Sunseri vs Wilcox

It's not nice, but I'm taking perverse pleasure in watching him get prison-raped by Oregon. His exciting defense has already given up 35 points with 8 minutes left in the first half.

Washington is just awful, especially defensively.

Actually, the offense gave up a pick six, but what's the difference? He has no special sauce.

They keep cutting to him and his confused looks on the sidelines after they get scored on or torched for a long one. I don't miss that look one bit.

Oregon's offense gives alot of DC that look.

Oregon makes lots of defenses look bad, but no one should be arguing Wilcox over Sal. Plus Wilcox is a better fit on the West coast anyway.

Do you still think that Sunseri is the right coach on defense for the Vols? He had two weeks to coach our players up, and they still gave up 41 to a very average offense or do you still want to make excuses for him?

With your 100th post proclaiming the same, exact thing, you continue to reject the notion that talent is not everything. Having the knowledge to execute said action is vitally important. After parlaying having whetted the appetite of being exposed to knowledge, you must then actually learn the knowledge.

Right now, our defense is in the process of learning it.

Yet here you are continually sidestepping that issue of the new scheme. I mean, it's not like this is a new issue. This (the defensive growing pains) was proclaimed rather vehemently before the season started. To be angry to the point of calling Sunseri a bust of a coach is either A) Ignorance or B) Stupidity.

Pick your poison.

I am calling you out, brother, I would love to hear your argument supporting Sunseri still after the Mississippi State game. Are you there?

Typical. I say you're devoid of logic because you say the transition to a different defense doesn't matter, so, therefore, I think Sunseri is the savior of Tennessee football.

Reading comprehension: it's a valuable asset when reading. Please learn to use it.

Wilcox was a lot better than people gave him credit for. We had no offensive consistency whatsoever last year and the opponent's starting field position was always good. Our secondary is slow and Wilcox was able to somewhat cover that up to a degree.

A lot of people throw Wilcox under the bus BUT I think his choices were limited.

Again, buddy you are the one who has difficulty with reading comprehension, as anyone with a fifth grade education can easily understand that you have missed my entire point over, and over, and over again.

But hey you are the self proclaimed expert. So why don't you stop the attacks on me, and start trying to defend your position on Sunseri? Oh, I know because each time the Vols take the field against a SEC team they give up 35 five points, and over 500 hundred yards on defense. There is more than just a transition going on, it's plain and simple to most that have a basic understanding of the game from playing it at a high school level. Sunseri can't teach his schemes to the Vols. This is why he has never been a DC at a high level before, he is in over his head. But, you keep insisting that the transition is the problem. Well, obviously, your opinion is in the minority of most who have a basic understanding of how to play football.

So why don't you stop the attacks on me, and go make a donation to the UTAD to buyout Dooley and Sunseri and then the Vols can get back to their wining ways.

Sunseri vs. Wilcox = UT 'fans' hate them both. Wilcox only got good 'after' he left. Go back and read thoughts of fans towards him while here.

Let me start by saying I am not a negaVol or a Dooley supporter. I am a Vol and have been since I first caught the bug in 1977 when I was seven years old. I want the Vols to succeed and win each Saturday.

Five games into this season with eight returning starters on defense, and a two new junior college starters. I think it is safe to say that the UT defense has been a complete failure to this point. This has the potential to be the worse defense ever at Tennessee.

I recall how much better the Vols were last year at this point under Wilcox. The Vols weren't dominating on defense last season but they were very respectable. If Wilcox is still at UT would the defense be any better this season? I think so. The scheme last season seemed to be very solid with the Vols giving up a lot less big plays.

This season under Sunseri, the Vols seem to always be out of position, and missing tackles with a few exceptions. Where would the Vols be on defense if Wilcox has stayed at UT?

44 points is enough to win a lot of games in the SEC. No matter who the opponent there is no excuse for the way the Vols have played on defense so far under Sunseri.

If Wilcox had stayed the Vols would have most likely beaten UGA Saturday, and maybe even UF a few weeks ago. Sunseri has been a huge disappointment, and the Vols have taken a few steps in the wrong direction under his leadership on defense.

If Dooley is to survive this season, and return for the next, then Sunseri must improve the defense dramatically or be shown the door.

Just my two cents.

let me throw in my 2 cents....if the fans and media had not been calling for Dooley to be ousted last year....Wilcox and Otha Peters and who knows else would probably still be here....it is the FANS that caused Wilcox to leave.......watch what you wish for...you might just get it.....

I know this guy and Lexvol appreciated what he did while he was here.

With Wilcox, Volnation would be thinking about the rematch with Bama in Atlanta, ATT.

Make no mistake, Dooley has to answer Monday for the loss of his entire staff in the offseason.

Bring on Jon Gruden!

You are are making generalizations which aren't inclusive of all Tennessee Fans. I appreciated the work that Wilcox did while at UT. He did much more than Sunseri with much, much less talent. I was really sad to see him take a lesser job at Washington, but it's his life. So please don't group all fans into the Wilcox hater category, just because of the comments of a few malcontents on this board who will never be happy.

Regarding Sunseri, it is my claim that he can't teach the defense to the players adequately because he lacks the knowledge, skills, and abilities to do so. While the Vols don't have the talent of Bama, there is enough talent and depth on this defense to be a middle of the road defense in the SEC, but Sunseri and his supporters keep making excuses that it will take at least a year to adapt.

So what happens in a year? Is it PFM (pure freaking magic) for Sunseri in that the Vols just suddenly pick up his schemes through osmosis? Because they don't seem to be getting anything from him.

If Sunseri were on the right track on defense, the Vols would be showing signs of improvement every week, and this is simply not the case. The players have lost all confidence in him and his abilities, and has a result they seem more confused and disoriented than ever. Then every time Sunseri is shown on TV after a big play is given up, he looks like he just got caught with his hand in the cookie jar.

Sunseri was hired by Dooley to install a multiple system on defense, not just a 3-4, The bottom line is clear whatever they run on Saturdays isn't working at all, and this defense statistically will go down in history as the worst ever at UT. All that from a defense with eight returning starters that finished sixth in the SEC and 30th in the nation last season.

In 2010 the UT defense was implementing a new system installed by Wilcox, and it took some time to show improvement, but they did and there was far less talent and depth on that team than the 2012 team.

Go Vols,

Gunner

About 80% of volnation was calling for Wilcox head while he was here.

Good job guys.

Or maybe Wilcox, knew Dooley was in over his head, in the SEC, and he saw this as a his chance to get closer to home before Dooley and his entire staff were let go after another poor season.
