Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[pierce60]

Finished 6th in total defense Big 10 in 2020....3rd in 2019. Could be much, much worse!!

 

[SpringBokVol]

so what do we know about Banks?

Doesn't seem like he was calling the plays at any of his last 2-3 stops as he has been Co-DC.

 

[Dudley Smith]

I like the fact that he has continually climbed the ladder as a DC, from Central Michigan, to Cincinnati, to Illinois, to Penn State. Do we know if he has been calling the plays at Penn State?

DW and Pete Thamel have these announcements on Spanish Inquisition-level.

BREAKING: University of Tennessee successfully defends coaching search national title after strong challenges from South Carolina and Auburn. Danny White named MVP.

 

[Kingston Vol]

What makes THIS one a very fine hire?

Good recruiter, called defensive plays before. He will be fine! Not good, but not bad!

 

[SpringBokVol]

So
DC/ Safeties - Banks
DL - Garner
DB - Martinez? I hope Banks takes the whole secondary

Hope we can get a solid LB coach, but part of me thinks Kevin Simon may get it.

I believe Jancek will have a role

I am not questioning you, but where did he call the defensive plays?

I would like to look at those seasons.

So it sounds like you’re whelmed, but not overly so.

 

[TrippieRedd]

I believe Jancek will have a role

Ok so
Banks - DC/Safeties
Garner - DL
Jancek - LB
Martinez - DB

Maybe Jan and Banks can be Co-DC but I doubt it.

[Nashvegas31]

Told you Thamel is DW boy. So much for the he wasn’t interested part. I don’t know about his play calling ability but at least he has done it before and he is a top recruiter. He was smoking Michigan for Detroit area dudes.

 

[Kingston Vol]

I am not questioning you, but where did he call the defensive plays?

I would like to look at those seasons.

He was sole DC at Central Michigan under Butch. I figure there’s a chance he called plays at Cincinnati and Illinois after that.

 

[MrVolton]

So
DC/ Safeties - Banks
DL - Garner
DB - Martinez? I hope Banks takes the whole secondary

Hope we can get a solid LB coach, but part of me thinks Kevin Simon may get it.

My guess:
DC/ILB - Banks
OLB - Simon
C - Martinez
S - Jancek
DL - Garner

On 247, the article on hiring Banks as DC states that CJH kept two coaches from pruitt’s staff...which 2? Is that a mistake or am I missing something? Thanks in advance.

 

[SpringBokVol]

For where it appeared we were heading, this is a great hire -a sitting DC who has 25 years of coaching experience and can recruit and develop.

• Banks helped run a defense that ranked fifth nationally against the run (95.0) and eighth in scoring (16.0) in 2019. The Nittany Lions additionally led the nation in forced fumbles (22) and were tied for third in fewest touchdown passes allowed (10).
• Penn State gave up just 16.0 points per game (8th), the fewest for PSU since the 2009 squad allowed 12.2 tallies per contest.

Simon, I’m assuming is one

 

[Kingston Vol]

Banks coached with Jancek at Cincinnatti, so there's a tie there. But he also coached Safeties at Penn State so it's possible Martinez is hired to coach CBs.

The only question now is linebacker coach(es).

I think Weinke is going to coach LB.
