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.

I get that the numbers were bad, but how much talent and depth did they actually have?
AJ Johnson, Maggitt (missed a lot of time with an injury IIRC) and McCullers are the only ones I can remember by name. There was simply a lack of star talent.
Guys like Willie and Jancek, on the other hand, always had good players on the roster yet they did next to nothing with them. They played a big part in guys like Crompton and John Parker Wilson getting a shot at an NFL career.
UT will certainly be improved this year no matter who the coordinator is. 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.
