Tennessee Volunteers coaches leaving for Washington Huskies staff, sources say - ESPN

Quote:

Tennessee is losing two key members of its defensive coaching staff, as coordinator Justin Wilcox and linebackers coach Peter Sirmon have agreed to join Steve Sarkisian's staff at Washington, sources told ESPN.com on Monday.

Sarkisian gutted his defensive staff following a 67-56 loss to Baylor in last week's Valero Alamo Bowl. Defensive coordinator Nick Holt, linebackers coach Mike Cox and safeties coach Jeff Mills were fired after the Huskies allowed 777
total yards, the most in school history.

It didn't take Sarkisian long to find two of the three replacements as he scooped up a pair of coaches with strong West Coast and Pac-12 ties. Wilcox and Sirmon were teammates at Oregon, and Wilcox was the defensive coordinator at Boise State for four seasons before joining coach Derek Dooley at Tennessee two years ago.
