At least 4 games in the last 2 years where the staff brought the wrong defensive scheme

Bama both years, Ole Miss last year. UT this year. I wonder how many staffers we pay to watch tape to come with opposite scheme from what we need

Idk but the halftime adjustments allowed zero points in the second half.
Dropped INT. Fumble on our 10. Dropped TD pass and the wrong call on 4th and 1. That’s why we lost the game.

In addition to getting the first half scheme 100% wrong. We start in zone last night, and the game wouldn't have been close

We also tackled like shite, gunner ran when he didn’t need to and didn’t run when he should have a few times not to mention having 2 weeks to have a scripted drive and go 3 and out right off the rip and let bama march down and score on us to start the game. Kirby being flawless and Kirby needing to be fired are the only things I don’t think should be on the table. Every conversation in between is fair game. We’re currently 4-3 in our last 7 P4 opponents and 3 of those wins were in overtime skating by on sheer talent. Not taking any O linemen in the portal while relying on guys with injury bugs is forcing us to play with true freshman, had another elite safety on campus and let him go to Ohio instead of just retaining him.

This all boils down to coaching through and through. The assistants are serviceable at absolute best and I’m hoping Kirby can get out of his own head about having to cut some ties. Monken/Stet was leagues above what were seeing

Bama is definitely in Kirby’s head as we always outthink ourselves when we play them. I really thought at home this was the year but once again we can’t get it done. What a miserable day.

I'm not as down on them as this but we have to figure out these first half coaching failures. We are still the more physical team in every game, so I have hope
