Time for a change? Kentucky fans continue to voice frustration over OC Eddie Gran’s offense

The Kentucky Wildcats have struggled offensively this year. After a 20-10 loss to Mizzou last weekend, the offense was even worse on Saturday against Georgia.
Though the Wildcat defense held No. 5 Georgia to only 14 points, Kentucky only managed a measly 3 points in a 14-3 loss.
Joey Gatewood got his first start at QB for the injured Terry Wilson, but fans pointed the blame for Kentucky’s slow offense elsewhere.
For the second week in a row, fans were furious with the play-calling from OC Eddie Gran. As you can see below, many of them called for Gran to be fired:

Lynn bowden saved Eddie gran’s job last year. After the end of this season I think he’s gone

There is absolutely no way you can convince me that Eddie Gran should still be the OC when I wake up tomorrow morning. This is awful

Bold strategy of Eddie Gran to run the clock out down 11 with 6 minutes left

So how many weeks of sub-200 yard offense does Mark Stoops need to pull the plug on Eddie Gran?

Someone please tell Eddie Gran that we are behind and can’t run the clock out on this drive. Open it up and throw the ball down the field!!!!!

Kentucky fans it’s not Terry Wilson and Joey Gatewood. It’s Eddie Gran.
Blame him for this mess.

UK defense has forced 2 turnovers and Eddie Gran has scored *checks notes* zero point off of them

The defense is doing their job, Eddie Gran, not so much.

Until Kentucky gets rid of Eddie Gran as OC it’s not going to get any better.

For the record the @UKFootball defense came up with 2 t/o and the offense did DICK with them. It’s time for Eddie Gran to go and get a Sun Belt gig and let’s get a real @SEC OC.

Will Kentucky make a change? We’ll see what happens after the Wildcats break down film of Saturday’s loss.
