I am not one who thinks only one guy is qualified. Just based on the info posted here, I think I could make a good case for Shannon, Green, Sunseri, and others who were apparently much less of a consideration. The only guy I could not quite rationalize was Steele.

I am more excited about this guy than I was about Shannon. He has recruited well to Bama which is more like recruiting to UT than recruiting So FL to Miami is. I believe
he was the national recruiter of the year.

One of the knocks on Shannon was that he's D's were not creative. If you could beat his base D... you beat him. I respect execution over schemes but in the SEC you need both. Sunseri worked under Saban who is a 304 guru... and under John Fox IIRC at Carolina who is a 403 guru. Saban may have the most effective blitz schemes in football... Sunseri coached his LB's.

I must agree. Also Shannon wasn't coaching in the SEC. Where as Sal has and is familiar with the teams that we play. That is a very large plus. Shannon almost never brings the house or even an apartment for that matter. I believe Sal is a much better fit for UT and am satisfied with this choice. I am by no means bashing Shannon. I have respect for his accomplishments. Just saying I think we have the best fit if indeed it is Sal

[DenverVol01]

Boom! I like it. Not quite a homerun imo, but maybe a standing triple...

Go Vols!

Hopefully Sunseri will be here in time to tuck him into beddy-bye tonight.

Hubbs has said 3 times that it is Sunseri and VQ sent out their text.

It is done my friend.

If it is Sunseri it will be strange when we play Bama next year (will Sunseri really be able to pull for UT in that game when his own son is playing for Bama).
