And I agree with you that the players had some fire on Saturday. It's encouraging that the defense bounced back so quickly after Georgia, but it's also discouraging that the offense hasn't bounced back once in the past three years. I look forward to seeing some change, any change, on that side of the ball.DIMON KENDRICK-HOLMEShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09810097539680781858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7415996603985116861.post-61508114526152947042010-10-25T11:39:34.219-05:002010-10-25T11:39:34.219-05:00Glad to hear he is going to make some significant ...Glad to hear he is going to make some significant changes. One suggestion; is it legal to put sticky stuff on the receiver's gloves?!<br />I figured if I didn't see fire in the players then Caldwell had lost the team. But they did work hard, so hopefully Caldwell can shake things up.Go Dores! Do whatever it takes!

Whatever you think of LS, you don't just come to Vandy afer a great high school career and not know how to play the position. The assistant coaches are primarily respsonsible for evaluating talent, teaching the position, and developing talent. Seems to me that Kiser's handling (development) of LS has not gone well; and Charlie Fischer handling as passing game coordinator and WR coach has also not gone well either. I like Coach Caldwell for finally being openly honest and saying what most observers have noticed for 2 years now about this offense. I'm pulling for Caldwell but he needs to be very agressive in changes to his staff.

Hearing Caldwell talking about changes on offensive, whether with players or personnel is something we’ve been waiting for for a long time. Herb Hand has always been an interesting hire. While coming to Vanderbilt is a step up from C-USA it was surprising he came here under an interim coach, at least at the time. It makes me think he might have promised something down the road…offensive coordinator maybe? Whatever the case, I doubt we will see the former co-offensive coordinator with Gus Malzahn, the duo that lead the nation in total offense when they were together, not involved in playing calling for much longer. Robbie isn’t an idiot; he has to see what Malzahn is doing at Auburn and want to try to see if Hand can emulate a fraction of what Malzahn has at Auburn. If it isn’t this season, it will be next season for sure. Robbie wants this job or he wouldn’t be talking about changes. If we have to wait a year to see Hand doing the play calling, I’ll wait and hope they give Robbie one more year. It’ll be worth it.

Caldwell's in a tough situation and must clearly rebuild the offense, and he needs at least a full season to do that. He's got talent, yes, but he's still got the worst talent in the SEC. It's a tough challenge and he wasn't going to do it in seven games.DIMON KENDRICK-HOLMEShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09810097539680781858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7415996603985116861.post-19485623330135601212010-10-25T01:00:06.025-05:002010-10-25T01:00:06.025-05:00You are ever the optimist, Dimon.
