Maybe...but if they were just guessing right, they had somebody doing a really good job of guessing.

Is is funny how just a slight alingement of one lineman's feet, or the QB puts his mouthpiece in for a pass play but not a run play...can tip off what is coming. That was the game we played the little walk-on running back and I suspect he was tipping it somehow. Because that was the only game that I really noticed the defense responding just a little too quick to a play.

I mean if you were expecting ALL of our hires were going to be better than their predecessors, you have too high of expectations.

Sunseri is in place to help recruit our defensive players... We need a good Xs and Os guy. This hire will be fine. Even trade for Lance Thompson IMO.

GBO!

I think he will be okay - teaches great technique.

Not a good recruiter.

It feels like we settled.

They had better candidates and said, no, I think we will hire the worse one.

I think Palmero's coaching will be better than LT's. I also think that Thompson's body of work here at UT was kind of lack luster. Don't get me wrong, he recruited pretty well given the circumstances, but he also didn't burn it up here either. I think it's pretty even, but give the slight edge to Palmero, just for his coaching.

I watched the Vols vs MTSU football game from last fall twice. I am still convinced that we were doing coming to tip off our run plays. The whole point of the sprint-draw system is to make every play look like a pass. But if you watched the tape of that game real closely, somehow their linebackers knew when a run was coming. They were all stepping up and filling the holes just a hair too quickly for the natural read process.

I hope this guy can tell us what we were doing that was giving it away...?

Maaaaaaybe I'm wrong....but watch that film. It was a little strange.

Thanks for the post. That's what I have been trying to educate some posters on since early last season. Every team broke the code from Florida on. That's why they tried to switch over to straight man or whatever it was supposed to be (and wasn't) the last couple of games. They had the keys figured out and we never changed. Nearly every time the opposing D would have every gap covered when we ran the ball.

I heard Coach Sunseri was high on Palermo. People think they may have settled but realistically speaking, guys like Bo Davis were not leaving Texas for UT for the same position. Some of the other candidates I heard mentioned were also unrealistic.

Good post. If he gets it done he can stay until retirement or Dooley leaves. If he doesn't a change can be made easy enough with only a 2 year contract. In 2 years there will be no doubt if Dololey has made it or not.

his experience makes him an excellent hire. with his experience and the players he has coached, he'll do just fine at recruiting.

I don't know that much about him overall. I think if he can coach em up that will be good enough for me. You dont need an ace recruiter for every potition.

I think it is a good hire from an experience standpoint.Maybe he can help improve our pass rush and run defense next year.

IMO CJP will be a better DL coach then CLT. Don't count out CJP on the recruiting trail either but truly time will tell.He seems to have a nice resume, NFL and some big time programs w/ good coaches at the helm

I wish there was an option for "depends on what you mean by upgrade". I have to agree with SPV here:

I'm thinking that was the plan all along. They need a mix of great recruiters to get the players in, and some great technicians to teach the players what to do. The hope is that the great technicians teach the recruiters how to be better coaches.

I think Hinshaw and Graham are gonna be good ones someday. They are both really good recruiters. Joseph is a great recruiter, but now he's got enough tools to work with to make a fair judgment of his skill as a coach. As I see it, adding the geezers will help them all reach their potential.

My thoughts exactly.

I think CDD is looking for good coaches who won't be looking to jump to another job. That being said , I'm not really sure about it being an upgrade. If Lance was given a new contract and was still here I would be happy with it. He wasn't and we moved on. I mean , my honest opinion is no because nobody really wanted him to leave. But that's why we don't get paid to make these decisions. Could turn out to be an upgrade and for the best.

Games are won up front, and CLT could have all of the recruiting prowess in the world, but our DL did not get very much pressure at all last season. We need a guy that has a reputation for being a hard-nosed coach that has enough experience to apply some pressure. We were unsure of Baggett's ability to recruit as well, but his reputation and resume helped him alot. The same could be said about CJP. Bo Davis seemed like the only other viable candidate (according to Hubbs), but this was his first year at Texas--an area that he is familiar and comfortable with. I do not think we settled. I actually think we could have done much worse.

Well seeing as he is the new coach and all new coaches and new recruits are better than former coaches and current players/former recruits then yes he is better.

He's a TEACHER and knows the X's and O's as well as anyone in the game.

Our kids need a tough nosed teacher that will explain and teach everything in detail so they have no doubts what's what at game time and this is a solid upgrade for our coaching staff.

He's put DL's in the Nfl and put NFL players in the ProBowl and those facts gets kids attention real fast so I think he'll do fine as a recruiter.

I wasn't really impressed with CLT's recruiting so this may be a push but from a coaching standpoint of what our D line did last season this is a great hire.

Coaches that teach fundamentals and demand excellence build the best players and we have alot more of that now as well as better recruiters across the board.

The TEAM of AD Hart and CDD working together are going to rebuild us the right ways for the long term and that's what I've always wanted to see.

LONG term is always better than a couple of decent seasons followed by years of rebuilding again!

VFL...GBO!!!

I don't know if he can recruit.

His resume as a DL coach is much better than CLT's.
