I think the staff has comvinced itself that unless we have a qb who can run for 100 on any given Saturday, a pass oriented spread/true air raid won't work in the SEC.
Not sure if I agree I just think we need better execution and development.

We aren't running an air raid. We don't even attempt a lot of the throws you see in that system.
Also, it sucks but even if we fire Spav and bring in the best OC in the business, we'd still going to have major offensive problems next year. I don't know whether it's talent or coaching or both, but our offensive line is the worst I've seen since our 2008 offensive line (which was probably one of the worst lines in the NCAA over the last 15 years). We aren't fixing that in a single offseason and even a great play caller can only do so much with a horrific OL.
Credit to Sumlin. He saw the OL problem last year and tried to bring in Christensen to fix it before it got too bad, but that has not worked at all. In fact, forcing a bad OL to learn a new scheme has made things decidedly worse.
