I agree. Rich Rodriguez couldn't make it work in Michigan his first year either. I think another year or two and the players would have ran it better because they understood the offense. Not to mention recruiting the right players for the system would make a world of difference. Michigan might be rolling shortly with Tate Forcier or Devin Gardner. I hate Michigan so I hope they fail but Michigan will look so much better with the right quarterbacks coming in for the system. Too bad Clawson couldn't have started out with Amanti Edwards at Tennessee. It is what it is though. Sucks it didn't work out but I am happy with the new staff. Had it not failed so miserably we wouldn't have the staff we do so in the end I'm happy. I hate thinking about last season... miserable. Will be forgotten if Tennessee comes out and wins 9 games this year. I think it's achievable.
What does Armanti Edwards know about running the Clawfense?
All I ever saw was that he said the offense never bought into his plan.
This give me hope for the future. If that is true most of the disaster of last year was due to the offense being confused and demoralized.
Unfortunately this only explains part of the pitiful QB play.
I think the reason it didnt work is because he was expecting Gerald Jones to be able to run the offence. And he didnt have a good enought arm to do it so he had to settle with crompdaddy. Plus they didnt have enough speed to get outside of the perimeter. Basically he didnt have the players to run his offence and he didnt try to tweak his system to fix it.JMO
Bad quarterback play and cream puff linemen will make any scheme look bad. Throw in mediocre receivers and you really have a problem.
Garnering the 115th spot in D1 offense cannot be blamed on personnel., at least when its Tennessee. This was all Clawson, he was pathetic. an earlier post attributed his inability to mold his offense to his people. This was an understatement.

Maybe, but Clawson has a head coaching job right now and Fulmer doesn't.
