Tim Banks is gone

[rocketskates]

Exactly . These people don't know football. Martinez is ok

For whatever reason, many people are under the impression that Martinez coaches the safeties, when he doesn’t. That was Banks. Despite our injuries, the safeties were the weak point of our defense this year.

The new dc can fire everyone except RG.

Agreed!

 

[jwells]

Prepare for an underwhelming hire unless the boosters are really going all in and pony up the green for a big name.

Read we owe him a little more than $4.5M. $2M/year puts you in the top 10 pay range.

Even more reason to go cheap

 

[marvin616]

Damn this is pretty dark. Yeah I laughed, well done lol

I had a boss once that I really got along with. Every time he said he needed to talk to me, I would say, do you want me to tell you about the rabbits? Joking that he was going to hand me a pink slip.

 

[deatojl]

Can't be true, I have been assured Josh Heupel refuses to fire his buddies.

It came from Adidas. They threatened to pull the sponsorship if Banks wasn’t gone. Adidas is known as a defensive bra

@GAVol

Why did you like this?

You truly believe Adidas can call coaching decisions?

Curious on your take.

 

[Titans4Vols]

Ryan Walters or Jim Knowles, that’s the list.

This fan base couldn't handle this bad year from Banks, they'll be running Knowles out after his first year too, especially given what his salary would be. It's taken a couple years for him to get his defense going at each spot he's been.

 

[deatojl]

And we only played 2 good offenses last year and they dominated us

Still running with this incorrect narrative?

 

[jasonvol18]

Yeah, I hate coaches who develop 3*s into day 1 draft picks.

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.

 

[UTwild82]

No more Penn St coordinators after Shoop and Banks.

 

[rocketskates]

I’m wondering if he isn’t just as annoyed that so many of OK’s fans threatened to replace him with our head coach. Offer him a HC salary with DC responsibilities and he might leave tonight.

The Red Skull doesn’t care…

Need to get rid of Halzle as well

That would be the most bizarre thing I’ve ever seen. Top 3 offense in the country, but you get the axe.

It's not incorrect. Ala,Fla,Ky,Arky,Miss St and all 4 non conference offense's sucked. Which of those teams had a great offense. Definitely not ALa, seeing as how they demoted their OC. Can't wait to hear this answer! I've looked at last year's offensive rankings, I suggest you do before responding!

 

[miket4god]

Yeah cause the #1 scoring offense in the SEC is not good enough dadgum it.

Because it was obviously sarcasm

 

[Tnphil]

Can't be true, I have been assured Josh Heupel refuses to fire his buddies.

Banks didn't come with him from UCF...and last I checked he wasn't in Heupel's wedding. Lol

 

[bpalmer28]

Interesting. So last year it HAS to have been about the Jimmies and Joes, because Banks is an idiot. But this year it was obviously about the Xs and Os. In other words, last year the defense was good in spite of him, but this year they couldn't overcome his ineptness. (Somehow that comes back to the players just not executing if you ask me though.)

What a fickle bunch we are. Wouldn't it be funny (sad) if Vandy picked him up (I have no idea whether they are in need or not) and they would up kicking our ass next year?)

I think it’s about the Jimmies and Joes but whose responsibility is that? We are inept at DT, LB, and S. Someone has to be responsible for mismanaging the roster.

Agreed. This place

Or like me, he appreciates good sarcasm?

Maaaaaannnnnn it’s Monday.

Don’t make we read jokes. I ain’t even had lunch yet.

I’m not braining yet.

 

[IndianaVol]

Missed the boat on Zach Arnett, so go after Knowles, Haynes (although he's not leaving IU), Shiel Wood.
Maybe able to get Kwiatkowski from Texas is the Sark bails for NFL.

IF you stay in house it has to be Inge.
I feel like Inge wanted to be more forceful with discipline but also didn't want to overstep his boss.

Other than that - who are the realistic candidates?
