I am ambivalent about this today. He has a ways to go to get me positive about his job performance.

I understand this point of view. But that is true for the entire coaching staff including Heupel. I think Heupel is growing as a head coach but he has a ways to go to win night games on the road against good competition.

Ask Ohio State and Georgia if they think we are elite on defense. I doubt they would agree

We still need better players to compete with the best. It’s all about first, alignment and then assignment. That goes with any sport. We just don’t have enough dogs yet and you can’t develop most of your roster these days because of the transfer portal.

Agree here. Without Garner Banks looks even more mediocre. Banks cannot game scheme he cannot adjust in games which is why he is not that good. Also he is safety coach that is his specialty and his position he also coaches how has our safeties been? Mediocre is what I’m sure most will say if truthful so again I ask why? I truly don’t think worth the money. Wish him all the best while he’s here just think he is getting credit that he truly hasn’t earned with our Garner

This is spot on!!! I can't believe the lack of perception on this board!!! Banks isn't all that! Definitely not a top 5 DC in college football! Probably isn't even top 25 with Garner not on the staff!

Interesting that Penn St stole Ohio St's DC.

Elite defenses aren’t going to let even juggernaut offenses name the score on them. Our defense was not elite. It was good, but it wasn’t elite.

Trying to argue that “the winner of the Tennessee-Georgia game is not always the best team on the field” when they have absolutely destroyed us for 8 years and running and had the better team each and every time is also a hilarious thing for a person to say.

No it is not. I guess you haven't seen enough UT/UGA games to know better. I have been watching the Vols, and college football lin general, since the 80's and have seen all the ups and downs. In big rivalry games, which team is better does not always guarantee anything. Last few times we lost to UF we wee the better team but we cant beat any of the big 3 on their home feilds.

Ask your grandmother if you might be underestimating how talent affects performance.
