Recruiting Forum Football Talk IX

[Orangeburst]

With the dismal season ending..

 

[jmacvols1]

Should've came forward while Lane was at Mississippi. Why now? Oh, yeah Kiffin left them high and dry..

that report is not real.....Pate not Pete

Yea I changed my statement....

Walter's has had very average to below average defenses during his career. Has had team defenses ranked 50th, 85th and a few in the 100s.

These are the rankings of points allowed for his teams as DC
2022 Illinois: 1st
2021 Illinois: 29th
2020 Missouri: 85th
2019 Missouri: 16th
2018 Missouri: 50th
While his defenses have struggled some years, you can’t completely ignore the good seasons he’s had.

 

[TheBigOne10]

Walters actually stands on the sidelines during the games?!?!?! HIRE HIM NOW.

 

[MemphisVol3]

Banks ran a 4-2———————————5

 

[vol4eva]

Walter’s would be a home run hire

Request for prayers. As some know, I took a life-changing job in DC that started in September. In October we had our second child. I haven't had any time off and we knew it would be a challenge, but we didn't factor in how difficult this would all be for our oldest daughter (3.5yo).

We knew there would be an adjustment, but she's very obviously dealing with anxiety and probably depression. Multiple times a day she cries because she misses her friends from her old preschool. Multiple times a day she asks to call or facetime her grandparents, aunts, and cousins, something she never asked to do before we moved. While out she will go from being happy and in the moment to panicking and asking for her blanket or to be held.

We know part of that is being a 3yr old learning how to regulate emotions. And her imagination is definitely coming in full swing now. It's just been hard for us to watch and manage especially.

We are trying our best. We call family daily, we do fun things on weekends as often as possible, we are trying to make this Christmas a magical one, she's at a new school now slowly making new friends. Also hoping to start going to church where she's in school to create more of a connection for her and us. We also talked last night and plan to sit down with her and create a very structured schedule to alleviate some of her anxiety and help her and us manage each day. We just need some encouragement, prayers, and support.

And we need the Vols to play a bowl game so she can run around screaming "Woo!" As I sing Rocky Top and celebrate touchdowns.

Thanks y'all.

Prayers for her adjustment and God's wisdom for you.

 

[Volnut]

That's likely our guy.

I think Heupel likes familiarity and he has a history with Walters.

 

[MemphisVol3]

Im guessing back with Mizz...

He transformed those Mizzou defenses into really good defenses. They were bad before he took over. They used to beat our a** when he was there.

He coached Devon Witherspoon @ Illinois (Jim Thorpe finalist)

Dear VolNation Recruiting Forum Morans,

Seeing as VolQuest has now released an official DC hotboard, I am resigning from my responsibilities as the official VolNation Recruiting Forum DC hotboard custodian. You never dream as you’re coming up that one day you will be trusted with such a sacred task as this, and I truly appreciate all of your support along this incredible journey.

Thanks, everyone. It’s been a heckuva ride!

Go Vols,
@Jimmy Football

Dang.... I worked right through it.

 

[vol4eva]

This would also be the most talent Walter’s has worked with in his career at Tennessee IMO

My boys are around that same age. Prayers for your family.

*me having just learned who Ryan Walters is 3 hours ago*

Gotta be Ryan Walters. GOTTA BE. If it’s not Ryan Walters I’m going to be UPSET

So Top 30 scoring defense 60% of the time at two stops that are not traditional powerhouse programs and has been HC. Yeah, I'll take that.

Now do Tim Banks

 

[peaygolf]

I actually want Ole Miss to win. What poetic justice for Kiffin's players to win it without him. It would be one of my non-Tennessee favorite things ever to happen in college football!

If it was anyone else except an SEC team…. I would agree. But Ole Miss???
I can’t

Not bad. The outlier is 2020, and that should have a * next to it.

Yes. It's astonishing that once he got into the Big Loser Conference, which only has two teams with legit offenses, his defenses suddenly ranked better statistically.

 

[gordonr24]

He used to post on VN years ago. I don’t think he’s connected and is just saying things to rile folks up. Someone correct me if I’m mistaken.

 

[MarcoVol]

Who you want as DC?

Since good D vs B10 doesn’t count, that means Knowles and Matt Patricia out

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Dang.... I worked right through it.

 

[SmyrnaATLVolisback]

Yeah no one should have 2020 count against them for anything. BS year

 

[Batman1948]

Just from reading most of the posts about Banks, I believe 90% of the people in here are gonna sh*t little green turds when our next DC is named.

Gotta love our keyboard coaches and their knowledge of all things related to any sport
