Is Sal Sunseri a good coach?

He spent a long time with the Panthers, and is now a LB coach for Alabama. His name is being thrown around in Knoxville as a candidate for the defensive coordinator job at UT.

From what I know about this guy, I think it would be a stretch to make him a coordinator right now. What do you guys think about this dude? Is he ready for a job like that?

I'll hang up and listen...

He coached some spectacular D-lines for us. That's about all I know.

D-line was almost always our strongest defense unit when he was here.

for most of the time it was but the last couple years it starting falling off. not sure it was his fault.

as far as him being a DC....in college i don't think it would be a problem for him. college defenses aren't all that complicated. i'm sure he learned a bit last year about what makes a good one at the college level.

i always liked him....well, as long as he wasn't coaching where little kids are running around. he has a way of expanding their vocabulary in ways that parents probably don't approve of. :lol:

I liked him. It always pissed me off to hear people complain about how hard nosed, and in your face he was.

It's football, not day care. We need more like him so that some of the pansy asses around the league get a grip on that. It's a tuff, vilent sport, and if a few cuss words hurt your wittle feelings....then you don't need to be playing it.

baker is a bit more hard-nosed than sal, imo. he uses less colorful language but it is every bit, if not more, "in your face".

at training camp it was always a little funny watching soccer moms bring their kids to practice and then see their reaction when sal let it fly.

Someone with more football knowledge than we is considering him for a coordinator position?

Nah, I'd say he sucks as a coach.

:)

i don't know if anyone around here said that he sucks. he was about the only person in the coach exodus last year i was at all sad to see leave.

i'm more than happy with baker, though.

I never said that he sucks as a coach. I know that he had successful defensive lines. I just didn't know much else about the guy. Considering Tennessee first went after Dick Bumpass (DC at TCU) and Kevin Steele, you might see why I'm questioning the readiness of a current ILB coach.

Again, I was just asking to see what you guys thought. I wasn't saying that this guy would be a bad pick. I just don't know a whole lot about him.

      25-26 NHL Regular Season Thread

      Great article on all the Lil Canes attending their debutantes ball. Walt with a great breakdown of all the rookies, as always, and I'm a huge fan of his team coverage, he is truly a treasure, but as a fan of mixed metaphors and superfluous language which some might ignorantly refer to as a "run-on sentence" I never really understood what that mean or where to put the comma after a quote in the middle of a sentence, but holy poo Walt, this is a gem, "While there's a long road left in front of them left to determine whether or not they'll have that same success on the blue line again, the beginning stretch of the journey has been thrown a wrench, and the story on defense has been the emergence of up-and-comers forced into becoming lineup regulars." , bravo, take a bow, sir!

      When the broadcast showed the two benches side by side during the last TV timeout, it was pretty obvious the whole operation is a shitshow. If I was the owner, I would play that clip, with commentary, on the jumbotron at MSG as I fired the coach, GM, President, the whole lot. Bring in your AHL leadership team, wholesale, to finish out the season and start from scratch next year.  Can't fire all the players and fold the season. But, hopefully decapitating the zombie will light a fire under the body and burn out the cancer of the roster. (It makes sense if you don't think about it...) There are obviously issues on the roster. But, you can't have the entire coaching staff completely tuned out with 5 minutes left in a 2 goal game this early in the season. And you can't trust the people that hired them to hire the next staff. If you trust your AHL GM/Scouts, let them run the deadline firesale.   ...     Please don't let the owner read any of this. Because, this poo is hilarous!
