Tim Banks is gone

[Volbrando]

So if Arky can bring back Petrino as OC, maybe we should hire Pruitt as DC

I know this is a joke but we could do worse

 

[VoLunTiTan7]

Had to happen. Glad CJH didn't flinch and understood a change for the better was needed.

 

[Volz4lif3]

Don’t hate me….but Inge doesn’t have a ton of experience as a DC and if it were he and Steele I really wouldn’t be mad about it.

Another Volnation wishlist that always comes out and I don’t know why.. Steele

 

[HambyVol]

This is probably going to be Josh's biggest decision while at Tennessee. This hire could be a huge game changer.

Because he’s a solid DC and has in the past been a good recruiter. He could out coach Banks from a coma.

 

[ochocinco]

I really like Banks and hadn’t totally gave up on him but I’m ok with this. Proof,pudding,something

 

[MOOOOONEY]

Using history as an indication.

William Inge will be promoted to DC.

Someone on staff will be promoted to a position coach.

 

[Sea Ray]

Banks was not the problem. It starts at the head coach. Banks was good last year. But when you do not bring in the players or develop them your going to have a fall off. Banks did not miss a field goal against Georgia that would of won the game. Bama, Georgia, Ohio St does not have years where they are not good on O-line or D-line. CJH needs to step it up in these areas.

His defense couldn't even stop Kentucky in the second half.

Be careful what you wish for. The NextGen AI Analytics Ouija board says there's a greater chance of a downgrade than an upgrade.

 

[CAVPUT]

I’d wager Illinois is pissed about now.

Why? We'll trot out the same DBs and Inge won't be scheming up anything radically different from what Banks did. Suspect it will be more of the same.

 

[feathersax]

Wow, honestly wasn't expecting this to happen this season. Needed to be done though

Maybe, Maybe not. Regardless, time to move on. OK, Tennessee fans experts...bring your "expertise " to the table. (Like it really matters
).

It’s a trend…supposedly VT is bring back Pry as DC.

 

[RockyTop140]

If Coach Garner decides to move to Alabama for family, coaching or not coaching, I hope we've got solid plans.

The D staff needed changing but I just hope we can get some hard nosed, take accountability voices on the D side.

I haven’t heard anything about Auburn reaching out to Garner, but you have to think it’s a real possibility he takes it if offered. Coach Chop is great on the recruiting trail but it’s just as important if not more to develop.

I’m interested to see what the DC does if he’s an external hire.

Could be.Pretty much the same hopefully some different waves

 

[NighthawkVol]

Who exactly did he develop into day 1 picks? Hood nor McCoy will go 1st Rd, I guarantee you that. Secondly, they were both transfers that had already been developed. Who has he recruited and developed into an elite DB? And don't say Gibson, at best he's a day 2 pick.

We could save a lot of money by not having a CB coach at all. Just get players from the portal who are already fully developed and let them go without a coach, since portal players can’t be developed anyway. Hell, let’s do this for every position! We’ll save so much money because your post is definitely not ridiculous at all!

Word is that Coach Garner wants to go back to Alabama for family reasons. He probably has older parents and wants to be there. Great coach and my favorite on the staff but can't blame him if that's the case.

 

[Smokymtnbullet]

Everyone lobbying for a VFL,Marion Hobby is on staff as an analyst.He has experience in the NFL and winning a natty at Clemson as a dline coach.He has also been a Co-DC.If Rodney Garner leaves for another job or personal reasons we have a replacement.

 

[Volador]

This is Coach Heupel's BEST offensive call all year!!

​

 

[Iravolfan]

Thank God almighty, we are free at last

7th ranked Defense last year ! Fans got him run off ! Be careful what you wish for

 

[orangemadam]

Marion Hobby, Jerod Mayo, Dale Jones, Al Wilson. Any of them qualified ? Smoky posts the Hobby qualifications - what about the others?

Well, we can only go down about 40 spots, and we can go up about 90, so it’s probably a risk worth taking.

 

[Hoggervol]

I’m not sure if the Mark Stoops recommendations are real or jokes..

Let's pray they are jokes!

[SubVet676]

Coach cornerbacks to make sure there’s no one between the ball and the receiver.

FYP

He’s 67 and hasn’t coached in 2 years.
