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.

Fair point.

I can't really defend Sal for not adjusting the scheme to his players. That alone shows his ineptitude in calling the defense.

But to be fair to him, they did make some key stops throughout the season that put UT's offense in position to win games multiple times. Forced 3 turnovers in the first half and some 3rd down stops in the 4th of the UGA game, an INT in the 4th against USCe, etc. That probably gets overlooked because of all the yards they gave up and the fact that the offense couldn't capitalize.
