I may get hammered for my opnion here, but I think that for Tennessee to remain a big national player for top recruits, we have to stay with a pro-style offense, period.......a balanced attack with running and passing, and more creativity than we've seen lately, a lot more..........

I've been a big supporter of some spread coaches this year, but after seeing all this negativity with recruits, we cannot afford to hire a spread coach at this time, it's too radical of a change, I believe.......

Therefore, it's NFL coaches first, Butch Davis second, and Kiffin third.........

If we get none of the above, we're screwed.....

Kiffin runs a pro style offense

But I'm with you.. I'm fed up with the spread

yes, he was OC at USC, and coached Oakland in the NFL....both of which runs the pro sytle......I think that's one of the biggest selling points for UT getting national recruits, the chance to play in an NFL pro-style offense.....

tha'st probably why Carr left, bc/ he left a depleted program like Fulmer.........heck, we don't even have a good punter or field goal kicker, I think Fulmer got burned out after 2001, and he has completely lost his standard.....happy about beating Vandy and Mississippi St?? that's nutz.......I'ts going to take MAJOR recruiting for us to get back up to the top..........
:crazy:

I say run the single wing. Heck, Meyer does it and they're three games away from another title.

And if that's too new-fangled, I know a guy that can teach the Notre Dame Box real well.

I don't want the spread by any means. Kiffin will be able to get players in here because of the USC and NFL experience. If Kiffin and Kelly are going after the same recruit, Lane wins every time.

Our program is not depleted. We have talent. We just don't have the coaching. By the way, UT has a great punter he just has a drinking problem.

I wouldn't argue that but on the other hand you can't deny who the better coach is.

im sure the answer is buried in the Lane Kiffen novel/thread, but how similar is USC's offense to ours? ive only watched 1 USC game(vs Texas). could we expect an offense that our SEC opponents have to actually plan foror are we hoping that Kiffen can do a better job of running it?

Have to agree, we've got one of the best punters in the country, hands down. He's just been hitting the backwoods shiney with Granny Holtz.

It does not matter what offensive 'system' you run if you do not have good players and execute the plays. Pro-style offenses win a lot of games for some of the best college football teams in the country.

Just curious...how could you possibly know who the better coach is?? Kiffin was under the stranglehold of Davis who by all estimations is crazier than a s@%# house rat. Kiffin produced big time when he was in charge of the offense at SC, but has yet to be given a real chance to "coach" a team. You say your point with such conviction...do you own the biggest crystal ball ever, or are you that arrogant?

Has it occurred to you why the pros run "pro style" offenses?

has it occurred to you that Leach doesn't run that? He's balls to the wall man. We need someone like him. Someone that can put 50 points on the board per game.




























Until they face off against a defensive mastermind.

HINT: It has more to do with the QB getting hit than its effectiveness. Same reason a left tackle is paid more than a right tackle.

Teams like Miami and Kansas City are realizing that the run-first spread (what we would call the Wild-insertnameofschoolorplayerhere formation) is incredibly effective...as long as you don't have your AIG bailout money, slow as molasses QB back there scampering about getting his teeth knocked into his esophagus.

The Pats have figured out that the passing spread works pretty well and it's starting to look more like the Air Raid system every time I look at the highlights. Brady/Cassel in the gun a majority of the time, lots of draws and a hefty screen game. Lightning fast reads and ball delivery. Small, shifty slot receiver who adjusts his route depending on the defense...who played college ball under...Mike Leach...from Texas...Tech.

In all truth, it could be argued that the West Coast Offense isn't really what would be considered a typical "pro style" offense if you take into account the fact that it was a late 80s/early 90s creation of Walsh that introduced new passing trees and concepts as well as an entirely different way of employing and looking at the forward pass. Before the WCO, it was a lot of posts, corners, and go routes, all I-formation, TE sets....

You know, back when you had to "establish the run"?
