Sunseri vs Wilcox

[1972 Grad]

I feel like this arguement of wilcox vs sunseri is irrelevant. we didnt fire wilcox, he left us because he knew how bad things are, i mean he went to Washington!, who does that.

Sunseri is the charlie white of defense.:hi:

Wilcox and Sirmon are west coast guys. Why would they not want to go back? Washington isn't Pop Warner football.

This is the worst defense in UT modern history- even though many of the players have talent. Uhm, could it be coaching? I think it could be. They look so bad at times, I am embarrassed for them. I cant figure it out- how did they get to be this inept? With last years D- we would have won at least 1 of the Ga, MS, USC group. And that would mean a different season.

just insults and baseless excuses for your unwavering support of Sunseri.

I just stopped reading after this. I don't know how many times I have to say I haven't made a judgment on Sunseri, verbally, on a positive or negative note. You really are stupid if you haven't noticed that.

The rest of it is bound to be utter stupidity, so why bother.

I agree, and I think the main problem is that it's nice to talk about a scheme that focuses on applying pressure and blitzing but harder to implement with the personnel that we have. I think the reason why we are so bad is that we don't have enough speed, talent, or depth STILL--and it's not helpful that we decided to change to a 3-4 and completely reinvent the wheel. There is talent--it's there but it's sparse and too thin in some critical areas. There is a reason why Wilcox didn't blitz at all and was about as vanilla as you can get---because he knew doing that would risk giving up big plays and TD's and that's exactly what we are doing now. No continuity is just killing us.

Wilcox laughs.

This defense has more size, speed, and experience than anything Wilcox coached, and is about 80 positions lower in every defensive category listed.

Sal has managed to field the worst UT defense in memory - living or dead.

Sal is dead to to his players, the Vols have no confidence in his knowledge, skills, or abilities and it is evident in their play. He has lost them.
