so you think he's not pointing out all the open WRs on film?

again, he has routes that get people open. again, he can't throw them the ball.

Sanders would be a great hire as long as he doesn't bring in Phil as OC!

There you are with that film thingy again. Football is not all about film. And were you in the film room with them? Coaching is more about communication and fundamentals. Something our qb's and wr's are lacking.

Let me point out one simple thing. In the Wyoming game.. Would we have won if we ran the ball 99% of the time. And with about 3 minutes to go we are 3 and out on 3 typical Crompton passes 0 runs. Why?

Who is the coach at UT-Martin?..or do they even have a football team. It seems like the University of Tennessee is cleaning house as a whole. Prolly never happened before.

I would say that almost 100% of coaches at the HS, College, and NFL level would consider you an idiot with that statement.

Take a second....think of the best QB coach in the history of football. Got the answer. Ok, now realize that whoever you came up with would not be able to coach Crompton/Stephens into good QB's. They just arent capable. Bottom line.

why? it's clear Sanders was nothing but a scapegoat for Fulmer the first go round.

i think he'd make a good coach for UTC.

FINALLY SOMEONE ELSE GETS IT!!!!!!!

To back him up....from today's paper. (& posted in the other thread)

"And don't point the finger of blame at first-year offensive coordinator Dave Clawson. I'm hearing Clawson was given promises by Fulmer, promises that have not been honored.

It's evident the offense we've seen is no different than the one Tennessee has run for years, just way more incompetent."

Ok, with my low IQ, I ask this feeble question. When and if you played football were you in a film room when you played? When the coach was teaching you fundamentals were you in a film room? When you were running wind sprints were you using a mouse or remote control to fast forward yourself? When you were learning footwork were you in a virtual film room? When you were.. You get the point, I could go for hours on this. Football is practiced and played on a field. Coaches can point out some things in a film room, but COACHING is accomplished on some type of field as a team. This team is undercoached and it didn't happen in the film room.

I certainly agree. There is two positives to this situation.

1: Clawson gets a new head coaching job and lands on his feet.

2: He is FAR away from the other SEC schools.

He is definately one of the new VERY bright offensive minds in football.

I would love to have him in 'Nooga.

You don't have a clue what film actually teaches you about a team's tendancies, different looks, and personnel groups that they will throw at you. If you don't watch film in the SEC, it would be like throwing a streetball team out on an NBA floor against the Spurs. Good Luck with that logic on how film isn't important. Also, ask Coach Cut how important film is and he will tell you that it's almost the most important thing a QB does.

You need to film to be able to teach your players what they are doing. Our high school coach is a big believer in film as apposed to our former coach....we have gone from a 3 win a year program to a consistant 7 wins a year program. Film DOES help, and to coach a team to win, you need to use film to do so.

Ok, since you now have direct communications with almost 100% of all HS, College, and NFL coaches to now include Coach Cut. Answer this, what the heck does it matter how much film you watch if you cant throw/catch the ball? For someone with an elevated knowledge you sure miss the point.

This brings me to the next question. Is Clawson watching enough film? Surely he knew that his qb's couldn't throw the ball to wide open recievers so why not run the ball against Wyoming?

There's the first problem and even the film states this, inept players. Now tell me what he is supposed to do with inept players he has and develop them when it is obvious they don't have what it takes to play in the SEC on daily basis. We haven't seen Coleman yet and that was Cut's Wonderboy pick last year. Clawson can't even get the players he needs here to be successful, so how can he succeed?? He's out the door with Fulmer now, so this discussion is almost futile except for the fact that you have no idea what a team needs to do to prepare for a team on a weekly basis.

What worries me about people like you is that you want to be right no matter what. These same inept players did fairly well last year. As I recall our D was the major problem and was cited as such. This year it's our O.. and try as you might to blame it all on CPF I disagree (it's his fault because he hired him, not the reasons you believe). To me it's fairly obvious why we are in the position we are. Our offense sucks. Why Coleman isn't playing is beyond me, but we know who makes those calls. Preparing a team on a weekly basis requires a base knowledge and capability only learned on the field of play. I'm pressing you on this film issue because so many of you have heard coaches talk about all the time spent in the film room. I think it's great, but hater, could you play for the vols by watching film? And why did Clawson choose the plays he chose?

Your logic right there has one major flaw, even though a lot of people had a problem with him, Erik Ainge made this offense look 3x better than it should have been. Cut wouldn't have had the success with Crompton or Stephens and Fulmer wouldn't have let him start Coleman and Cut knew it. Cut leaves for Duke, Ainge graduates, and we are screwed.

He only calls 70% of the plays and I think that number is high.

Cut would have played Coleman and I guarantee he would have beaten UCLA, WY, and probably UGA. Clawson's play calling ability is pathetic. His eyes looked like half dollars against Florida, he isnt ready for this level yet.

Maybe this experience will help him in the future though, or if the new coach retains him (hopefully not) maybe he will turn out alright. But, to me, he hasnt shown me anything this year. His scheming and the whole system looks like a high school program, I don't think anyone on the team bought into what he wants to do.
