re: Butch may be the man at Tennessee

I believe our defensive staff is pretty bad outside of Thigpen as a recruiter, but there is no way it is worse than last year's defensive staff.

Take a look at last year's numbers. Worst D in school history by a wide, wide margin.

If Sal returned for another year, I guarantee you it would be much improved from where it was last year even with the shortage of talent compared to what it used to be.

I guarantee it wouldn't, and would probably be worse. He had the same players, minus Malik Jackson, that Wilcox had. Wilcox had our D in the top 30. Sunseri was nearly last in the nation. And the 3-4 switch excuse is bullshite, because we played more nickel than we did 3-4.

Part of being a good coach is adjusting your schemes and calls to the fit with the talent at hand. Sunseri is absolute shite.

I just think back to the way those guys did less with more than any defensive staff in the nation at that time, and I don't see how they'll be any better at UT.

Tennessee might've been the worst team in the country at keeping contain. So many big plays were shoved up our arse this year because we couldn't fricking contain for shite. If this staff can teach that, I'll be happy.
