It comes down to if they can adapt. That is one reason Saban stays at the top and why Pruitt crashedFootball is always evolving. The offense will be out in front then the defenses catch up. That's why I personally never get caught n up in the new shiny thing that is out there. Look back over the history of the game and you will see that offensive evolutions have been what has moved the game forward. But when push comes to shove, you better have one play that when its nut cutting time, you can hang your hat on to move the chains. What has that been for Tennessee the past 10 years? I am asking because I don't know, and I've been watching the Vols since 1973. We used to be very good with the FB lead and the counter gap.
Malzahn and Kelly built their careers being offensive geniuses only to fade later in their careers.

Does CJH run an offense that can last longer than 5 years before becoming average?
Spurrier’s offense wasn’t the same later in his career. Adaptability is the key.Malzahn and Kelly built their careers being offensive geniuses only to fade later in their careers.

I question the analytical skills and football knowledge of anyone that EVER viewed Malzahn as an offensive genius.Malzahn and Kelly built their careers being offensive geniuses only to fade later in their careers.

Malzahn is fairly good but not a genius, let's be honest... he's a dork. Chip Kelly was a scam, and the wheels fell off the scam.
Me posting on the Kelly scam back in 2016.
One of the assistants today talked about how Heupel had evolved over his career already and was constantly looking to improve. Someone also mentioned that he'd successfully adjusted to different personnel.Malzahn and Kelly built their careers being offensive geniuses only to fade later in their careers.

All spread spread systems are not created equal. Malzahn runs the wing-T , all stretched out. Alot of misdirection and outside runs. Kelly runs a spread but every play is based off on the zone read. Every counter and play action is based off the zone read. Myer runs the triple option out of a spread formation.
All of these systems have different strengths and weaknesses. In the Malzone system , a running QB is necessary. In Myers system , Tebow was essentially the third running back of the option which combines the QB and running back and allows an extra receiver. Kelly system is am awesome system , but fails at the point of attack when the defense can get penetration with the front four ( see Oregon vs LSU )
Butch wanted to use his power running system and a 4 vertical passing game. The passing game was essentially a layered "west coast" system. Read from the top layer down. One of the issues with Butches system is he never has a QB that could run a layered west coast system. He routinely did not keep enough blockers in . His power running game did not take off because he did not use the zone rear correctly to off set the pass rush and his blocking was not good enough to allow a true QB zone read ( Oregon at the point of attack ) . I attribute this to Butch not adapting his system to SEC play. What he did at Cin was not feasible without some sort of change.
CJH features a power running game out of the spread much like Butch , except he uses RPO and zones to offset the defense attacking down hill. He does not necessarily need a running QB , but he needs an accurate pre-snap read from his QB. His passing game is read horizontally , often uses three receivers , and the deception of tight ends and running backs. His receivers and QB's have the ability to change routes to find the "grass" much life the Fun and Gun at Florida ( which I think was one of the best spread systems ) .
The issue that this system will have is that many of the trap , cutback and power runs take far too long to develop and they allow too much backside pressure. He will need to depend on the RPO game , as I dont think the zone read game as a main weapon will get you very far in the SEC. He is going to have trouble , the top half of the SEC will man cover with success which will allow the backers to attack the running game. His system at Mizzouri feasted on weak teams and floundered badly against against capable defenses .
It will be interesting
