The playbook at the D3 level is nowhere near that. I can tell you from experience. Unbelievable. When I have time I'm going to look deep into it. Very interesting

I'm calling BS. Coach Shaun & Coach Jim were/are two of the most innovative offensive minds in the nation. No way UT's offensive playbook could be much more complex.

Didn't Walt Harris bring this offense to Tennessee in the early to mid 80s and it basically just got passed down to coach Fulmer Then Cut?

Majors brought in Al Saunders to rewrite the play book. We used that as the base until Fulmers last year

Seeing this helps explain why not many freshmen got to play early

Does the link work for anyone? I'm still trying to view this piece of complicated football planning.

You can actually find all sorts of playbooks online. I've found the 1998 Vols Defensive playbook, and whatnot. They're around. You can find them if you just search the right places.

That was interesting to see. For people that might know, is that a typical level of complexity for a playbook?

Oh, and that guy has a lot of these on his site, some are much more recent. No idea how legit they are but this search will pull many of them:

Many high school playbooks look similar to this now. We use a good bit of the terminology and procedures.

I'm not saying it was stupid and wasn't good. I just understood much easier. I guess because I was taught and just didn't peak at it. This one just has more "stuff" in it than our base playbook. However this may not be a base playbook. If you throw in all the additions and everything throughout the season it would be more in depth. SH knew what he was talking about. No doubt. He helped me a great deal.

True the base system didn't change for years at UT, but Cut was always making additions to his system. But, when Dave Clawson was hired as OC, he brought his own playbook with him including news terminology. That is part of the reason UT was so bad on offense his only year at UT, the players never really bought into his system which ultimately cost Fulmer his job.

And all along, I thought the playbook then consisted of run, run, hail mary to Kelly Washington, and punt....

Haha. I was definitely being sarcastic. You were correct in what you said.

WOW! Thats alot! My Middle School teams complete playbook is about 40+ pages, and I have had complaints that its too long.

Interesting to see how the receivers need to read secondary coverages and adjust their routes.

Viewing this playbook definitely opens your eyes to how difficult it is for an OC to fully install and run his offense with great execution. Easily a 3+ year task for everything to gel and plug in players who know the offense just as well as the starters.

Not that I wasn't already leaning this way, but I'll reserve judgement on our OC's play calling and scheme for another year. I just can't accept any notion that we've seen all there is to see from our passing game.
