Thats kind of my point, if Autry is a competitor, then he has to believe that the NFL will find him anywhere he goes, because LT has proved nothing to my current knowledge as far as producing NFL D-Linemen. But regardless, I hope he makes the correct decision in the end, for his college and post-college career, and I hope that it is UT. It would be bad to see all of these potential 1st rounder JUCO guys got to UT and Dooley be canned next year or this offseason. Go Vols.

seriously?

Another member of Nick Saban's extended coaching family rejoined the new Alabama head coach's inaugural Crimson Tide coaching staff in January, 2007. This is Thompson's second stint at Alabama, as he previously served as the Crimson Tide's defensive line coach in 1999-2000 as the Crimson Tide won the 1999 SEC Championship and earned a BCS Bowl berth (2000 Orange Bowl).

Thompson spent the last three years as defensive coordinator at Central Florida. In 2005, Thompson's defense produced a pair of All-Conference USA First-Team selections in defensive end Paul Carrington and cornerback Joe Burnett. The Golden Knights were also the 2005 Conference USA Eastern Division champions. The Georgia native developed one of the nation's youngest defenses in 2004 that battled constant injuries into a respectable unit by the end of the season. UCF's defensive depth chart consisted for the most part of either freshmen or sophomores. The Golden Knights held their opposition to 21 points or less in three of the final four games of the season.

Before working at Central Florida, Thompson spent two seasons at LSU serving as the assistant head coach in charge of recruiting and the tight ends coach for the Tigers during their national championship season in 2003. Thompson began his tenure at LSU in 2002 as the defensive line coach. In his first year with the Tigers, Thompson coached defensive tackle Chad Lavalais to first team All-SEC honors as the Tigers' front four racked up 22 sacks.

Thompson coached for four seasons on head coach George O'Leary's staff at Georgia Tech. In 2001, Thompson coached a defensive line that recorded 21 sacks for the Yellow Jackets, including 10 by All-America defensive end Greg Gathers.

Prior to his first two-year stint at Alabama, Thompson was a part of the Georgia Tech staff for 11 years. During his 11-year stay with Georgia Tech, Thompson was defensive line coach in 1998; defensive ends coach in 1996 and 1997 and tight ends coach in 1995. Thompson served as the Georgia Tech's recruiting coordinator from 1995-98 and then again in 2001. Prior to serving as an on-field coach for the Yellow Jackets, Thompson held the position of Director of Football Operations at Georgia Tech from 1992-94.

Thompson got his start in coaching in 1988, serving as a graduate assistant for two years at Georgia Tech, followed by two more years as a volunteer assistant in 1990 and 1991. Thompson coached the defensive ends, including former All-American and All-Pro Marco Coleman. Georgia Tech won the national championship in 1990.

As a player, Thompson was a four-year letterman at The Citadel, where he earned his bachelor's degree in education and mathematics in 1987. A native of Riverdale, Ga., Thompson is married to the former Stacy Cambron of Henderson, Ky., and the couple has three daughters - Allie, Christina and Lane.

Anyone who couldn't see the vast improvement over the course of this season in D-Line play wasn't watching Tenn games. The only disappointment was J Smith, but there is obviously only so much a coach can do. A player has to make plays.

The continuous improvement of Malik and Mo was really exciting to watch.
