Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[Weezer]

TIFWIW

What does it say about us when reporters act like becoming the DC of an ACC team would be a "step up"? FFS, he's supposedly in the running for both Miami and Clemson? Are we really that undesirable a place to be?? This **** pisses me off.

I was just about to edit the post and say this.

It gives Chop a spot on the field with one less guy.

What position would he coach?

 

[Checker_the_Shire]

hard to believe we wouldnt pay. we have the money. always thought he was happy here?

More money is more money.

We’ve had our own player families openly tweet at us to basically calm down and STFU. That should tell you something about what it’s like to coach here.

Well if you're comparing anything to Arkansas...

That said, there are some very pretty areas of Tennessee, mosltly in ET. Also some very flat and boring areas. But not the level of diversity overall.

Agree with McGill, the diversity out west is astounding. Also the advantage of being a huge (geographically) state, CA. You have the massive coastline, you have southern parts bordering Mexico, northern parts 15 hours away well in the pacific woods bordering Oregon, massive deserts, Tahoe, Redwoods, Yosemite, beautiful rugged mountains, just a bit of everything.

And the western mountains do hit differently. So big and astounding. Mount Whitney...the face at El Capitan, just nothing like the eastern ridges, which are beautiful in their own ways.

I’m good and have no desire and will enjoy pictures of other places. I know I’m probably missing out, but I’ve seen a small part of our world and I’m done (for now). I’m going to and do enjoy my grandchildren and when the time is right for them, I’ll enjoy sharing with them whatever or wherever I show them. God is great in that he has afforded me opportunity to experience many places and cultures.

Edit: I forgot to reply about Arkansas. There’s nothing good I can say about that place besides my son was born there. Sorry to ones that live there. I hated my time there.

You don't think it's like that at Clemson or Miami? I bet it is.

If Banks leaves I would not be surprised to see Heupel just promote Inge to DC.

Was Co-DC at Washington
Co-DC at Indiana
DC for Buffalo one season

One less guy on the staff makes it easier to find a spot for Chop.

I’m pretty sure AP has said more than once he wouldn’t expect Inge to be the guy if Banks left.

Knowing some clemson mouth breathers, and throwing Yabo in there. They absolutely despise him.

Possibly, but I’ve never heard of Tiger Twitter (Jesus I hope it’s actually called that…) or Cane Twitter, but Vol Twitter is pretty nationally recognized—both for good and bad.

 

[TrippieRedd]

What position would he coach?

Give Garner inside or outside DL

and let Chop handle the other

 

[SoilVol]

I think if Tim Banks leaves for a parallel position we would regret it

That happens at every program where the fans give two $&¡7s. We are far from the first fanbase to call for coaches to be fired. OSU wanted Day gone 2 weeks ago to the point several of them didn’t even show up to the first college playoff game in Columbus.

 

[Ten_Titans]

I'm not worried about Banks.

Flame the **** out of me again if you want to. I don't think "good defense when defensive line plays good, bad defense when defensive line plays bad" is some unbelievable bar in the defensive coordinator market.

In four years I can't think of one game the defense as a whole seemed to grade out better than the Dline unit. Yes, I know winning up front is critical. But it's actually not impossible for the backend to hold up when the QB has time, and I don't know if we've seen that once with our former DB coach defensive coordinator.

Nonetheless, I'm in the minority with this opinion, so I'm surprised he's looking at lateral moves and not a lower level HC job.

Now we’re a cupcake? Geeze

By a team that lost worse than we did. Cupcakes come in a dozen.

 

[Orange.]

Lanning has lost his creativity. Multiple coaches need to be fired. Talent gap was exposed on a national stage. Humiliation. Team will never recover. Oregon NIL is stealing money from their fans. Fans have a right to be pissed and should boycott their own team’s NIL and organize a fan no-show home game. Oregon is doomed to return to its days of mediocrity and obscurity. All their players think about is money. Lanning is not the guy. School should drop football. Baseball school is their only hope. College football is dead.

Spoiler

Am I doing this right?

absolutely

“Hey OSU fans are stupid too so we should feel free to be stupid!!”

I think one of our insiders (@king) addressed this already and it’s not the plan.
Forgive me I got the wrong insider

It’s obvious Banks doesn’t want I be here IF he takes a DC job elsewhere, he could’ve signed his extension when it became obvious a HC gig wasn’t happening.

 

[VolNash17]

Ohio State fans wanted to fire a coach thats won 90% of his games and is a shanked FG away, Bad fumble call from two national championships plus coached in a 3rd… now on their way to a national championship.
Bammers tweeted about Saban and yelled and raged when they lost to Clemson twice in the national championship.
Miami fans want to fire Cristobal who’s got them back to winning 10 games for the 2nd time in 20 years.
LSU fans are done with Brian Kelly and have raged tweeted about that as well
Dawg fans have vented about their coordinators on Twitter repeatedly over the last few years.
This is the life of being a Big time program. Either embrace the expectations or get the hell outta here. Go to the sun belt

 

[marcusluvsvols]

Wow, didn’t see the Texas game that missed targeting call before OT screwed Arizona State

At least all the national TV guys got it right saying ASU was robbed on that blatant targeting flag they picked up with 50 something seconds left in the game...on 3rd down. ASU should have had a 1st down at the TX 40yd line with like 56 seconds left and 1 timeout.

I am sure its little consolation to the ASU fans...but at least they know everyone outside of texas knows they got robbed on that call. Probably 80% chance or better ASU kicks a game winning FG if they don't pick up the flag. They had no answer for Skattebo all day, and momentum was strongly in ASUs favor too...texas had just missed their 2nd FG in a row

 

[Jackcrevol]

does he recruit WR's?

 

[Smokey123]

Banks leaving for another DC job would be very odd and a bad sign

With an easy schedule that we can easily go 10-2 and make the playoffs with a decent defense. Definitely need to try to keep Banks. Restarting the defense would not be good

We cannot let Banks go elsewhere.
