Wonder if we're waiting on Banks to interview other places before we can him. No buyout required if he leaves on his own accord.

Seems plausible. Knowing Heup’s personality he would rather it be that way instead of having to fire Banks. More of a mutual parting of ways. Looks better on Banks’ resume as well.

Sally did say Bama & byu need to win, but I dismissed it when she said Michigan would take a guaranteed spot with their 12-0 record,

Let's go with the 12% option

 

[SoilVol]

Iowa State is clobbering #1 Purdue 74-52 with 5 left.

Michigan State is up on Duke in the second half.

 

[tnvols72]

Purdue getting that Ky treatment from Iowa St

 

[MemphisVol3]

Alabama only scored 17 against us. We won 24-17. Our offense only averaged 15.5 ppg. The offense was at a bigger fault against those four teams.

Put Joey or Hooker on that team and it’s probably undefeated going into the playoff.

No doubt, except for UGA

maybe we still miss a FG and lose it

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Definitely not losing to Arkansas

That BYU 3rd and 9 conversion was a WR screen about a half yard beyond the LOS. Not called.

E-Mail the Big 12 Conference Commissioner.

 

[Lloyd_Christmas]

Yes sir. I live not far from you off Old Newnan rd

Whitesburg? My folks live there and my wife is from there. I grew up in Carrollton.

E-Mail the Big 12 Conference Commissioner.

Doesn’t bother me. Just trying to say that most refs give teams a little grace with that call and we seem to get it called. My guess is opponents ask the officials to watch it closely.

 

[GVol1966]

Banks was a stud recruiter at State. Garner at Auburn. I dont know what issue is. But no doubt who has best Dlines in conference.

AM, UGA, and Bammer.

Oklahoma

 

[Devo182]

Lol the ultimate cherry pick.

You're really going to say 2022 defense was good because you found one good stat out of a hundred bad ones?

Huh? Scoring defense is now a cherry picked stat? What matters more?

Outside of the USCjr debacle, what stands out?

Alabama was poor, but somehow gritty at the right time lol. Gave up 42 to the reigning Heisman and a team we hadn't beaten in 15 years.


The good:

Held ranked LSU and future Heisman to just 13 points on the road. Held ranked UK to SIX points. Held Dabo/Clemson and their demigod kid QB to 13 points. Went off on them. Shut out Vandy. Florida only had 21 pts with the game locked up and under 5 mins remaining. They also kept us within reaching distance vs UGA on an awful offensive night.


Fwiw we ranked even better if you only compare vs SEC, FBS, or P5 opps (4th in the SEC).

 

[jordan4vols]

So dumb. A fg puts you up two scores

 

[PEPPERJAX]

So dumb. A fg puts you up two scores

Yeah
That was a dumb decision.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

TTU has a nasty defense

 

[JT3]

Haven't watched BYU all year but their playcalling has been terrible...

 

[csprig9]

Yeah... 2 NFL corners doesn't completely change your scheme...uhm it does...We couldn't do what we hoped to schematically, all season. Defense wasn't built to stuff the rest, it was built around the studs.

Stop joshin' around.

Corners weren’t on the line of scrimmage or at the safety level
Banks sucks
Last year his stats weren’t good either against the good teams
Even Arky had over 400 against us

 

[MemphisVol3]

Watching this Texas Tech-BYU game and Texas Tech’s zone coverage makes me so jealous.

 

[PowerT.]

I have spoken with multiple people over the past few days about who could be the DC under Franklin, and I have heard these two names more than any others (please don't shoot the messenger)

Tim Banks - Tennessee

Brent Pry

-VT 247

Among the names that On3 continues to hear about the most to be James Franklin’s defensive coordinator are Penn State’s Anthony Poindexter, former Virginia Tech head coach Brent Pry and Tennessee’s Tim Banks.

-On3

 

[Devo182]

Idk what’s more frustrating with banks:

The lack of in game adjustments?
The run defense?
Terrible safety play?
Absolutely no depth?
Never spying running qb?



All of the above is the correct answer ^

Can't quanitfy the others, but imagine having a top-2 rushing defense in the SEC 3 years running prior to this year...

This was his 1st season not in the top 6. Finished 1 spot behind Bama.

For comparison, average run defense ranking in the SEC since 2021:

UGA - 3.8
UT - 4.4
Bama - 5.4

Woe is us!

Also think part of that was the Rodney Garner effect with the DLine. DLine helped tremendously with run defense. This year was probably the 1 “down” year for them in that regard.

My issues with Banks is that he doesn’t seem to scheme or playcall well or adjust. It’s especially obvious against competent OC’s.
