As you said, I don't really like his offensive style. Chaney wants to run a 1 back offense that passes the majority of the time. I think we saw that in the UK game after Dooley was let go. The only reason we went I formation and ran the ball was Dooley. I want an offense that will run the ball, whether that be from the spread like Chip Kelly or from the power I like Jim Harbaugh.
He did get a little better after the UF game, but in general Chaney is a very predictable playcaller. Often based on the formation I could tell you what play we were running before we ran it. The reverses/sweeps drive me crazy. In the SEC you have to run the ball straight ahead. Defenses in general are too fast for that. Late in the season on 3rd and short we would take shots deep. Our running game was great this year when we were in the I running up the middle but often Chaney would throw in critical situations.
Chaney seems like a great person and the players love him. I'm just not the biggest fan of his playcalling. I hope he does well where ever he coaches next year, I'd just prefer UT to make a change. JMO.
