Wommack has been a head coach for the past three years at S. Alabama and a DC for three different schools prior. Here are some stats on his defenses.
His first job as a DC was at Eastern Illinois in the FCS division.
2014- Defense ranked 2nd in the conference in scoring defense, third in total defense and third in yards per play
2015- Defense ranked 2nd in scoring defense, 2nd in total defense and 2nd in yards per play.
2nd job- South Alabama DC in the Sun Belt, 11 teams 2016, 12 teams 2017
2016- 7th in scoring defense, 6th in YPP and total yards
2017- 8th in scoring defense, 7th in YPP and 9th in total yards
3rd job- Indiana B1G- 14 teams
2019- 9th in scoring, YPP, and total yards
2020- Covid year, 4th in scoring, 9th in ypp, 5th in total yards
HC job -South Alabama, Sun Belt- 2021 10 teams 2022 14 teams, 2023 14 teams
2021- 5th scoring, total yards and YPP,
2022- 4th scoring, total yards and YPP
2023- 3rd scoring, 3rd in YPP and 2nd in total yards
As an actual DC, not a whole lot there that screams he was that great.
The S. Alabama defense was ranked 9th out of ten teams in YPP the year before he took over.
Pretty solid turn around the next three years.
But this isn't a head turning hire and his name to this point doesn't match the brand of his school. Deboer worked opposite him at Indiana in 2019. He'd have a good idea how good he is going against him in scrimmages. Sometimes an unknown can work out. Don't know how much that will help him in recruiting in the South.
Us stealing T-Rob is a far greater noise maker than KD hiring this guy.
