The only issue is we do not run a traditional tampa 2. This year we run a lot more man coverages than the typical tampa 2. If anything the only part of our defense that looks tampa 2 is the way the D-line plays.
On paper, Marinelli should be a downgrade from Kiffin. Not nearly as much pedigree and experience leading men into battle.
Losing Hatcher and Ware and Lee should have hurt much more.
