Still blows my mind how, as good of a DC he is, that he still couldn't take us to the next level. He had some bright moments (2nd half in the UF win in particular) but overall he couldn't take the next step with our D that he's been able to everywhere else.
Good lord we are cursed...

The rumor at the time was that Jancek was chasing co-eds.
The problem with Shoop was that Butch didn't let him run his system. It seemed like Butch didn't think we had the talent to be as aggressive as Shoop likes to be. But, Shoop with his hands tied behind his back is not Shoop at all. Pretty sure Butch's control freak tendencies bit us in the butt there.
Chasing them may not have been the problem. What he may have done if he caught one would be.The rumor at the time was that Jancek was chasing co-eds.

Don’t know how that explains our complete uselessness in rushing defense.The rumor at the time was that Jancek was chasing co-eds.

Fact is he did catch one. He was bringing this 19-20 year old to functions...like dinner with coaches and their wives, and all, just as though she was his wife. All this while he was still married and neither one had filed for divorce yet. All this for the players to see as well. Jones did not put up with it. Especially after more than one warning.Chasing them may not have been the problem. What he may have done if he caught one would be.
Will Shoop be yet another former coach or assistant coach to return to Knoxville and leave victorious? For the record I think Shoop was one of the better DC’s we have had in the last few years.
You know how this plays out. Hell, we've seen it with several coaches over the years. They're idiots and awful coaches while at UT. After they depart, they become the next Lombardi and beat the hell out of us. Just what unrealistic expectations of immediate results and impatience gets us.
Jones' development was awful. His recruiting never looked as good on game day as it did on NSD.Still blows my mind how, as good of a DC he is, that he still couldn't take us to the next level.

The problem was with us, not Shoop. His defenses's national rankings for pts per game allowed and yards per game allowed as a major school DC:
2011 (Vandy)- 29th pts, 18th yds
2012 (Vandy)- 15th pts, 19th yds
2013 (Vandy)- 45th pts, 23rd yds
2014 (PSU)- 7th pts, 2nd yds
2015 (PSU)- 26th pts, 14th yds
2016 (UT)- 68th pts, 95th yds
2017 (UT)- 83rd pts, 82nd yds
2018 (MSU)- 2nd pts, 1st yds
