Improved Defense?

[WiseOlVol]

In 2022 Vols gave up 23.5 points and 398 yards per game.

In 2023 Vols gave up 21.8 points and 352 yards per game.

Clearly, our personnel are not up to SEC standard.

Must open up the $NIL and go shopping. Texas AM, LSU and Florida are good places to look.

Should Coach Banks have had a job after bama?

If I were Heupel I would have gotten the Rolodex out in the first year after Banks NEVER made an adjustment in that OM game to Corral running QB draw.

 

[Doberman]

Banks is truly a weak link.

No chance Huepel cans him, however.

Hes owed 1.5 million. If Heupel doesnt have the stones then he can get the hell out and go coach in SD.

Georgia techs Head coach kept it close. Should coach Banks be held to the same standards

I’d have fired him last year. Heupel ain’t gonna pull the trigger, though.

Georgia Tech kept it close to what? Also before you respond, GT demoted their DC midseason this year. I’m fine with holding Banks to that standard and then firing him after the bowl game.

No

Then Saban and Kirby and eventually Stoops/ Drink / and Kiffin will all eat him alive. If he doesn’t want to deal with these decisions he should have just stayed a coordinator.

 

[Manning4ever]

The fact that Ga struggled against Ga tech should exclude them from the cfp playoffs. If they beat Bama in the Sec championships, which they won't. The fact they won a few games should not matter. Michigan #1, Fsu #2, Washington #3, Ohio st #4

 

[Rocky Top T]

If Banks is here next year, look for 7-8 wins. Fire him!

 

[ChrisVFL]

If Heup was to let Banks go hypothetically, who does he replace him with to keep up the momentum? Who is willing to come to Tn to coach this defense realistically?

Does Banks coach offense?

 

[volKano]

Our offense has a say in those numbers as well. We averaged 15 points more per game and had around 80 more first downs for the season. That keeps the Defense on the sideline more and forces teams to be one dimensional.…and don’t forget to add in all the injuries. We aren’t a top 10 defense but we did play better this year overall.

We will have better QB play. 8 wins is the floor.

Ga tech kept it within 10. 8 points exactly. I believe we are a better team at home than Ga tech. Mizzouri only lost by 9. Maybe they were not taking the yellow jackets seriously but we lost by alot more. 7 straight losses is a problem considering the fact Ga plays nobody

 

[Manning4ever]

Does Banks coach offense?

No he just coaches the defense. The aspect of our team that consistently loses. Bama was a win until the second half

 

[Manning4ever]

If I here one more person say that ga has 3 undefeated regular seasons I will scream. Yes they beat everyone but Alabama in the sec championship. 29 straight games don't matter when you play nobody. Kirby hasn't done anything thats why they have no Heisman trophies

 

[Other_Guy]

And if most of the OL, TEs and Wright are gone?

Yea, Ladd Mconkey, Brock Bowers, and a few others didn’t play tonight.

Just stop.

 

[Rocky Top T]

That could be true, but I still don't Banks is any good

 

[Manning4ever]

Just stop.

Alabama easily wins the SEC. Michigan walks thru them in the Playoff game, everyone knows that Washington and Fsu could destroy them.
