Tim Banks - maybe he’s pretty good?

[Kas232323]

Perhaps it’s time for some to acknowledge his abilities.

Maybe. We also haven’t played an offense ranked in the top 100. But his defense is doing what it’s supposed to do, so far…

Hard to be ranked high when the sample size is small and we leave them with 0s

But we are much better than we have been in the last several years.

Absolutely.

 

[Wezcoast]

Having corners and LBs do their job is amazing to feel . We finally have at least a competent group in every phase of our game .

The real tests will be against Alabama and Georgia.

 

[lukeneyland]

I’m so sorry for ever doubting him. It’s almost like I don’t actually know anything about football

Still can't help yourself. There's no maybe to it.

I hope his wife loves Knoxville

The front 7 has been awesome. We are recruiting studs under Heupel and they are developing. Why is it so hard for this place to be positive?

So, just to be clear, you still have doubts about this D Line?

 

[kell7517]

I think we’ve improved, no doubt. But would like to see what they can do against a better proficient and talented offense. That’s all. We will
Find out soon.

If by "real tests" you actually meant national championship test, I totally agree. But this nonsense that we haven't played anybody has got to stop. We are a very good football team. Right now. And there are not many of those.

 

[Ned Ray McWorkher]

So, just to be clear, you still have doubts about this D Line?

What would the doubt even be? D line, or otherwise? We could use four starting offensive tackles, but so could everyone else.

The reluctance to admit that we are a good team is almost alarming. We don't have to go 12-0. Even though we just might. We are good right damned now people. Obviously UGA Alabama & Ohio State have been better recruiting in recent history. It's also obvious that we are on their asses. We can stand toe to toe with anyone in 2024.

He was good before he came to UT. And he is good now. The only question is “how good?” He’s looked like a defensive genius these first four games. Next thread please.

Well the OP asked if he was pretty good. Which is asking “how good “ Is he. Good, yes or he wouldn’t be coaching at a big time program. Pretty good-let’s standby and see. Like what I’m seeing currently. But long ways to go.

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

He probably gets a new job next year if he continues at this rate.

 

[Ned Ray McWorkher]

Hell yeah OU didn't get past 3 points or 100 yards until the fourth quarter. 3 sacks 11 tackles for loss 3 turnovers & a safety. Damn.
