Seeing Mullen chewing Grantham's arse

The defense is getting better every game. I would chill with this.

Just look at the second half in the UK game. I know they were forced to throw and couldn't, but you're starting to see a 2nd half shift for the defense nearly every game.

Defense gave up 17 last week, 10 this week.

Soon UT Soon

The thing is: You don't need to adjust.

A lot of these defenses are easy to figure out, I figure them out weeks earlier. Grantham is just lazy. I think he's pretty much conceded that he will leave at the end of the year.

Terry Wilson cannot consistently throw downfield, and it makes no sense to just let them piece us up and down the field. If they're going to drive like that, at least make them work for it. They didn't even have to work to keep the ball for 23 - 24 minutes in the first half.

Literally, just load the box, play single high safety press man.

Even idiots like me on a message board know that's how you beat Kentucky.

Same with next week, man up outside, zone the box up if you want to run zone. He's just such a goddamn lazy POS.

Not as worried about the defense right now. The offense has got to be world class to best Alabama and something was missing today

That's also a case I make for Grantham being lazy.

We haven't been lining up correctly the entire year. Any team that watches us should have a two-minute offense, run it as fast as possible.

Grantham doesn't prepare for it, and he seems too afraid to have other gameplans. How many games does he need to see to work on more simplistic defensive schemes?

IMO, this year's defense is on Grantham. If he returns, and next year's defense continues to regress, then that's 100% on Mullen.

Mason was just fired at Vandy. I'm 100% for bringing him to UF

I hate to be so aggressive with this, but I'm pretty sure Mullen and Mason hate each other. I think Grantham might get one more year, maybe, depending on a few other circumstances.

Not that I want that, just that a lot of highly rated defensive recruits are coming in and I have to think he's a big part of the reason. Maybe not, but they will likely say this year was a mulligan.

Most defenses around the country look like shite.

What I'm hoping, and no one is going to like it, is:

Grantham stays, but now with a team full of his players, has more confidence to coach like he normally does. This fangless Grantham scared to blitz and play man is excruciating.

Really, if he just gets his head out of his arse and has the athletes, we'll be right as rain. We know the talent is coming in, Grantham has got to just nut up and take his job more seriously.

10 and 17 points isn't that bad for the last two games, but if he can make the adjustment, and maybe that public arse chewing was enough, I like the guy.

He can clearly recruit, and we've had two top ten defenses the last two years.

This is with the huge acknowledgment: If he doesn't change in the next few games, he's got to go. Some would be logical in demanding that he go right now.

I’m of similar opinion with Straws on this. Seems like there is some bad blood between them.

But then, we did hire Randy Shannon shortly after whipping Miami and harassing his team.
