I think the jury is still out on Coach Wilcox. The SEC is a tough conference to prepare defensively for week end and week out.
The first two seasons are learning experiences and what he brings to the table is in some cases, non traditional defenses. Adjustments made and players taught the system.
He has been able to do it with less talent at Boise State and once he recruits his needs for the defense he runs it will provide the answer. The Defense Line killed us this year but look at what he had to work with and add an injury or two.
He should provide based on what I have seen in the past, defensive schemes that will pressure the QB and sacks. I think he will eventually throw out some defensive schemes that are going to give players and coaches a fit because of his creativity. He will have to stay one step ahead of them because the SEC is the best and they are quick learners.
He is comfortable here and should not wonder off the beaten path but who knows when it comes to coaching changes. He knows that this is a good stepping off point to better things if he sees it through versus going backwards to coach with someone he has been with before.
Kinda like been there done that got the T-shirt for it.
