I don't think Chop is gonna make it. Don't really understand the hype with that guy anyways. We couldn't set the edge all year long.Would prefer to keep Inge and Chop if possible.
Would really hurt to lose Garner (and I think he and Chop are a package).
Totally fine with replacing Martinez.
Here's what I take from that: He has not talked with UT directly but maybe his people have talked with UT people. Plausible deniability. If he's the guy, nothing will be announced before his bowl game.They play their bowl game this Saturday. That’s the answer that I would expect from him so as not to cause a distraction.
Penn State had the 39th ranked scoring defense in 2016, 6th ranked in 2017, 18th in 2018, and 7th in 2019, 55th in 2020.Tim Banks was a big name? He was like the fifth choice when Heupel brought him onboard. Before coming to Tennessee, Banks had been the primary play caller as a DC for seven seasons, five of those seven seasons his defenses ranked 90th or lower.
Brent Pry was the primary play caller.Penn State had the 39th ranked scoring defense in 2016, 6th ranked in 2017, 18th in 2018, and 7th in 2019, 55th in 2020.
I have no idea where to find who was the primary play caller, but having been paid as DC for two top 10 finishes in a power 5 conference was a pretty big deal.
Need to get rid of Martinez for sureI don't think Chop is gonna make it. Don't really understand the hype with that guy anyways. We couldn't set the edge all year long.
Garner and Inge are retained. I think Martinez is probably retained. Walthers brings in his new outside linebackers/edge coach to replace Chop and coaches safeties.
He’s been talked about by some friends, former players, I met through my jawja family.And you know this how?
Banks wasn’t a big name because he wasn’t the full time DC. Banks was unproven as a full fledged DC. Those years you mentioned? Brent Pry was the primary defensive play caller. Walters is an established DC.Penn State had the 39th ranked scoring defense in 2016, 6th ranked in 2017, 18th in 2018, and 7th in 2019, 55th in 2020.
