Tommy West

Tommy West? As in, the same Tommy West that coached Memphis? Just out of curiosity, WHY would he want to be a DC after being a HC?

Fired head coaches become coordinators all the time.

West can coach.

Yes

I'd rather be the DC at Tennessee than the head coach at Tiger High. At Tennessee, you actually have a fighting chance. As long as Memphis puts all its resources into basketball, they won't be any good in football.

Our last DC was a head coach at one time, and tried to get the Nebraska job a few years ago before they hired Callahan.

As I said earlier, something tells me this wouldn't be the best fit right now, but Tommy West can coach. I'd like to see the next Tiger High coach take them to five bowl games.
