I would double that to assure he never returns. Worst coach/recruiter combo I have ever seen at the University of Tennessee.



It was Tennessee, not Sal. He was tremendous at Alabama. He recruited and developed his OLBs. Courtney Upshaw became a real force under his tutelage. Sal Sunseri also had a great 10 year run as the DL coach with the Carolina Panthers. He's well respected in coaching circles. He never had a chance at Tennessee.

I do not deny that he is a good position coach and recruiter. But if he was such a great cordinator/ready to be a coordinator, there's no way in hell the UT defense should have struggled like they did. They returned virtualy everyone from a top 30 defense from last year despite being on the field the entire game. (remember how pathetic the offense was in '11?) Maybe he would do better as coordinator of a program that already used a 3-4...but it was an epic failure in Knoxville.

He was a huge hire for us at a relatively cheap price. Not to mention he has already worked together with Fisher, Pruitt, and Craig.
