When Phil Fulmer hired Dave Clawson after Cutclift left again he intended to change the offensive scheme into a spread offense. This is why he hired Clawson. The problem was the offensive didn't have the players to run that type of scheme. It was more of a long term hire.
Same with Dooley hiring Sunseri - it was a long term hire even though the change in defensive scheme was risky for the same reason.
We'll never know how good the spread offense would have worked with Clawson running it with the right players and we will never know how good the 3-4 defense would be with Sunseri running it with the right players.
I guess there is just not enough patience these days anymore.
