Recruiting Forum Football Talk IX

[MarcoVol]

Bring me either one of the biggest names (I’m talking Patricia, Knowles, Bryant Haines) or someone I’ve never heard of.

No SEC re-treads. Please and thank you.

I’m laying Indiana’s DC whatever he wants. Literally whatever he wants.

I like him too but their DC has only coached LB's and DL so who do you let go for him. I could see Heupel hiring a CEO DC or one that has experiencing coaching secondary. Also would he leave?

 

[Tri-CitiesVol]

Multiple universities brought back a former head coach as defensive coordinator this cycle. You all know what that means…

 

[RikidyBones]

We can reclassify this website as porn with the Tim Banks news.

 

[MarcoVol]

Crazy considering he played in the Sec?..and I’m pretty sure he was for New England

LB coach for Patriots. Never DC.

SEC offenses WAY different than what he saw in this league.

 

[InVOLuntary]

Fans are are f****** stupid ass morons.

They can be. But my point remains. Fans support coaches by purchasing tickets, contributing money, purchasing merch. If fans quit doing those things because they are not enjoying the performance of the team, coaches get fired.

Patricia is a Super Bowl winning DC... Would be a tremendous addition...

 

[SpringBokVol]

I think we are in a much better spot this time around to hire a DC. Plus, Heupel really knows and understands what he needs out of the defense at this point.

He will make a good hire.

Tactfully done.

Good outlook

 

[Vol423]

wonder if new DC will have any say so with Heupel in keeping or getting rid of Willie

If he doesn't insist on having a say so regarding his staff, then he is a poor hire.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Hate it for Banks. Ultimately he's responsible for it all. When you go 4/5 years, with what we have access too. And field one of worst in SEC. It kinda writes itself. Kudos to Josh for making the right decision.

Will be bumpy here for a bit, may lose some guys. But was the right call.

Buying players has to get better. Talent eval has to get better. Honestly, i'm not impressed at all with Martinez' ability to recruit and make guys better. He and Banks have been pedestrian, outside of lucking into two porthole guys.

Fixed it for you...this ain't "recruiting" any more

 

[volbeast33]

Wilcox or mayo

Wilcox

 

[smokeyhuntsgators]

There it is

 

[Enki_Amenra]

No flippin sh!t. I don't care how good a coach is if he doesn't have the horses he aint gonna win. Show me a coach that has good defense with scrubs. Most fans put too much credit\blame on coaching. Jimmies and Joes.

Indiana

Yea I'm down for the new DC to keep all of or none of the current staff...whatever he wants

The @InVOLuntary household will now celebrate Christmas on 12/8 each year.

Our linebackers were awful this year

The ellipses at the end was my attempt at blue font

 

[InVOLuntary]

I take no joy in seeing anyone lose their job. I appreciate Banks for taking on the challenge when no one wanted the job. However, he was paid handsomely. Best of luck coach Banks.

 

[MemphisVol3]

One thing for certain is with the talent we have on defense, this is a lot more attractive job than when Heupel first took over.

 

[ENGRVOL]

Appreciate the time that Banks gave this university especially in 2021 when not a lot of people wanted the job. Solid d coach the past few years up until this year but sometimes things just do not work out. Wish him the best.

Hope we get someone with proven college experience and a solid recruiter. Don’t know much about his prior experience but if Inge was involved with 2023 Washington defensive playcalling would be ok choice.

Nick Saban?

 

[SmyrnaATLVolisback]

If Vols would’ve made the CG last year and lost to UGA like Bama did, do you feel like the Vols should’ve been left out?

Nope.

Championship games shouldn’t hurt any team if many other teams sitting at home get a benefit from it. Why even play if it risks the playoffs then? Just forfeit.

If anyone should be mad, it is BYU and no one is talking about it. Playoff rankings should be finalized before conference championship games. ND, OU, A&M, and others should not benefit from other teams losing because they couldn’t or wouldn’t play in a championship game.

 

[JT3]

Add Nick Saban to the hot board!!!!
