Tennessee defensive coordinator Sal SunseriKNOXVILLE – Sal Sunseri was giving no hints.
Tennessee’s maligned defensive coordinator wasn’t willing to reveal if he’d be moving to the coaching booth when the Volunteers play visiting Missouri on Saturday.
“You’ll have to wait till Saturday to find that out,” he said after Wednesday morning’s practice.
Head coach Derek Dooley said Monday the Vols would be making “a lot” of changes defensively, including some game-day changes with how the defensive coaching staff implements and calls the game. The third-year coach said Sunseri “could” coach from the booth. Safeties coach Josh Conklin and graduate assistant Brandon Staley, who helps Sunseri coach linebackers, are the two normal coaches in the booth.
“We’re just going to do some things a little bit different, and you guys can see what we’re going to do on Saturday when we play,” Sunseri said. “He’s the boss. Derek’s the boss. I think it’ll be good.”
