What was Cal coach Justin Wilcox like as Tennessee defensive coordinator?

We continue our tour of California Golden Bears coach Justin Wilcox and his college football coaching road. After his first stop at Boise State, Wilcox got his first major Power 5 coaching job as the Tennessee Volunteers defensive coordinator. Wilcox would spend two years at Tennessee before moving onto Washington and taking the same position there.

Considering the pure chaos of the Kiffin tenure in Tennessee, how much can you actually take away from Wilcox's time in Knoxville?

I think the 2010 team really overachieved just to get to 6-6 after the Kiffin fiasco, and Wilcox's defense was a big part of that.
