But to be convinced just because of the SUCCESS he's had would kinda fly in the face of your disappointment in the CDD hire because of the LACK of SUCCESS he's had.

Never said anything about being disappointed in CDD's hire. He hasn't done anything to impress or disappoint any realistic person nor has this guy from Boise. Regardless of how strong the koolaid is the fact of the matter is the talent and depth at UT is at its lowest level since the mid 80s. Little judgement on CDD can even begin until the 2012 season other than recruiting and he did a pretty good job hanging on to this class the past 2 weeks.

That's realistic. My apologies for mistaking some of your comments.

I'd take Wendi Nix anyday over Erin Andrews. The skinny, bowed legs just don't do anything for me. She looks very malnourished. Oh.. And we did get a DC. Almost forgot.

Reports are that Wilcox was interviewed on Monday, hired on Tuesday.

So the report that the DC needed to ok him, and we didn't have one yet, were most likely true.

I don't understand why the DC doesn't have to OK your DB coach or your LB coach, but he has to OK your DL coach. The answer I suppose is:

DB - Dooley wanted him and didn't care what the DC thought
LB - You tend to retain guys and then fire after a hire if the DC is a no-go
DL - Smith wasn't going to be out of a job if he didn't move on the hire and apparently he wasn't worried about the effect on recruiting.

We just hired a Defensive Coordinator that doesn't even have a wikipedia entry.

I think after the last 8 coaches we "hired," CDD and Hammy wanted a guy that would not be leaked as a hire on wikipedia.

Yea me too... I also am a big fan of Rachel Nichols, even if she is an NFL reporter. Back to the topic, I like the Wilcox "alleged" hire. I still want to see it on utsports to confirm it's true.

GoVolsXtra has a story on Wilcox, as well. And yeah, I dig Rachel Nichols too.

Looking at the coaches page, Joseph raises that question in my mind also.

Thompson is such a homerun on that page, he should be a requirement of any DC hired.

Maybe CDD knows Joseph to be like Thompson in that regard. He is the man paid to make that decision after all.

In the ESPN article I read that Wilcox met with Dooley and a few of the coaches to get a feel for what we're doing here. I'm guessing LT was one of those coaches and if so it looks like LT has literally been Dooley's right hand man during all of this. He went with him on a ton of visits, LT has pretty much been the main recruiter since the previous staff left and now he gets taken with to approve the DC candidate. If true I'm loving the relationship Dooley and LT have together.

I'm still looking for Chuck Smith announcement. Does anyone have a source or link?

He helped beat, ok, oregon, tcu, utah, byu and last time I checked these teams were pretty good. You can say what you want but since he's been the DC there they've beaten almost everybody they've played.

I love the hire, at this point.

I was not disparaging the guy at all.

I was just pointing out that he's the first coaching name that popped up that I couldn't learn more about on wikipedia. Most times, when I did this, his page was already changed to show he was a UT coach.

Let me give you some advice. Wikipedia sucks. I would not believe anything on that website.
