re: Either Grubb goes or DeBoer will ultimately go (in-depth)

We got owned on TOP yesterday. Goes both ways, but you can't let a team run off 10 min in one drive.

---

Bishop was falling forward 3 yards after contact because our defense was weak as pond water (gassed)

4th and 1, stacked box, plows through for five yards.

That’s just players getting manhandled, not getting out schemed.

Say what you want about CKW, but allowing 20ppg (19.1 since 2024) and just like this year, tops in the nation in forcing turnovers.

---

Allow 20 ppg but allow the opposing team to hold the ball the entire game because you can’t get a stop is not good.

SI story looking back at Grubb’s tenure in Seattle and his firing.

---

Oof. I hadn't seen this but my lord is it concerning.

DeBoer better be ready to let him walk after this season or Grubb will be walking with him in the next.

quote:

---

Macdonald said he sat down FACE TO FACE on THREE occasions to the point of giving Grubb an ultimatum to run their elite RB 25 times a game and he said that Grubb never changed even slightly, and after their 2nd meeting he made up his mind he was firing him the day after the season ended.

---

The difference?

Macdonald and Grubb didn't have a prior relationship. DeBoer and Grubb are buddies.

I’ll put it this way:
Name ONE game in the SEC that the defense was responsible for losing after he changed to a 3-4 Under week 5 of 2024 after the Vandy loss?


Side Note:
And that’s with having a COMPLETELY inept/abomination of an offense than cannot sustain drives and take ANY time of the clock and constantly put them in terrible field position.

---

If not for the defense in the first half we would have lost by 4 or 5 TDs. The 2nd half they were the only group playing as the offense could not stay on the field.

quote:

---

Grubb is gone at the end of the year, he's already checked out.

Does DeBoer have anymore fishing buddies he wants to make millionaires?

You get 1 downvote for being logical.

I get 27 downvotes, but they still cannot answer the question:

What SEC game has the defense been at fault for losing after Wommack switched to a 3-4 Under and ditched the 4-2-5 after the Vandy loss in year 1 and they went on to finish 9th in the country in Scoring defense.

Since then, they are either 1st or 2nd in the SEC in Total D, Scoring D, and forcing turnovers since 2024


ANYONE in this thread, can you PLEASE just name ONE SEC game that the defense was the reason they lost?

They haven’t allowed 30 points even once in the past 21 SEC games.

And yet the heads will talk us up in game broadcasts.

I am not blaming one side or the other bc it all works together . You can say well we held them to X amount of points but if you are giving up long drives ( even if they end in FGs) it limits the number of possessions the offense has and we are very young on offense . Going into this season, if you asked me or pretty much anyone, what the strength of our team was going to be , most would say defense and more particularly , the secondary . It just hasn’t seemed like that is the case . Giving a young QB in his 2nd start big cushions /easy throws and then failure to take proper angles and poor tackling I think is what bothers most people . Saw a stat that we had 35 missed tackles in the UT game. That is unacceptable at Bama , especially with 3 players (Hubbard, Brown and Lee) who most thought would garner All conference /AA honors . O’Neal and Lee had some piss poor efforts on a couple of plays that was just embarrassing . Thompkins was just jogging behind one play yesterday and if I am not mistaken , it was the 1st qtr . Stats can be very misleading . We have given up 200 yds rushing I think twice and allowed Bishop 159yds yesterday . The eyes will tell you we are not playing nearly as well as we should be. Not starting an argument but I think most people just expected a better product on that side of the ball this year than we have produced so far
