If UT's defense played to the level of the offense, we would have been 10-2 or 11-1. If the defense played to the level of last year, we are 9-3 or 10-2. The problem this year was Sunseri period, not Bray, not Dooley, not Chaney, not DB coaches. Pure and simple, it was Sunseri. Give credit where credit goes.

Regardless of next year's coach, I'm predicting our defense is no worse than 55th in the country - a 50% improvement over this year - with basically the same personnel.

I totally disagree. Dooley is the one to blame for the worst Vol defense I've ever seen. It was his decision to move to the 3-4. I don't care how good you are as a DC, that transition is going to cost you some games. Look at UGA. The only difference between us and them is their head coach could afford to lose a few, ours obviously couldn't and now Dooley is gone. I always liked Dooley, but he made bad decision after another.
