Regardless of what people think of Briscoe's attitude, the foundation of his statement is pretty accurate. Clawson certainly did not belong in the SEC. He was in over his head. His scheme was terribly conceived. Had our offense been as productive as it was last season (2007) then, with the way our defense played this season (minus the UCLA game), we probably end up in the Cotton Bowl, at worst.

Congratulations for killing the messenger.

There are some things that are and are not done. A player, particularly a receiver, trashing his offensive coordinator is one of the things that fall into the "not to be done" category.

If Briscoe knew anywhere near as much about football as he apparently believes, two things would happen:
1) He'd be coaching somewhere already, and
2) He never would allow a player such as himself to get within a mile of the locker room. Receivers who run below-average routes and half-ass their way (at best) through blocking in the run game are a dime a dozen, and it's quite apparent that Briscoe may well have been a cancerous influence in the locker room. It's awfully tough for younger players to buy into something when a senior starter is going out of his way to tell everyone how much of an idiot the offensive coordinator is.

Orgeron would have torn this guy apart. Come to think of it, I would have too if I'd been involved and I'm the most mellow guy on the sidelines you'd ever see....I make Tony Dungy look like the Incredible Hulk.

Former offensive coordinator.

What you just stated about the locker room is pure speculation. You being a coach knows full well that players are not immune to frustration. This could simply be a case of frustration on his part. I don't know, I'm not into the whole facebook deal and have not read what he said.

Regardless of how hard you as a coach tries to protect your student athletes from the rantings of a fan base, it does eventually creep in and affect their attitudes.

His head Coach was just fired and by all accounts the poor play of the offense was what got him canned.

I don't think we can judge Clawson based on one season at UT. His offense was spectacular at Richmond and his system and the players he recruited won a National Title this year. I am not naive, I do realize that SEC defenses are bigger, stronger, and much faster. Our players had to learn that system and buy in to it. No one ever looked comfortable. We have to put some of the blame on guys like Briscoe and even Fulmer who did not allow Clawson full control over the offense. Don't get me wrong, I am glad he is gone and look forward to CLK instilling some discipline into these players.

well he only got one year, and in that time he took us to the bottom of the NCAA in offensive statistics, and 7 losses
So that's what we have to go on

It's Sunday....can we please not get into this. We all know you think all of our woes fall squarely on Clawson alone. We understand you ignore the decline of UT football over the past decade which he had nothing to do with.

The system that June Jones installed at Hawaii took Hawaii to a BCS Bowl, last season...

Clawson's system might work in the SEC. However, if you do not currently have the personnel to run the system, you must adapt until the time comes when you do (ala, Urban Meyer). Instead, Clawson completely removed UT from what worked last season (to include scrambling an OL that was the best at pass pro in the country).

Yeah, it's Clawson's fault we haven't won the SEC in over a decade....it's Clawson's fault player development has flat out sucked for over a decade....it's Clawson's fault there has been little discipline in over a decade....it's Clawson's fault we lost to freaking Maryland and Clemson in bowl games....all of our underachieving for the past decade is Dave Clawson's fault...Arkansas being a state is Dave Clawson's fault....thank you for clearing all that up.

Josh Briscoe probably feels the need to blame someone else for why he's a talentless receiver who only sniffed the field because of our fool of a coach.
