While I can't argue that they beat LSU, I can say that it was the Defense that carried UT to that win. The problem is the Offense. Randy Sanders' system has never worked since he took over the OC position. Furthermore, another problem is simply that Phil has been there so long that his judgement has become clouded. He still tries to promote Randy even after Randy himself stepped down from the OC position.
The entire Offensive Coaching Staff and Special Teams Staff needs to be replaced. Phil doesn't need to go just yet, but he needs to remember that this is a team with fans that expects wins on Saturday.
I went to the Vandy game and I've never seen a more "dead" crowd in my 35 years. This is a direct reflection of the teams ability. They can play all those stupid Proffitts commercials and try to make Phil and the team look like the God's of Football, but the fact remains that what you've done doesn't really mean squat compared to what you need to do. The glory of Peyton Manning and the '98 National Championship are long gone.
The fans don't pay the ticket prices they charge to see losses. They need to stop trying to plug the holes and use this off-season to build a new ship and one that will do what's expected.
Like win.
