Official announcements on Spence and Wommack..

Sorry bro, I just don't believe anything until I see the team announce it, not even from newspapers which you actually brought to my attention about the unreliability of them. But both teams officially announced them finally. Bowden even says its pretty serious with Spence. Heres my thoughts on both (I did a little research on Wommack).

Wommack:

2007-PresentOutside Linebacker CoachSouthern Miss.
2006Linebacker CoachSouth Carolina
2005Secondary CoachSouth Carolina
2002-2004Defensive CoordinatorArkansas
2001Secondary CoachArkansas
1998-2001Defensive CoordinatorSouthern Miss.
1994-1998Secondary CoachSouthern Miss.

Wommack had also been promoted to Southern Miss. DC this year. In 2002 Arkansas won the SEC West. So he pretty much had the same achievements as Herring. The guy seems to get moved to DC everywhere he has gone except South Carolina. So someone is seeing something in him. Nutt saw something he liked. Southern Miss. sees something they like. Johnson sees something he likes, I'll trust his judgement on that. Spurrier saw something he didn't like, I trust his judgement on that he was not for SC. Not being a smartass but did your defense improve without him this year? Also, at least on Rivals the fans are not upset on getting rid of Tenuta, if that is indeed the plan or Wommack being hired, no mention of it in fact.

Spence...

Looks like he may leave. If he leaves it could be due to the new contract. Maybe its the money in that he didn't get a big raise. If he doesn't get more money now and leaves it only stands to reason they are letting him go. I'm not convinced TDP and Bowden are completely satisfied with him. I doubt Sweeney will run the exact same offense, noone does. I know that Clemson and other teams are high on Sweeney, they try to get him every year. Maybe it is time he stepped up and gave it a shot as OC. However, I certainly don't agree that there are no other ones out there. They don't have to be out of a job to be available. Clemson just has to be a better opportunity than where they currently are. Bobby Bentley maybe? Just a thought and supposedly Bowden has him on a shortlist when he has an assistant coach opening. If Sweeney does get the nod, we will still have an opening. Just a thought.
