With all of the negative stuff flying around here, I just wanted to talk a little football. I read where Stocker said the cocept is the same as last year but the terminology is different. I for one think Coach Chaney is going to be great andthink he will make which ever QB they go with successful. What do you all think?

Do you not have anything positive to say? Our coach has had 2 practices with his new team and all you have to preach is gloom and doom. Give the guy a chance. I had much rather have him than the last scum bag that was here.

Who was calling plays the most last year, Chaney or Kiffin? I thought maybe Chaney started off and then Kiffin assumed more of a role as the year went on. Or was it the other way around?

I like your thinking.. I also think we are gonna be a good team and surprise a lot of people, maybe winning 8-9 games. I think N.Stephens is gonna be our MVP He is a great QB when he is on.. GO VOLS!!!!:pepper:

Kiffin called all the plays.

Hey, man, don't waste your time with the "cutesy" and pointless comments like that one. He obviously isn't going to contribute anything constructive to the discussion.

As for your original question, I don't know, but I think that keeping Chaney here provides some consistency for the offense. This makes it better because there isn't so much of a wholesale transition to a completely new offense. With Kiffin gone (cursed be his name), Chaney might actually have a full hold on the offensive controls.

With basically the same offense in place (minus some terminology changes, as you point out), it seems that this would favor Stephens even more coming out of the gate since he played in the system last season.

Can't wait to see how it turns out. Go Vols!

then I'm definitely excited to see how the O scheme changes this year......I thought we were a little predictable in the play calling last year

I'm sorry but I would respectfully disagree. Kiffin (as much as it pains me to say) was an excellent play caller. He kept most teams off balance with the exception of Va Tech and maybe Ole Miss.

I thought his schemes kept people off balance, but sometimes I felt like his play calling became predictable during the course of a game. I just felt like he had too much of an "I'm gonna run this play until it works" mentality.

I think that can work with superior personnel, but we didn't have that last year. That said, he (or Chaney) worked miracles with Crompton and the run blocking of a weak O-line, so he definitely deserved some praise.

It definitely seemed like he would try that at times with regarding running the play til it works. I think most of the time though he did a fairly good job with making the right calls.

I think Chaney will be an outstanding play caller since it will be his system and these guys have been around it. The only thing I'm worried about is the O-line.

The play calling was not that great last year. We scored less than 20 3 times last year, including against UCLA. Granted Florida and Alabama had great defenses, but we only scored 13 and 10, respectively in those games. We also only scored 22 against Auburn, who had a mediocre, at best, defense.

I thought Kiffin did a good job of scripting the first couple of drives, but was not exceptional after that, and pretty poor at making changes after halftime.

I think that was a lot more attributable to those games being early on in September before we had developed any semblance of a passing game. Even against Alabama, we moved the ball OK.

i enjoyed the aggressiveness last year, hopefully Chaney will continue in that direction. it will be interesting to see what with the O-Line and our QB situation whether we lean pass or run

I thought Kiffin's play calling was mediocre at best. His offense was a great offense but I thought playcalling was his weakness

The offense started working when the coaches started limiting the number of reads JC had to make.

I am as anti-Kiffin and orgeron as anyone on here, but as far as the coaching that they did on the field and the play calling I thought they did a fine job. But here is the hole in x's philosophy, you can break a great football team down anyway you want to, it doesn't matter how you view a team, if you want CONSISTENTLY great football teams you have to build the program on a foundation of discipline. Kiffin didn't have that and our new staff does, that is why I am so confident in what we have here. You can build a program a million different ways but if discipline is not the foundation it is going to fall.

Houston Nutt and Steve Spurrier have a PhD in that department.

I thought that the playcalling was good for the most part, but some of the things that we did just kind of baffled me.

Like, in the UCLA game, when we had the ball near the goal line, and Kiffin called 4 dive plays in a row to the left side(can't remember whether the TE on that set of plays lined up on the left or right side) of the line, when there was an obvious opening if we ran a toss play to the right.

There was nobody there. Nobody. Hardesty would have been able to walk into the endzone. We would have won, and would have been playing Northwestern in the Outback Bowl, instead of having to play a superior Virginia Tech team in the Peach Bowl(I still call it the Peach Bowl, dammit).

Do you think Chaney will be on the sideline or in the box? Where was he last yr?
And, no, I didn't get to see any of the games last yr!
