Hard to say. You never know when you change something like that. Tennessee needs to get back to what they do best and not change schemes based on some knee jerk reaction by the fans. We did that in the mid 2000's and it didn't work out well. Happened with Fulmer. A lot of people were yammering for the run and gun or spread offense. So much so that Phil hired Clawson for that purpose. We didn't have the finesse players for those schemes, so they failed contributing to the further decline of the program.
The Clawson = Sunseri comparison has some similarities.
Interesting you should say that. I told a bunch of folks back in the days that floriduh was beating us when we had better talent than they had that I thought if we had Spurrier as our coach we would have had about 4 or 5 more national titles.
Man, it was miserable losing to those guys so early in the season during that time. It always sucked that by October we were already trying to figure out which two remaining conference games Florida could lose. :lol:
