Travis Williams isn't the wunderkind we thought he was

Tennessee’s offense is arse. They have struggled in 5 consecutive games now, and have scored 7 total (!) first half points in their last 4 games.

We gave up 32 (not counting the pick 6) against an OSU team that won’t make a bowl.

UAB put 27 on us, and they might be the worst team in FBS this year.

Nearly 100 combined against LSU and Ole Miss, both of which were at home.

We gave up 25 and looked terrible against Mississippi State, who’s also one of the worst teams in the country this year. Not to mention they may have left 4 TD’s on the field with their sloppy play on the goal line and the red zone.

I like T-Will, but perhaps he wasn’t the defensive mastermind we thought he was after the Tennessee game.

Most of us knew that already. Not ready to toss his arse, but he got exposed today.

Outside of today, his defense has done enough so the offense can win the game, which is all that is really asked of a defense in today's game. Easier said then done with the tempo used today.

Saban will be the last HC to win with a defense first mindset for a very long time.

I would like to clarify that I don't dislike TWill. I think he is about as good as we can hope for and the players seem to love him. He's young and still learning. I have zero desire to see him leave. I'm a little drunk and don't want to come across as a malcontent. Except for fatboy. frick that guy and his Walmarks bullshite.

I don't really keep up with Gus or UCF, but that program has really fallen of since Williams departure.

Our depth has been exposed more than his coaching

Aren't coaches responsible for depth?

Scheme hasn’t been great the last few weeks but our offense couldn’t stay on the field against OM, that kills a defense.

And our offense gives up free TD’s to the other team almost every game.

It is an average defense with average talent.

In two years that will be a valid argument. Right now depth isn't all on him. The portal can help but still a year or two away from quality depth.

Unfortunately quality depth leaves for a starting position nowadays. Our secondary has been much improved this year until injuries caught up with them, and losing Jackson at rb lately has hurt. Seems we can’t catch a break from the injury bug.

We are just one of many, many teams who can’t just plug in the next guy without missing a beat. Fire all the coaches and that should correct it.
