Exactly, a lot of these folks were saying that Sunseri was an upgrade. Wilcox is one of the brightest young coaches in the game, and out brilliant head coach ran him off.
Maybe he did, and maybe he didn't. I heard from a Washington alum that they wanted Wilcox really bad and offered him more money. Dooley and/or Hart refused to bid to get him back. Dooley well have not wanted to keep him, but then again, how do you outbid someone for an assistant coach after going 5-7?

Word is now saying Gruden isn't interested in college, only pro. So what little enthusiasm I have left for Vol football these days is on life support. I'm not sure who might be considered next in line, but in my opinion it will have to be a big name otherwise the recruiting class will be dismal and we'll head right back down the path we've been on. I see only one answer now: See Vinnie...he can still be your coach. Of the Cowboys. I say bring in Charlie Strong if a change happens. Our problems are almost entirely on on the D. Surely a defensive guru like Strong can right the ship and at least be...below average to average looks really good right now. My next suggestion will be less popular, but on the offensive side, retain much of the staff. At a min, Graham but I would like to see the OLine coach back and even Chaney. On the D side, retain only the DL coach. I do think continuty is important. As little as I think of Suneri, that is a big part of the problem this year IMO.

Can't do it. Should be an interesting three games coming up, particularly Vandy. Their offense has looked pretty pitiful until today. But oh, it's just Kentucky. At least our D is better...oh wait! No it isn't.

is awesome. He basically took these guys, with less experience, and turned them into 28th best defense in the land last year.
If nothing else happens, Sunseri needs to be gone. Now
Agree. Although as murfvol mentioned the other day, last year teams didn't need to score as much. But that doesn't even come close to explaining it. Agree that regardless, Sunseri has to go, and take probably both DB coaches with him. Retain at least the DL coach for continuty and get an established DC in. Continuity or no, it could not...possibly...get worse.

Well, as shizzlety as this season is, you can't say the games aren't entertaining. Something like 1400 yards of offense and 103 points and it isn't decided until the final play. It's like the old AFL, I guess....

It may be the worst in the history of college football. You have to practice to get this bad. I would expect you could find 11 guys on the street before the game and get better D play than this.
Truthfully, it's not even the worst in the country this year. But whatever....it's a giant steaming pile of shizzle, and a complete embarassment
