IF Wilcox is the New DC like rumored...

[T-TownVol]

Well, since you stuck your foot in your mouth, I'll offer you the chance to pull it out before it becomes permanent....

Notice where Boise State is on that list and get back with me.

Only three teams in the SEC with a better D last year and with FAR less talent to work with.
I say the young man can coach some D.

 

[jobiwan]

Question is can he recruit? It will probably be hard to judge based on his being at Boise St.

He won't have to recruit immediately. He'll have time to get adjusted to the SEC before the big rush towards NSD '11.

He's 33 and was DC at Boise State, most kids know them and he should be able to relate being that young. I think he will be able to recruit, but DC has to be more about Xs and Os IMO.

He's not a big name, remember this is UT and we expect to hire anyone we desire.

 

[Fijivol72]

uh I had the wrong guy stand corrected now want to know if he is ready for the bigtime? His competition was not exactly Fl., Alabama, LSU, or Georgia, just a lot of unproven assistants and a head coach that may have deer in the headlights looks for our first Fl. game. But DD has done a great job on this recruiting class regardless of what happens tomorrow.

I think we will show up.

No, no, you misinterpreted my post. I was making fun of the people who obviously can't use Google and figure out people's resumes, before they post some inaccurate information and let their ignorance fumigate the room.

 

[UTN '74]

Isn't he a Scientologist?

Is he even an Idahoan?:crazy:

no, I got what you meant, I am just adding that I believe that CDD got who he wanted even though it is not a "big name"

We are on the same wavelength, just not on the same wave.

 

[T-TownVol]

I would never snake a man's wave.

Oregon had a much better offense than half the teams on that list.

I didn't even notice the other foot in the guys mouth. He must have had his head turned. Well done Lex.

 

[golfballs]

Dooley wanted him, even though Dooley's La Tech team hung 35 on his defense? Dooley must think a lot of his offense.

 

[Escape Goat]

Kinda odd that recruits are too. Wonder what gives?

:birgits_giggle: Man I hope this is true, would be a great hire. Tomorrow has the potential to be really special for Tenn, and its future.

Tennessee to hire Boise State's Wilcox | KBOI CBS 2 - News, Weather and Sports Boise, Idaho | College

Looking like it is more than just a little rumor!

nice find! thanks for posting this

 

[T-TownVol]

CDD can tell him where the weak spots are in his D. CDD scored very well on him and most others did not. I think that speaks well that both men are on the same sideline now.

 

[Outdors21]

Actually...it was really only 21. 1 TD was an INT return and another was with 2 minutes left with the game put away.

Just saying...

 

[BigPapaVol]

What gives? Well, we still have a great class and NO defensive coordinator. I guess "no" names work as well as "big" names.

Run me through our defensive greatness. We missed on our safeties and linebackers. All of them. We have one DT, assuming he doesn't leave and we've picked up some replacements of apparently less quality. The name matters.

 

[volstexans]

It was brought up, they might have played better offenses than we did last year.

Oh, and with less talent. And they finished 14th nationally in total defense and scoring defense. UT finished 22nd and 38th.

Slight risk, but CDD knows this hire is potentially his job.

Maybe that's why so many names have been leaked.

CDD and Hammy lookin for one that perks some recruits ears.

Stay tuned, there's still 3+ hours till NSD.

 

[Escape Goat]

Just when I start believing DD may be ok with his non winning record he goes and hires a guy who's team gives up about 30 pts a game. My goodness BS just outscored everyone they didn't hold anybody on D. Damn it

You freaking DOLT !!!! lol::tease2:

 

[FBInc]

4-3 with some 4-2-5.

Ran a 3-2-6 against TCU and shut them down in the bowl game. :dance2::good!:k:

lol@ letting their ignorance fumigate the room.


I'm extremely excited by this hire. I thought it was going to be Sunseri.
