Coach Banks (for the third time)

It's sad that the only credit Banks gets comes from outside of VolNation. The guy has been constantly improving our defense. Sure, we've seen a couple of outliers, but he has gotten the defense ranked in the top tier where we were 90th in year one. Remember, we were ranked 70th in team defense with Defensive guru Cornbread, BEFORE everyone left when Pruitt got axed. Banks deserves credit.

I will be the first to give Banks some credit. His Defense is really good on 1st and 2nd down.

It's amazing how Vol "fans" want to fire all the coaches, but the coaches get accolades from people that study football. Who knew most of the VN experts didn’t know anything.

lets not get too carried away here. There's 57 nominees. That's almost half of FBS (57/133=42%) this was incorrect

If he was that good, he would be getting a lot more mentions. I guess we will find out when the annual coaching carousel gets spinning.

The bar must be low if you can be awarded for putting forth the defense we saw Saturday against Mizzou. The real headline should read" Missouri running back sets record for total yards in a game--- Vols defense coach credited for stellar defense "
Here's another " Bama scores 28 unanswered points in 2nd half-- Vols lucky to have turned around their defensive struggles from the past "

My ONLY gripe with our defensive staff is our lack of recruiting in the secondary. Everyone wants to jump on Martinez, but playing CB is a tremendous amount of technique, but more so about the skillset of a dude playing the technique.

Shouldn't be. We are still trying to make up ground from a decimated defensive roster. And coach Banks has done a good job of masking deficiencies (until you cant anymore and you have a collapse) and helping this team win and people in the profession recognize that. It's just SOME of our own foolish fanbase that can't see it.
