Dear Tennessee Fan:

Thank you for keeping in touch over the summer.  We do appreciate your correspondence concerning the incredibly complicated and impossible to execute offense (or, as you so cleverly named it "Clawfense") that Dave Clawson brought to you as your offensive coordinator.  We do appreciate your warnings that a team of nuclear physicists was required to execute the playbook.

At this point, the Falcon Nation would like to suggest to you that perhaps you might have gotten this wrong.  We have smart players, though none of them are nuclear physicists (yet).  And you know what, they seemed to adapt pretty well to the Clawfense.  We had almost 400 yards in total offense a game, a 10% (rough) increase in yardage over last year, and had a receiver up for the Biletnikoff Award last year. 

We'd also like to suggest that you might have had some problems with your program that weren't Dave Clawson.  Now, we're too adult to mention these wholesome young ladies....though we did think that Orange Pride was part of the Southern California LGBT community. 

But, perhaps, just perhaps, you had a coach on his way out and a team that quit on the coach, and then that coach--who wants to coach again, found a convenient scapegoat in his offensive coordinator.

You know, seems like Coach Clawson knows how to put together a winning football team.  I wouldn't trade him for the a-hole you have now, that's for sure.

With Love
