Slade spent 10 seasons at Tennessee as coach in the defensive backfield and is known for turning out some of the nation’s best secondary units. In 2008, Slade was instrumental in leading the Volunteers to a No. 4 ranking in the country in pass defense. The Vols were also tied for the third in the country in total defense that year. Slade coached All-America defensive back Eric Berry. His 2000 and 2001 secondary unit established school season records with 64 and 72 passes broken up, respectively.
