Better hire than House IMO

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.

Two? I can't think of them.

Banks defenses:

CMU (first DC job)
2007: 36.9ppg
2008: 30.2ppg
2009: 18.9ppg

Cincinnati (co-DC)
2010: 28.0ppg
2011: 20.3ppg

Illinois (co-DC)
2012: 32.1ppg
2013: 35.4ppg
2014: 34.0ppg
2015: 23.2ppg (new HC)

Penn State (co-DC)
2016: 25.4ppg
2017: 16.5ppg
2018: 20.5ppg
2019: 16.0ppg
2020: 27.7ppg

The first 3 seasons at Illinois they had a terrible HC, and the offense was atrocious under him the defense actually averaged more plays a game on field and the offense turned it over a ton. They hire a new HC and the defense improves by almost 11ppg, first year the offense spent more plays on the field than the defense too.

His time at Penn State I'm sure has benefited his knowledge as well. Seems like a good player developer based on the year to year improvement early in his career and he can recruit pretty well too.

Why is media all over the Gus should have been TN Hc stuff today? I would have fully supported the hire and it would have been a safe hire to get to 8’wins but we needed a QB developer and he has proved he can’t do that. He has to have a dual threat run first guy. Honestly more excited to see a JH offense in SEC and only worried about if we made a good DC complimentary hire.

Tim Banks, Safeties Coach (FB), Penn State Nittany Lions

 

[TrippieRedd]

What does Banks run?
4-3
3-4
Multiple

 

[MrVolton]

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).

Banks coached LBs for a few years at Memphis and Maryland.

 

[rdavis007]

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

Where does that leave Steele?

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

Why is Martinez coaching Centers now?

Steele & Simon are still here, technically.

Only thing House has on him is the NFL cred IMO.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

So who calls the plays at Penn State if he is the co-dc?

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

I think Weinke is going to coach LB.

No, no. Don’t even go there.

 

[drvenner]

No, no. Don’t even go there.

Just trying to get Bass riled.

SOL

That's my question as well.

 

[Dooby15]

Just needed a better than average hire at DC and I think we’ve done that. Especially with Garner on staff. The name of the game now is quarterback development and scoring points. And we have that as well. Just win eight until Saban retires.

Not accepting any DC until its inked. Jf might offer a $5 burger King gift card and banks is back at Psu

Corners

Quick skinny from a Penn State fan I know.

Good recruiter
Had no hand in play calling at Penn State
Safety play was not great under his watch.
