Washington DC Walters is a name to watch

[Smokymtnbullet]

But he's a former Vol and bleeds orange. That alone will make success a certainty and strike fear in the hearts of all our foes....as long as they back up the brinks truck and make him the highest paid DC in college football because we all know throwing obscene money and a player or coach makes them oh so much better. Yessir....that's a helluva plan.

Yep makes about as much sense as hiring Peyton as OC or Bill Belechek as head coach.

 

[Stoked]

Didn't take long to sell me on Walters. Maybe he can bring Gavin Day the #7 safety in the 2026 class with him...

 

[Bledsoevol]

Great hire , Heupel w a big upgrade

Better than Banks

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Maybe a long shot but what would it hurt contacting Jerod Mayo and seeing if he would be interested in returning Rocky Top

Explain how Mayo is an upgrade over Banks using actual stats.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Better than Banks

We hope

 

[Walkman]

Walters would be a huge upgrade to our defense and team. He brings a lot of energy and lots of success as a DC/play caller. GBO!

Watching the Oregon and Ohio State games this year Walters Defense held them to 26 and 24 points. What’s more impressive is he did this with a DL that was not particularly talented or explosive. Can’t wait to see what he’ll do with a Rodney Garner DL

 

[VolForLife83]

Muschamp asked to be removed from on the field coaching and be an analyst. That’s who you want lol

Was probably a game away from a stroke lol.

 

[EtowahVol]

He needed to let Banks go. He’s been looking for his guy a while imo

Don't go there

 

[bpalmer28]

UT is paying twice as much as all but 3 current SEC DC's at $2.5M, I had no idea. Well, just pick one and double his salary, Auburn, Missouri, Texas.

That's what I'm saying! We should be able to hire just about whoever we want.

 

[bpalmer28]

I'm leaning toward Derek Mason

 

[farmdogvol]

Muschamp or Derek Mason

Muschamp has pretty much retired.

 

[bpalmer28]

We hope

Bingo. There are no guarantees in this world. Penn State hired who they thought was the best DC in the country last year. A few months later Nico Iamaleava scored 42 points on them and the HC was fired.

"Walters molds everything around his players’ strengths—he’s not married to one system."
Please please please!!!

Polygamist defensive approach??

 

[VOLociraptorr]

Walters D only gave up 24 to Ohio State (The most allowed all year was 26 to Oregon)

Banks gave up 24 to UAB

Yeah but look at that clean shaven face. That ref is going to defer to him on the next penalty flag.

Just a Tool

Banks gave up 24 to UAB

He also had the #1 scoring defense in the country just 3 years ago. Wasn't very good as a HC at Purdue... but we aren't looking for a HC. Walters, Mason, Durkin... that's my list.

I was always waiting for the vein in his neck to explode.

Banks gave up 24 to UAB

That is striking.

 

[mprock]

We don’t need Mason.see what he is doing at MTSU. He should have been let go this year at Middle.

I don’t have the stats. I just remember watching him play and how he was one of leaders of some great defenses. Also has a Super Bowl ring.

I know he was the linebacker coach under Bill Belichick and was promoted by the Patriots to the head coach as Belichicks successor. Didn’t work out great for him but how much change can a head coach make in one year,

Google can tell you all about it especially the AI thing they have now. I think he would be a absolute fantastic hire.

 

[temptn]

Muschamp or Derek Mason

I cringe every time I see Muschamp.
.

 

[Volwonder1]

Because he’s never been a dc?

He’s actually a highly sought and respected coach wanting to get back into coaching after as an assistant or coordinator.
He was the linebacker coach under Bill Belichick and was Belichicks successor as head coach of the patriots.

Opportunistic approach.
