I believe a portion of that. But unlike Clawson, Sanders was allowed carte blanche to run his own offense. He was given enough rope to get into ruts and tunnel vision that eventually hung himself...and even some quality dangling time. After Tennessee he was at Kentucky and FSU. At Kentucky he regained his skills at teaching fundamental which had slipped drastically in Knoxville. That was the dichotomy between his and Cut's OC tenure. The "major success" you reference has been at FSU. I don't believe for one second that he's the playcaller or mastermind of that offense. He's a good recruiter and teacher for that program but that's the extent imo. Fulmer most likely regretted completely delegating the offense to a relatively inexperienced young mind and overcompensated by overly meddling in later years. I do blame the Ainge/Clausen QB yo-yo derby on Phil...and that was the beginning of the end for him, but the breakdown of fundamentals and discipline that Cut had to fix, rest at Sanders door imo...and some of that manifested itself in that meltdown against LSU.
