John Palermo hired as DL coach

[UTCVol]

It's our understanding that Palermo is near if not at the top Derek Dooley and Sal Sunseri's list to become Tennessee's next defensive line coach. Palermo was at MTSU last season before resigning in December to look at other opportunities. He's coached in the NFL and other college programs like Wisconsin, Notre Dame and Miami during his long coaching career.

There's a rumor that he may be named the new DL coach soon.

I know Chris Zorich is very complimentary of him saying he was a big part of his development. The wisconsin defensive line was also pretty solid with him and had 4 first team all americans. Been around a long time with both NFL and college experience.

How did he end up at Middle?

 

[Volsfan4243]

He will be great at teaching the game but he is older and I am not sure how he will relate to recruits. He has also bounced around a lot except for 8 years in Wisconsin. I prefer Marion Hobby but wouldn't be upset with a real DL coach at UT.

Let go at Middle?

he left to look for another job. wanted higher profile and when let go by redskins (when Zorn was fired) he took what he could find at the time

MTSU, man, place sucks.

 

[volswillrise12]

Resume sounds extensive and pretty interesting. If he has the same type of recruiting skills the last 3 coaches we hired than I'd say sign him up!

yes

yes

Something fishy about resigning your job before you have another one. That coupled with the bad year they had I would lean more toward he and RS parted ways.

It says his son coaches TE and special teams. Is it a package deal?

I really don't like the fact that this has MTSU stink all over it.

If these two are going to be hired I am an advocate for waiting until after signing day.

Ummm, why would you be against John Palermo being hired. The guy is a great coach. His son is not a candidate.

I highly doubt his son would be a package deal if he were to be offered the DL job. Relax.

John Palermo's resume is pretty impressive IYAM. Clearly the guy can coach.
