We need young guys out there. Did you see Johnson run down that play? That's better than anything Stiner had done this year.

Get Stiner, Wilson, and Burney off the field.

Put Diabate, Johnson, and Kimbrough in their places. They threw at Wilson at least 10 times on key downs, and he did not defend a single pass. He clearly isnt good and it's time to accept it.

Losing minds hardly, every complaint and call to make changes with this defense is overdue


Yeah, and I don't want to be a negagator but I mean, look at the statistics.

600 yards to Ole Miss.

550 to Texas A&M.

Averaging 30+ points a game on defense.

Their running back had 174 yards, averaged 6.5 yards a rush.

Kellen fricking Mond threw for ~340 yards.

32 first downs given up.

12 - 15 on third down.

Second week in a row with 9+ minutes of TOP to the opposing team.

It's not an overreaction, our defense is very, very bad. Remember, Vanderbilt held these guys to 17 points.

I think if we remove Wilson, Stiner, Burney, and Campbell is added...we may not be as bad as it seems. I know I'm a blind homer...but this offense is still as good as advertised. The defense just has to not be terrible. That's not out of the realm of possibility.

I mean, honestly, we don't lose anything by letting Grantham go today.

It's not like recruits don't see the writing on the wall and clearly dude doesn't really give a shite about his job.

Worse defense at Uf since at least the 70s. Consider that for a moment.

I agree. We just know he wont. Mullen gets to comfortable at times. Which is worrisome.

Grantham is average at best. Never been a fan of his.
Marco needs to be benched. Never seen someone get beat so much and keep their job.
Our DL has been very bad.
Linebacker play inconsistent outside of Miller.

There is no fixing this D this year. Need an overhaul this offseason. Fire Grantham please.

Everyone's defense looks pretty bad outside of a few teams. So I'll give a little slack for Covid..but coaching has been bad at every position it seems this year. Has anyone actually progressed from last year? I'm not seeing it.

Yea...Aggies matched up poorly with Bama because their power run game doesn't work on Bama, which it does very well on us. This spread speed offense is almost impossible to stop though. I'd bet Ole Miss could put 30 on any team in the nation. Kiffin is absolutely brilliant.

If Kiffin is brilliant does that make Mullen super genius? We beat him and he had to overcome this PUTRID defense..he only becomes super genius once he fires Grantham actually.

Mullen is a brilliant mind as well, but let's not act like Ole Miss and UF have the same talent.

The first thing I would do is replace Shaun Davis with someone who can actually play the safety position. He’s late at every play and when he actually gets there he attempts to tackle using the human bowling ball technique which only works 40% of the time. I’m not sure if he comprehends that he has two arms, both which can be used in tackling. He’s a liability and not a leader.

Lol you have issues with Davis out of all people on defense? That’s laughable
