Tim Banks

[bpalmer28]

Best play of the night was the one that irritated me the most. Why were we trying to cover the best WR in college football with a linebacker?



And if we can’t get QB pressure against elite teams with James Pearce Jr and Joshua Josephs on the roster, how will this defense ever get pressure against elite teams?

He left Joseph in zone covering Henderson on a wheel route before that. We couldn’t get to the QB with the front four so instead bringing an extra rusher or two he plays one of our best edge rushers in coverage. Makes zero sense.

I thought this was going to be a portal announcement........

I can't stand Tim Banks. I have never liked him.

We will never win a championship with this defensive coordinator. This is my annual post for the last three years not proud of it, but it’s just a fact.

0 : 21 in 1st quarter...

Fact

Banks never makes adjustments… This was a replay of the Georgia game from that standpoint. If you can’t generate pressure on the 1st 3 or 4 drives with the 1st four, then it may be time to bring some blitzes. He didn’t in either game, but I’m not sure it would’ve made a difference against Ohio state, they just had better players than we did.

It is a pattern. We keep getting exploited and can’t adjust. See Florida the last two years

We talk trash about Chavis a lot but he came up with some good and creative blitz packages. How many sacks has our linebackers had this season? When was the last time we saw a safety blitz? If we’re gonna put our corners on islands and refuse to cover the flat we need to be bringing pressure every play.

Banks is a multi-millionaire coach. Think about that.

Yep, and not worth 100, 000

That it is

Yet he is a major reason we won 10 games.

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

So are we back to fire Tim Banks? It's hard to keep up.

And?

So what? What is there to think about?

 

[Volbrando]

When has TN had a good pass defense since Banks has been there?

Exactly.

He’s still a fraud in my opinion. We had a good Dline. That helped in some games, but for some reason, didn’t in others and he doesn’t adjust things

When has the talent, he is a very good coach. When you don't have very good talent at every position, no one is a very good coach. He does not yet have enough talent at LB and Safety to compete for the National championship

 

[TartanTurff]

Why do we have a walk on in the defensive backfield, great kid, plays hard but we don't have a scholarship athlete to support that role?

 

[orangemadam]

Tim Banks is an adequate DC with average assistants with the possibility of Garner being
a somewhat above average DL coach. Our biggest defensive problem is that we have almost
never had above average LB group. Our secondary is almost always average with one or two
very good players that don't always play to their potential (coaching?)

The biggest misses of the past years. Bring back the LB Corps and the ones everybody fears. We had no solution or plug and play after Pili got hurt. Al Wilson types, Kiner, Reynolds types. Raw Red meat Eating players.
Other than that Banks called a terrible game last night. God awful game. Put our DBs in sets on island which did not go well with zero pass rush. Get a Leonard Little. I want hunger and confidence. This line has looked intimidated against high caliber players.
How many stunts last night? No creativity whatsoever.

I’ve never suggested that but today for the first time I’m considering the possibility that the haters are right. Did we get a hand on the QB all night besides the one that grabbed his face mask? Their leading rusher had 8 ypc. I just want to know what we were trying to accomplish on either side of the ball. I’m ok with getting beat by a better team, and clearly Ohio was better, but did we try anything special to disrupt Howard or shut down Jeremiah Smith or shut down the run game? Or we just play cover 2 man all night and hope for the best?

He had a LINEBACKER covering JEREMIAH SMITH
