Chaney - uses his playmakers ?

[tabrams]

When OC Chaney was here at TN before with Coach Dooley, they were able to recruit Cordarelle Patterson, a multi-talented WR and return specialist, from a Juco.

As we recall, Patterson stayed for a year then went pro. He’s now tied the record of most TDs from kick returns in the NFL ever.

That season for TN, Patterson only had 4 punt returns, 12 kick returns, and 800 yards of receiving. So Guru Chaney got very little production from a future NFL hall of famer.

I don’t think Chaney was a very good OC then, and he’s even worse now bc the game is evolving and he’s not.

That year Patterson only caught 3 passes a game.
That’s pitiful! I don’t card if Patterson knew zero plays or couldn’t run a route! Surely he could run a quick slant or a go route.

Patterson is an absolute freak of nature.... I don’t think I’ve ever seen a guy as tall and big as him
with that kind of blazing speed and crazy cutting ability....

Dooley and Chaney committed absolutely criminal offensive and special teams game plans to not involve him more.....

Chaney needs to hit the road imo..

Chaney went as far as getting Patterson snaps at running back. He did a great job of getting him touches guy.

No way.. he did a terrible job!
There weee games he had 1 catch or no catches!
Barely used him at a RB or on reverses...

What they did with him was just as bad as wat Jones did with Kamara....

Chaney is below average imo....

I think you might be the only person on here complaining about our offense when Chaney had Bray, Hunter, Rogers and Patterson.
The reason Patterson still can’t find a home at a position in because he’s not a student of the game and he’s not a good route running wide receiver and he’s not a good running back, but as you said he’s a freak athlete and he’s able to overcome some of his shortcomings.

Know it sounds like a broken record, but be CREATIVE for gosh sakes. Right now using motion as window dressing would be a revelation.

Maybe they should have gotten him more touches but.... that was one of our highest scoring offenses ever.

It's not always as cut-and-dried as you make it sound, OP. Some players, for whatever reason, make a bigger splash in the NFL than they did in college. A great example of this is David Martin, who played WR at UT from '97-'00. You won't find his name in any of the UT record books, but the Green Bay Packers saw something in him and drafted him in the sixth round of the '91 draft. He went on to play as a tight-end for 10 years in the NFL.

Who predicted that Arian Foster would turn into an all-pro? There are examples every year from other schools. Patterson was a freakish talent his one year with us, but he was a rough gem. It took some polishing at the next level for him to realize his potential.

I ageee with you 100%...
My point is that Chaney isn’t very good...

He had Bray, Hunter. Darick, Patterson, several
NFL Olinenen, and still could barely run the ball...

He’s so predictable. No creativity really... to me he’s not very good....I think Chaney is mostly to blame for our horrible O this year...

 

[tabrams]

Maybe they should have gotten him more touches but.... that was one of our highest scoring offenses ever.

I agree but tge O had poor balance.... shld hv been able to run much better.....

Folks were not happy with Chaney back then... and they’re not happy with Chaney now....

We are poorly coached on offense.... reminds me of how we looked with Sanders before Cutcliffe returned...

 

[NATHAN05]

I still petition that Chaney is handcuffed by Pruitt who is a micromanager.........too much smoke coming off the hill stating such for there not to be some truth........not saying Chaney is the most sought after coordinator in all of football, but he's pretty darn good.

You say he had very little production but then note his stats indicating otherwise. 800
Yards from one receiver position is pretty darn good especially if he was the #2 receiver.

Patterson is not very smart, but he is and was electric with the ball in his hands. Hence why the bears (not unlike Cheney) decided to hand him the ball as a running back, just to get him more touches.

 

[Longshank]

Comes down to players. Tennessee doesnt have the players. Is that also development??? I think it factors in.
Looking at florida it doesnt matter who they throw to they are talented at well coached.
Ive said before the JG wont make the big throw and has been programed to take the check down far to often to be safe. The problem with that is one penalty or negative play and the series is often over. Also way to many 3rd downs to always have to make..
It also seem with JG he cant run several types of offense or even mix it in. JG running? Things like that mount up to teams having less and less to prepare for. Florida is coming at team with all kinds of sets, players, packages, and being able to execute it well. Trask will run. His back will run but can pass too and gets meaningful reps. Do they feel like passing to the backs like vs georgia? Do the attack with there TE? And they have plenty of talent at WR. Meanwhile it seems both creativity and talent are lacking at Tennessee.

You either have selective memory or do not recall those actual games / season well.

#1 CP is not great as a pure receiver. That's why he's never had great production from the classic position as a pro. He is a phenomenal playmaker that can catch passes. That is undisputed. So his 800yds receiving aint bad on a team w another NFL WR, an NFL TE, and another NFL training camp WR.

#2 By the 2nd 1/2 of the season CP basically W-A-S our offense. Direct snaps, and from the RB position, and reverses, toss sweeps, and even passing. Cheney knew he wasn't going to class and he'd never return. He flat wore the guy out and CP produced. That broken reverse pass at UGA is one of the greatest offensive plays in UT history IMO.

Chaney tried to get Patterson the ball any way he could, even lined him up at tailback. He’s a very a talented athlete, but seems to have the same scenario playing out in his NFL career. Not sure why he hasn’t ever stuck at a position other than return specialist. The UT team he was on had other very talented receivers as well, and Bray spread it around pretty well as I recall.

Yes averaging 37 points a game is aweful production from an offense. Chaney must have learned his offense from football for dummies.

We had the number 2 offense in the SEC guy. Patterson can't run a route.

Yea bc against bad teams Bray was throwing bombs...
Check the stats against the good teams we played that year... we couldn’t really run tge ball...

Chaney is average at best. Who couldn’t coach those players? Against UF Bray looked bad... oline sucked, and couldn’t run the ball..

It’s bc Chaney is too predictable and the D knows what’s comimg... imo

I stopped reading when you called Patterson a future hall of famer.

Also, I remember Patterson being used in all kinds of unnatural ways when at Tennessee. Wildcat, sweeps, receiving, running back etc. he was all over the field when he was at UT.

Also, you cant suppose that just because Patterson has done some good things in the NFL that he would have done them at UT when he was a kid.

So really, why did you even post this worthless garbage?

 

[thehill98]

If you’re complaining about our running game when he was with Dooley, look at the running backs he had. How bout 2009 with Hardesty and Brown, pretty good running game then. He seemed to scheme our strengths the years he was here before.

Correct. Patterson may have been most successful in the pros, but he wasn't close to the best offensive player on those UT teams back then. I also get the impression he isn't so smart.

You obviously never saw Bo Jackson play then. You are using one example from ten years ago to try and support your thesis? That's rich.
