What work well at one level or conference doesn’t necessarily work elsewhere. Butch tried to bring an offense from the mid majors to the SEC and it didn’t work.

Butch’s offenense was based on speed and finesse. The SEC defenses were both fast and big. Guess what, fast and big, beats fast. A fast Butch 4 star from the Midwest was not equal to a south east 4 star. That fast Midwest 4star didn’t need much development to do well in the mid majors, but in the SEC, well.
You have to experience these things to become a P5 coach.

Butch's offensive philosophy wasn't the problem, it was his lack of player development.

It would be a sad day if we lose Osovet!

He's a really good coach and knows how to put points on the board with his system.

My thoughts on Osovet after Pruitt brought him here so follow me here and then think it through and give me your positive feedback please.....

Pruitt is a expert on the D but he also knows the O pretty well, has to in order to be a great D coach.

Pruitt is now a HC so he has to expand his knowledge of the O and be more openminded of our O.

I think he brought Osovet here to learn more from Helton and Friend and for Pruitt to learn more about how Osovet could incorporate more of the Osovet systems into what Pruitt knows well and wants to run.

If Pruitt can mesh in to his Pro systems some of the things from the Osovet systems and the players are smart enough to learn it all well and execute it well then we could end up with a O system that's VERY hard to stop.

The FACT is that for the next 2 or 3 years we're totally rebuilding and we won't be great without at least 3 more recruiting classes of really good players picked to run our O and D systems, that's our reality no matter how much we all hate it.

If Osovet becomes our next OC I'm all for it especially if this last year have been learning how to mesh the Pro and Osovet systems together.

Pruitts D and a meshed together Osovet O could mean bad news for any team that plays our footVol Team.

Don't sleep on Friend, he's a very good coach and in a emergency he can step right in and replace any OC and I'm happy we have him.

Sam Pittman couldn't have done better this season with the O linemen we had to play this season.

VFL...GBO!!!

I am all in for osovet, if he is allowed to run his own offense. From what I understand there are not near as many different blocking schemes to learn and with our ol I think that's something we need. If we try to throw too many schemes at this time on ol I feel it would be a hinderance.

I can see us putting more RPO into our game plans after we have a good running QB that can also pass well on the run.

As long as we can keep Osovet I expect to see some serious challenges added to our O schemes that the other teams DC's will have nightmares about.

We have one now, Stroutt very good athlete, and strong arm. I predict he will be the starter because of his running ability as well as a strong arm next year.

I predict you are 100 percent wrong. JG will be the starter for the remainder of his UT career.

Jason Depew worked with Osovet for six years and says if Osovet was OC that it would take 15 practices this spring to be ready for the season.

Osovet 'is always looking at ways to manipulate the defense'

“Quick, sharp, and football knowledge” is needed.........better hope this class has those qualities. Not sure if many already on campus have those qualities. OL couldn’t learn how to block after 12 games and a full year.

Manipulate the D???

No! Its much better to be completely predictable on every Offensive play!?!?!

2 runs plays, then a desperation throw on 3rd and long, then punt......Duhhh!!!

How big a risk is it for Pruitt is to promote Osovet to OC at this point in the search? Osovet would come in with a lot to prove very quickly. Does the lack of experience on a big stage like the SEC work against him? I personally think the RPO is not going away either in college or the NFL for a long time. I like what I hear from the two people in the article, but they are going to be very positive because they worked with him. To me it would be a gamble as I doubt Osovet is known by many coaches in the P5 (yet).

Surely a promotion within would be quick and easy, wouldn't get in the way of recruiting. I don't think this is it. JMO

Not to dig on the guy, but...

anyone else notice Dan's paraphrase in no way matched what he was paraphrasing? The guy didn't say 15 practices and you know the offense, he said they were much better when the QB was there in the Spring (plus Summer and Fall camp)...well no sh**.

He also said yeah it's simplistic IF you have a smart, quick, football smart qb. Well, I'd hope so, but not many college QBs are Peyton Manning either.

I'd prefer to stick with the more Tennessee style, downhill, under center at times, more pro style, so I'm personally rooting against this. After Butch, I don't want to seet the two-handed butt-out handoffs anymore. Dobbs torching a D on occasion was the only thing that made that remotely tolerable.

Only the qb. From his video, he says only the qb has to think. OL is very straightforward. Only wants 1 thinker and 10 people that just go at full speed without hesitation.

If he pumps out an article about every person associated with UT or linked to the OC search then he can later claim insider status. I personally think he's going all in on Propst based on the number of articles he's used him as a source. At this point I'd prefer an orange defense thread to a Dan article

Yurcih would be a good get IMO.

But why are we limited? I would think proven OC's at the football powerhouse schools couldn't be swayed to come here. But without researching it, i would think with the right offer we should be able to pull a guy from another school that has had some recent success. It might take a little more money than we want to pay or more freedom to manage his practice that CJP likes or maybe a coach would have to come with him. But this can be a good hire with the right incentive.

Not necessarily true. Look at Yurcich, he lost out the Akron job to the HC at UTC. So maybe he needs to get out from under Gundy's shadow and make a name for himself in the SEC...nobody cares about OSU football outside of Bedlam.
