Then the next coach stands to inherit a solid foundation. Enough has been said about the O-line, and most of it will return with Tiny leading the way.
The D-line stands to lose no one, and we can all agree that this unit underperformed. But you can't deny the talent potential. Sentimore, Couch and McCullers return, along with a number of other contributers. Hood, Carson, Clark, Saulsberry, Taylor and Obrien could provide the biggest depth at DT should UT go back to a 4-3 scheme. Williams, Smith, Walls and Miller could all be good ends, but they need some depth. In fact, when you look at this, you can't fathom how Sal turned that into the worst UT D in school history.
Everyone says it starts in the trenches. If true then the right coach can turn this around quick. Putting up 40+ a game is not the solution. Getting that D working is the key, and it isn't like the next guy is going to have to build a roster from scratch. There are about 10 SEC teams that would love to have UT's talent and depth on the two lines.
