I could talk myself into Shoop. He had really good defenses at Vandy and had elite defenses when he followed Franklin to Penn State. So five consecutive top defenses at the power five level before he decided to go work for Butch Jones. Yes, he was not very good at Tennessee, but they had a TON of injuries on that side of the ball and that program is a flaming pile of elephant **** in every way possible right now. Shoop was thought of as one of the elite defensive minds in college football a couple of years ago.
He’s obviously not Don Brown but would be a good, realistic option.
