Please... No more SPREAD coaches.

This is one of the dumbest threads I've seen here in recent memory, which really says a lot.

I gotta say....i don't care what kind of Offense the new coach is gonna decide to run. As long as the coach is a winner and knows what he's doing. Obviously, if he's been solid enuf in his career to get a Vols offer, then I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that the new coach will have "his system" down pretty well and able to execute. If we go for an "up and comer", then maybe not so much (see Butch Jones/Derek Dooley). We get a big name that's established already, then they came bring whatever system they'd like. We need to focus on the right coach. The coach will focus on the system.

So true.

You know Mullen runs a spread right? Kinda contradicts what your post is about..Fuente runs a spread as well. I would like a pro style offense but mixed with some spread. Similar to what Ala runs. A powerful and physical run game mixed with a QB who can take off when he needs to but can kill you with his arm. Very similar to what Clemson had with Watson and what Oklahoma has with Mayfield. They both were so hard to stop. They can score in 1 play or go 80 yards in 4-5 mins..Nightmares for DC's.

What do the 6 teams that have beaten Alabama the last 5 years have in common? They run the spread and have exceptional QB play.

Now, what G5 coaches have a history of running these offenses and recruiting/coaching QBs? Be satisfied with Frost or Norvell, because besides Campbell or Mullen, that's what you are likely getting.

Been watching old Oregon games... recent TCU and Iowa State games... they all have the same themes / scenarios playing out.

Spread offenses... quick strikes... quick three and outs... season ending injuries to key players.

Iowa State has pulled some big upsets. However, they also lose to teams they shouldn't because they are so thin. They are on their third quarterback. About the time he gets in a groove, he will get hurt. They have had games where the starting MLB had to take snaps at QB.

TCU lost to a depleted Iowa State team.

Other than Tennessee and Mississippi St (before Dan Mullen,) Oregon got beat by every SEC team they played.

The Vols need a tactician... not a system coach. Being tactical, in the SEC, requires an offensive style that takes into account the health of the team over the course of a physical conference season. That means... POSSESSING THE BALL... and reducing the number of snaps played.

Aggressive offense... yes. No-huddle, speed spread, sideways BS... no more.

So, please... no Campbell, no Kelly, no Patterson.

Mullen - yes. Gruden - Yes. Fuente - Yes. Cutcliffe - yes.

See these thing in bold? Your argument completely fails because of these.

Wrong

No

you must not like winners

Funny... Fulmer lost his job on part because fans and boosters wanted him to run the spread option. I remember him saying, "We have those plays in the play book, and when we think they will work, we will run them"

I thought Clawson was brought in to run the SPREAD?

That's what the single wing crowd said about the I. Now go run those kids off your lawn...

I am a fan of the style of Spead Urban Meyer runs. It utilizes quite a bit of power schemes within that spread look to go along with the zone read stuff. Give me that style all day long. Keep the hurry up and punt crap away
