Who lives in Miami and wants to go to the Orange Bowl?

Some hypothetical names being thrown around for our new DC:
Justin Wilcox (we can pay him enough to make it worth it for him to leave Tennessee with our new TV money, but I don't know if they want to
It didn't take Sarkisian long to find two of the three replacements as he scooped up a pair of coaches with strong West Coast and Pac-12 ties. Wilcox and Sirmon were teammates at Oregon, and Wilcox was the defensive coordinator at Boise State for four seasons before joining coach Derek Dooley at Tennessee two years ago.
Not a lot went right for Tennessee this season, but the Vols finished 28th nationally in total defense, and Wilcox and his staff were able to hold their own with one of the youngest defenses in the country. Three true freshmen -- linebackers A.J. Johnson and Curt Maggitt and safety Brian Randolph -- started most of the season.
Wilcox, 35, has been a hot commodity since his red-hot run at Boise State. He was wooed by Texas last season, but elected to stay at Tennessee.
Sirmon, a Wenatchee, Wash., native, played seven seasons with the Tennessee Titans as a linebacker. He spent the 2009 season as a graduate assistant at Oregon before coming to Tennessee in 2010 as a grad assistant working under Wilcox. In addition to being one of the Vols' top assistant coaches, Sirmon also was one of the program's best recruiters.
wow
blowing up that Justin Wilcox will be the new UW defensive coordinator.
me sads.
and Sirmon is going to be the linebackers coach
I feel stabbed in the back
Penn State is done. They can't hang with Houston. Wish UH didn't lay an egg against S.Miss so we could be in a BCS game. Still haunts me as a coog.
Pretty much. No way Dooley will be able to get anyone worth a damn. This is pretty much the nail in Dooleys coffin. There is no way this team will get the 9 wins it will take to save his job. Should probably just promote Lance Thompson and hope for the best.Tennessee is sooooooooooo screwed.
Having to hire a large chunk of the staff, any new coaches will seek multiple year deals with buyouts. So when Tennessee inevitably fires Dooley, they'll have to pay out the assistant coaches too.
Probably should can Dooley now, save themselves that mess.

17-0 and still the first quarter. That Big 10 defense.
Well this kinda sucks, firstrowsports is down.

Just like Boise, it's looking like Houston deserved a much better opponent.
This whole idea of a "mid-major" team losing once means slapping them down to a weak bowl has to stop. That Boise St. demolishing of Arizona St. was embarrassing and criminal. This game is going to probably end up looking the same. They need to fix this broken system.
But first things first. Let's stop putting Nelly on TV.
They have contracts in place with conferences that include ticket guarantees. The MWC or CUSA ain't gonna guarantee 20K ticket sales in the off chance they have a year where one of their teams deserve it and the bowls don't exist without those ticket sales.
Bowls are exhibitions that have nothing to do with fairness.
Houston #1 offense in the nation to be fair.
PSU #10 in total D, bonus stat.
Random bama fan in the crowd lol
That's usually the case, but it's painfully obvious that the BCS just wants to lock Boise St. out.
The BCS has nothing to do with the bowls outside of the BCS games and Boise St. has no argument for being in a BCS game this year.
