Blitzed!

Southern football legend Joe Lee Dunn was fired today by the University of Memphis. Joe Lee was the defensive coordiantor at South Carolina, Ole Miss, Arkansas, and Mississippi State before joining Tommy West's staff in Memphis. Dunn's defenses were always fun to watch because they would at times seem to blitz 11 men. Joe Lee's defenses were high risk and high reward. They were always physical and fun to watch. (I'm not kidding about sending 11.)

That style endeared him to the Southern fans. That and the fact that he always wore his loafers without socks on the sidelines.
