 3 yard line. That might be the only chance you get to reach the end zone. Same thing when we are on the Buffalo 36, with a 4th and 2. WE PUNT!!! WTH?!!! We netted about 15yds. That is scared arse coaching, right there. If you don't get the 1st down and sustain the drive....so what? They get the ball on the 35yd line? Big freakin deal.

We had another drive stall at about the Buffalo 38, and we punt, again! How are you going to establish an identity as a hard-nosed football team when your Head Coach is soft as Charmin? I don't want us to have to go through another coaching change, but Wisenhunt will have to change his stripes before we'll ever win.

One last note....what the hell are we doing running DMC at all....much less between the tackles, while keeping our best RB, Terrance West, inactive? That's a stupid personnel call, right there. DMC weighs about as much as a sack of taters, and is about as tall as one, too....yet we utilize him in the running game way too much.

 

With Cobb on IR for the 1st half of the season, West IS the best RB we have. I've even watched a crew on NFL.com say as much, when he played that one game. He's the only one with the size and speed combination you need in a feature back. Right now, Wisenhunt is playing a scrawny scatback (DMC) as our featureback....no wonder we have an average run game.

I didn't see West giving up the ball a whole lot. Just one play, and when you consider that Sankey muffed the kickoff twice on Sunday, he should be on the practice squad by now, according to some folks logic, here.

 

We do, but he won't play him (West). When Cobb comes back from IR, he and West could make a good tandem, but right now....you're right. Between Sankey and DMC....we are too damn small at RB to be trying to force our running game down anyone's throats.

The other thing that bothers me to no end, is we have two HUGE WR's, with 4.4/40 speed....and we won't use them, much. Hunter should be the starting X receiver, and we should try to feed him the ball deep a handful of times each game. Anytime we get 5+yds on 1st down, I'd play action pass deep to Hunter or DGB. Teams need to fear those two so much that their safeties stay deep where they cannot support the run.

 

Guess that means Sankey should be sitting on the bench or inactive, cause he fumbled the ball twice on kickoff's yesterday. The first one would have been disastrous, had it not been for a penalty on the Bills during the play.
