re: Vols hire Jim Chaney as OC

Chaney isn't nearly as bad as many UGA fans might want you believe, but he's not near as great as many of your fans want to believe either. I know he's been at UT before so you already are familiar but here's a few random thoughts on him while he was here:

-He's pretty darn good at drawing up a gameplan going into gameday. You saw it the last 2 games against bama, we've been one of the VERY few teams the last few years to put them on their heels and actually build a couple TD lead on them, that's mainly in part due to the great scouting and gameplan of chaney.
-With that said, he's pretty doggone bad at in-game adjusting on the fly. Again referencing the last 2 bama games...we would get a nice little lead, but when bama started adjusting and taking away what's been workign, he clams up. He then seemed content (in both games) to try to run out 2 quarters of gameclock and we lost both games.
-He runs a lot more sets than I think some of our fans realize, but he's not super imaginitive of the actual playcalls. Many times over the last 3 yeras we got stuck in a run/run/pass series which is maddening
-Whenever we would run hurryup or our 2 minute drill we seemed to be on fire the last 2 years, almost without fail. Yet other than end of half/game situations we rarely did this. Idk why.
-I know this is one extreme example, but you all saw us go 0-7 (ZERO FOR SEVEN) from the 1 yard line in jax this year. You can call it a bad series or bad game or whatever but that's inexcusable. The specifics escape me but I believe the following week against UK we had the same thing happen.
-In 2017 and 2018 Chaney had phenomenal talent on offense to work with. There were many times, especially in 2017, where he woudl make a boneheaded playcall but get bailed out by Sony or Wims. In 2016, when we had a bad OL and not as much talent, our offense was pretty damn bad. I'm not sure were your overall O talent level is going into '19 but I think that will play a big part.
