To me, this is the best case scenario:
Justin Wilcox becomes our defensive Chip Kelly.
We have a great season but it is because our D is top in the Pac while our Offense is somewhere in the middle (performing well when they need to with a little luck on our side). At the end of the year Sark,Woody, and everyone else see the writing on the wall. Sark, with the urging/blessing of the UW athletic department takes a job in the NFL. Wilcox is elevated to HC, Sirmon to DC, Tosh is given extra recruiting duties, Cozetto and Nansen are sent to the glue factory, Wilcox hires an OL coach and RB coach with recruiting/on the field results
Yeah...that's not going to happen.
Wilcox isn't that great. Neither is tosh.1
Wilcox could be great but we won't find out until he takes the DC job at some SEC school and wins a couple title games.
Holt could have been great too based on his usc time
Damone, stop with the bullshit. I'm all for coaches having to prove their worth, but Wilcox has a good track record at three different stops. Look at Tennessee's defense with him at the helm, and look at it without him. The drop off is astounding. Look at how he did at Boise. Look at the improvement at UW from Holt to him. The guy has been a success everywhere he has been.
He certainly has more to prove, and I do think it is very premature to talk about him being a possible replacement for Sark, but I'm glad we have him coaching the defense. It's been awhile since we had a quality dc.
