"The chance to work with Derek Dooley, who has been around championships and knows what it takes to build an elite program, combined with the rich tradition of the University of Tennessee, makes this opportunity so exciting to me," Sunseri said in a statement. "I am fired up to work with all of the young talent on the defensive side of the ball, and I can't wait to get up to Knoxville and coach them." - CSS

My question is what championships has CDD been around?

Dooley was on lsu ,s national championship team with saban:loco:epper:epper:epper::wassup::whatever::compute:

[VolsNC]

Congrats on a good hire. We were hoping he would stay until Kirby Smart left for a head coaching job.

 

[Jason Agee]

Hope he brings his son with him that would help us and hurt them since looks like he is going to start next year. Not to mention the son knows the defense already.

 

[Oskie Volum]

3 years 800,000 per year.

A little more than I thought it would be, but hope he understands that for that money we better not have any hiccups.

Wont happen. He has already twitted that he is a bamer.

Thanks for not being a negatroll. :hi: Yeah unfortunately it doesn't mean he wont go back if asked down the road. We have a few guys that I would be confident are going to be loyal as long as they are wanted. We'll see with time if my feeling changes, but at the moment I'm not jobbing on that part of the bandwagon. If he turns out to be really good I'm hoping to get 3 yrs out of him before he moves on. By this pt we should be in a stable enough position where we could possibly move LT to that position and hope he doesn't mess it up. Just IMHO thats all...

No real Bama fans will say anything bad about Sal, we hate to see him go. We're just glad Vinnie joined us before his dad was hired at UT. Sal is a good recruiter but Saban is a great recruiter, don't expect too much.

 

[grimvol]

don't say it....SING IT

Boom - P.O.D.

 

[Jackcrevol]

ill join the kiddos

why not?

boom!

 

[orangetaz]

wow is a good thing plus we made him leave bama

 

[checkerboards09]

boom

Dayum! Who is that?

 

[WillisWG]

Have to wonder who closed the deal with Sal, Hart or Dooley? Either way I'm happy.

 

[led0321]

Eddie Goldman, right it down tonight

CSS gets him to be a Vol

This dude starts next year

 

[Titan&Volfan4life]

I may be wrong but I think on his Bio he was a DC at least twice in the past.

Nick saTan runs the D for alaBubba as we all know but he does NOT keep bad coaches around and smart coaches like CDD and CSS always pay close attention and learn alot from saTan.

He's a great recruiter too and this is a HUGE win for our Vols to steal a top man away from alaBummer right off their National Championship winning team.

The PR win alone should help our recruiting for several years to come and with better recruiting comes more WINS and even more better recruits.

AD Hart saw a solid plan from CDD and they formed a solid TEAM to work together to start getting better pieces of the coaching and recruiting puzzle put in place as soon as the right opportunities came around.

With CSS getting a 3 year contract this also pretty much guarantees that CDD will get the last 3 more years too so he can prove that his plan is working and Tennessee is again back in the national picture.

OL coaching hire is also very good and adds a top 25 National recruiter to our Vols team too and another WIN for CDD and our Vols football program.

Much better days are on the way VN so sit back and watch it all come together.

VFL...GBO!!!

 

[Clintsteele]

Solid Hire. Good recruiter I say :loco:

 

[jkburke12]

I think this is a great hire and has the ability to bring it some highly recruited defensive prospects. He has at least 3 recruits on the ESPN 150 recruited for Bama. Maybe he can bring those with him. Eddie Goldman would be great.
