This is correct. Which goes against what many choose to believeQuote:

I believe Byrne wanted a spread offense and Croom offered to go to the spread if he was allowed another year and Byrne declined. I don't know this for a fact but it was what was the rumors around that time.Quote:

As long as I'm the coach, we will run this offense...(except for 1 game vs UF.)
Well we are right back to that now. Croom Part II.
2007 Kentucky where Rocky Felker called the plays was decent too.Quote:

The part I was agreeing with was that borges was going to be the OC in 09 had Croom stayedQuote:
