YouTube Clip of UT highlights from today.
One of my great frustrations about Gus is when he had an offense that was good and scrapped it to go pro style.
Let’s see if Tennessee is smart enough to keep running this offense especially if it keeps working for them.

2009 offense was different than 2013 offense.

It couldn’t be clearer. Who gives a shite about UT or Gus. We are in a wasteland and have to fix it but neither Gus or UT has an influence on that

I wouldn't call Gus's offense pro style but he abandoned his 2010/2013 brand of offense and didn't seem to want to recruit the type of QB to run it, it's not like it stopped working he just stopped running it. After 13 Malzahn's name was being mentioned in NFL conversations and I think that had a lot to do with him showing " versatility" and it became his undoing.

Sup bro....
I will never understand why he did what he did. It was one of the things I did not like about Malzahn. You dont quit what are are good at and try to prove you can do anything. In my eyes, his ego got to him.
I always loved the "Everyone figured it out" argument. Our last regular season game was against the best defense in football in 2014 (when everyone supposedly figured it out) and we ran up over 600 yards on them. LOL
He did exactly what you said. He quit recruiting to it in order to be more balanced which I called "pass heavy" that rustled so many jimmies,

He didn't abandon anything. That was never his offense to begin with, and those were magic-fueled seasons that depended on perfect personnel and some generational talent.
Look at it this way: it's been 10+ years since 2010/2013. What other team is running THAT offense? Can you name even one? In those seasons we were able to basically march up and down the field while running 4-5 different plays. If it was that simple to do that, you would have seen some other coach copy Malzahn's theory and you'd see them dominating today. Malzahn is kind of trying to do it again with Plumlee, but you're seeing that it's a lot harder to replicate that type of magic than you think it is. Defenses have also adapted to that, as they always do.
Also, Heupel's offense isn't like Malzahn's at all. What a lazy-arse take. Yes, his offense goes fast. That's basically where the comparison ends. Malzahn's offense wasn't even that "fast" in 2010 or 2013, he was more than happy to burn clock and grind the other team down with the unstoppable run-game. His fastest offense came in his first season with Chris Todd - that was his ACTUAL "offense".

Sounds like to me then, you are saying Malzahn adapted to different personnel.
I kid. I think the 2013 offense went fast once it got going. I think a lot of times we lined up fast then slowed down
I will still disagree that the defenses "figured out" the offense that we ran in 13 and 14. I just think we eventually did not have the right guys to run it which proves your point on hard to find personnel.
