Rip would be close to tears in postgame press conferences… it did get irritating. His margin for error was minimal given his style of play & the schedule. He believed in keeping the game close with his defense & then trying to make a play in the 4th to win & we just didn’t make enough plays. He had 2 painful losses to UT that he easily could have won… he just wasn’t willing to roll the dice. The 17-16 loss in Knoxville was a game the team deserved to win. UT fans actually cheered for that Tiger team as the left the field. I feel for Rip because he cared so much & he did develop some talent on the defensive side of the ball.

Rip didn't develop any defensive talent. Keith Butler, Vic Koening and Wayne Weedon did. And when they left Tim Walton and Tommy did.

Did they just show up on campus to help out or were they hired as part of his staff?

They were holdovers from the Stobart staff that had Top 5 defenses nationally.

Rip’s teams played good defense for the 6 years he was here, regardless. There were holdovers & there were new hires. There were players who were brought in by Stobart & there were guys that were brought in while he was here… like Marcus Ball, Michael Stone, Idress Bashir, Marcus Smith, Glenn Sumpter, Demarrio Shank, Coot Terry, Will Hyden, Tony Brown, Kamal Shakir, Derrick Ballard & Reggie Howard. Rip did not only inherit.
