Looks like Heupel and company are going to swim or sink with Milton. I'm putting my money sink and I mean like the Titanic.
From what I've seen so far, and I hope I'm totally wrong I see 3 more wins and not real sure about Vandy. A 5-7 season is staring us in the face if things don't change.

From what I've seen, Milton and the playcallers are either unwilling or unable to throw vertically down the field. LSU fans feel your pain on that, and it can be mitigated, but you have to be built for it, and you also have to live with it when you run up on a very talented team that will suffocate you and beat you because of it (see: Alabama vs. LSU many times, many years).
Tennessee does not look built that way, they clearly still want to run last year's offense, but the kid's gonna have to at least try to take shots for that to be a possibility.

Mike you're exactly right, no vertical passing game it's all chuck and duck screens. Shut down the run and you stop Tennessee. That's what Florida did and everyone else knows it now.
No RPO either with a QB that's 6'5" and weighs 235 pounds. That should be a key part of the offense unless he isn't able to make the reads or afraid of getting hurt.
It's either arrogance or stupidity being unwilling to make a change when one person isn't getting it done after three games. Especially after poor showings in what should have been basically practice games in the first two.

A lot of people say coaches know so many things we don't and there's a lot of factors we aren't considering, and they may be right.
I also suspect coaches are as stubborn as many of the rest of us and get blinded to the necessity of change or afraid to try it. UT may be an example, and also in Starkville Arnett is criminally misusing Will Rogers right now. There's no excuse for having one of the SEC's all-time QBs and putting him in a system he's never run and he isn't made for, but that's exactly what they're doing.

On coaches stubbornness: don't forget, Kentucky had Tim Couch running the option for a year. LOL
