Wilcox isn’t coming alone. Linebackers coach Peter Sirmon is leaving Tennessee as well to take the same job with the Huskies. Both Wilcox and Sirmon have significant Northwest ties — each played at Oregon and Wilcox’s big break came as defensive coordinator for Boise State.
Along with Holt, Washington also dismissed linebackers coach Mike Cox and safeties coach Jeff Mills. The moves came after Washington had the worst statistical defense in school history.
Meh. Wilcox did OK... he didn't set the world on fire. Of course the talent pool was a bit shallow. The rumor mill has Dooley looking at either Randy Shannon or Steele from Clemson. Of course after his non-showing at the Orange bowl that could be baaaaaaad. I think we will know by Monday at the latest. Whatever happens, this coaching merry-go-round nightmare needs to end.
