Only one “System”

Are there any offensive coaches out there who are capable of running more than one system? It would be nice to see a coach that is creative enough to change things based on his personnel. These days it seems that most coaches, including CJH, only have one system they are capable of running and unless they have the ‘perfect’ players to run it, they are doomed. Everyone keeps making excuses for Heupel that he doesn’t have the right QB, WRs or OL, or whatever. Are coaches capable of adapting and changing their scheme or is at all or nothing, their system or bust? Just curious, are there any coaches out there who have a wide ‘range’ and can run / change to the offensive scheme that is best for their players. Based on what I have seen the last two years, it seems like Heupel is saying “I don’t have the right talent to run my system, therefore I give up and I’m going to reduce my scheme to the same 4-5 plays”. Is creativity a lost art?

How about calling more than the same 8-10 plays or putting someone in motion?

If you think Tennessee’s offense runs only 4 or 5 plays then idk what to tell you. Heupel’s offense was completely different at Missouri than it has been here. Here at Tennessee, his offense has drastically changed since he got here. What nonsense are you on about?

Thread reminds me of @Hairy Vols Heupel and Gruden co-coaching thread

Coaching Idea to SAVE Tennessee Football

Here's why adding Jon Gruden as a co-head coach alongside Josh Heupel could be a groundbreaking move for the Tennessee Vols.. let me know what you guys think…. 1. Combining Elite Experience with Innovation Gruden’s NFL Pedigree: Jon Gruden is a Super Bowl-winning coach with decades of NFL...

Heupel has changed his system over the course of his career. I would say he’s capabale of it again

Truly a peak moment in my Vol Nation history. I can’t wait to repost a similar post two years from now to troll some more. 😂

I used an example of a dumb football coach. If you want me to name hundreds of coaches, I’m sorry but I’m not going to do that.

Many coaches wouldn’t have made it in to college without an athletic scholarship, and football coaches specifically likely suffered years of head trauma. I love sports as much as anyone, but let’s not act like it takes a brilliant mind to be a coach.

There is a required GPA to get into college. That being said, every NFL head coach is probably much smarter than you

Most football coaches are not particularly intelligent, but they are very stubborn and have big egos. Heupel doesn’t strike me as an unintelligent egotist, but he does strike me as stubborn about some things, especially with clock management at the end of halves and games.

AND stubborn about not making changes to his staff... That will be his undoing.

Penny Hardaway can barely read and has made over 100 mil in his life. He gets paid millions to coach. From an intelligence standpoint, there are far more Penny Hardaways in the coaching profession than Mike Leaches.

Mike Leach, I miss him so much. I still can't understand how a Football Coach at a Major University can't get the treatment he needs to cure Pneumonia.......

You don’t have to be smart to attain the minimum high school GPA to qualify for college as an athlete, and only a dumb person would think you do.

Nick Sirianni is a rather successful NFL head coach and an absolute meathead. He is probably smarter than you, but I wouldn’t say that about most people.

Some people are stubborn about treatment and resting and whatnot. Rickey Henderson just died from it and was probably worth millions.

And also that can be a real bïtch if you’re older or immunocompromised.

He may have adjusted what he calls when but not really the playbook. The last 2 years have been so basic

What happened to 2022’s playbook? I know we need a better offensive line and receivers but we don’t even try Hooker/Hyatt like plays
Click to expand...
The playbook has to evolve as the defense evolves. The same route combinations that got Hyatt wide open still exist, but so does coverages that can stop it. It's even easier to stop when u don't have Hyatt running around out there. If teams are starting the game with it, you have to go to your counters. The counter is usually "take what the defense gives you", which is far less explosive plays. This path takes 9-10 play drives and you have to be flawless in the redzone. Our biggest weakness on offense was the redzone. I don't think the offense is broken. I think u simply saw what this offense looks like when u have the best WR in the country. We need Matthews to reach his full potential for our offense to get to the 2022 level.

If you think we ran the same systems in 2022 and 2024 idk what to tell you. There's a lot of the same concepts but the offensive scheme was heavily altered this year to mitigate some of the roster deficiencies.

Each year, about 1.5 million adults in the United States are diagnosed with pneumonia. Around 1 million of those people are admitted to the hospital, and another 50,000 die from pneumonia or its complications. It’s a pretty dangerous disease.
