...we need a new offensive coordinator.

We need a Sal Sunseri on the offensive side of the ball, too. Maybe it would be different if we had Drew Brees and we played in the Big Ten.

...but we don't.

Chaney has never proven he can coordinate an SEC offense. The 2nd half tonight was an example of this reality.

Plays tonight:

Under center: 8 passes and 8 runs.

Shotgun: 36 passes and 2 runs.

Pistol: 5 passes and 16 runs.

Wildcat: 2 runs.

And 2 pass plays where I didn't catch the formation because ESPN didn't come back in time.

I don't know if you can really glean anything from that, but it's interesting.

Have said that Chaney sucks since he arrived at UT. Still feel that way but I really would like to see Dooley succeed. Have my doubts though. He has tried his best but I said last year , if he keeps Chaney it will cost him his job.

He sucks plain and simple, we will never win with him calling the plays. He is too vanilla. You have to be able to scheme to win, all we do is drop back and try to pass/go long. In the SEC thats not gonna work. He is one of the problems that needs to go ASAP!

Problem is, even if you wanted to fire Chaney, there isn't an offensive coach on the staff that has ever coordinated before. Well, I am pretty sure none of them have. So, no replacement.

I thought the wildcat formation that got the touchdown was a great play. That being said, I think he is too cerebral and that works to his disadvantage.

I liked the wildcat and putting A.J. in there, too. For some reason, it didn't feel like Chaney's idea.

Sal's D played like **** too so I don't really want a him on the O side of the ball at the moment. All around poor showing, in the second half anyway...its becoming part of our tradition.

Posted earlier that i had defended Chaney but no more. His play calling is stupid sometimes, its very predictable.
I eat crow on Chaney, he is not an SEC OC. I was wrong.

This is true. I love how everyone was pissing and moaning about Wilcox's defense and how it was "bend not break" and "didn't get the turnovers."

Well, this defense broke a lot tonight and got zero turnovers. When you play a very aggressive defense, you're going to give up big plays and you HAVE to get turnovers to offset them.

A huge bucket of hot garbage from the defense in the second half.

Appreciate seeing this. I have gotten ripped for 2+ years saying there is absolutely no reason to think that Jim Chaney will succeed in the SEC.

I think many more will start seeing that reality soon as well.

on its heels. That's what the hell the spread is--a scheme, a gimmicky scheme that is tremendously effective when run properly and the reason Oregon and Boise State are on the map. Florida has more talent than we do: Yet we are the predictable offense and they are unpredictable (with mobile Qbs). We're at a disadvantage before we even stop on the field--and we've got MORE pro-style talent now than we usually have or can expect to have. That is why our offensive truly suxed for a long time: Because we were runnning this predictable offense with limited talent. When Hunter and Patterson leave our offense will truly sux again. We MUST go spread and get a mobile QB.

It wasn't sal's fault. When an offense can't sustain a drive and send the d right back out. When you don't have good depth on d and you can't get a break you are screwed

I thought it was very ironic in a scary way that Dooley came out this week and said he has changed his offensive philosophy and now agreed with Chaney in that what he called the quick strike offense was the better way to go. Our offense is fubar and if the "you guys just try to get open" play doesn't work we have no solutions. Works great against Georgia State and MTSU though.

Nope.

I would agree with you if they were long sustained drives. The D was giving up one big play right after another... that comes down to coaching and player focus.

I just wish our O had an identity. We have the best wide receivers and a good QB, yet we aren't a passing team (not based on tonight's efforts anyway). Tonight just showed that if you give Chaney almost unlimited talent, he can only manage to piece together a hodge-podge rag-tag offense. Not a good sign for the rest of the season or for the rest of his coaching career.

Dooley's loyalty to Chaney during the great coaching fire of 2011-2012 will be what seals Dooley's fate. We made a boogey man out of Harry Heistand, but the problem was with Chaney all along.

Keep Jay Graham and fire the rest of these clowns. Time to buy ourselves a reasonable chance to compete in the SEC.

Some of us tried to make this point and were basically booed off the board.

I think it's only fair to give Sal a bit more time. We don't have all the pieces we need on that side of the ball and our offense put him in a very difficult spot for most of the game.

Well, I'm not saying Heistand was good. I thought he was definitely part of the problem, but firing him while letting Chaney stay was pointless.
