Hypothetically speaking....do you think a new defensive coordinator could make any difference?

Personally, I don't get that move. But I ain't Steckel. If it's about a principle or a bucket list thing good for him. Hate to see him go for the Tigers sake.

Defense was there for the Bama game. But they can't hold the line all friggen night.

Mauk was terrrible. Not sure how else to say it. And yeah losing DGB didn't help him or the Tigers any either but there Mauk was that night hitting on the spectacular run for your life throws but unable to connect on the routine plays to keep their drives going. And when he did connect the ball was often dropped.

And Hensons run plays take twice the time to develop as any other team we face.

Offensively speaking, that game sucked.

But Henson just did not do much at all 'cept watch the world go by for 60 minutes.

Sooooooooo......let me see if I get this straight.........the O Coordinator was never really in the game and was AWOL for 60 minutes........while the run plays take twice as long as other teams to develop..........and when Mauk connected on the short throws, the receivers dropped the ball......yet its Mauk's fault they lost the game. Seriously.....which is it. When you run for a total of 42 yards in the game, and the O coordinator is flipping coins or pulling plays randomly from his hat, you can't blame that crap on the QB. Same for dropping 50-11 passes. He throws em, but he can't go catch them every play. In Bama's 13 games only 4 QB's threw for 270+ yards against the Bama D. Mauk was one of them. I don't put that loss on Mauk. It goes on Pinkle and Henson. Henson sucks. He doesn't understand basic football. Pinkle didn't prepare his team. Steck's D was great, as always. Mauk did what he needed to do to keep the game close. Our RB's were aweful in that game.

Mauk threw for 272 yards. That's more than Blake Simms in that game.....and lord know Gary and Verne sucked him off all night long on his throws and yardage and passing ability. Mauk didn't have his best game, but he sure didn't have a bad game against one of the best D's in the country. Mizzou didn't start a single drive outside of the 30 yard line. Most of them started INSIDE the 20. When you are pinned back to begin with, it makes it that much tougher to do something. Especially when you can't run the damn ball and Bama knows you are going to be passing.

I didn't put any loss on Mauk. I put a bad game on Mauk.

I gave him credit for the 3 big run for your life plays to Hunt. I acknowledged some dropped passes. I acknowledged Henson part as well.

As for what he didn't do, take the THREE long ones away and Mauk was 13 for 31 with 120 yards. He was off without pressure and he was off with pressure. And that's what I'm talkin about. He was off. When the run game wasn't on. We couldn't get anything going and Bama had the ball 60% of the time.

You can say he wasn't great. You can say the loss wasn't his fault. Say what you want. I say he had a bad game when we could least afford it and for me any way there ain't enough lipstick behind the counter to change that pig.
