Okay, here's my one attempt to put an end to this complete idiocy:
Wommack's statistical record as a DC is factually superior to Tenuta's in every measurable way.
1. Their yardage and total points numbers are almost exactly the same -- within about 10 yards and half a point per game.
2. Wommack's defenses have generated a LOT more turnovers. Tenuta's all time season high is 28. Wommack has beaten that in four of his six seasons as a DC. He averages about a half dozen more turnovers per season than Tenuta.
3. Wommack has had a lot less returning experience than Tenuta. He has averaged about one less returning starter than Tenuta did. Tenuta's returned 9 starters twice while Wommack never returned more than 8; and Wommack returned 3 in 2004 and 4 in 2008 while Tenuta never had fewer than 5 coming back.
4. There's no reasonable argument that Wommack had more talent relative to his opposition.
5. Tenuta had 7 seasons in one job while Wommack has never had the chance to really establish his defense. His longest tenure was at Arkansas -- which returned 4 total starters in his third season, resulting in Nutt being forced to fire him despite his having done a solid job under the circumstances.
