UPDATED Tim Banks a potential candidate for Miami and Clemson DC

Likely rumor leaked by agent to get him a raise. He's not making a lateral (or even downward) move to be DC at Miami.
Your coords are supposed to be on hotboards. It’s when they are not that it’s a problem. If he makes another lateral move that’s a problem for him.

If the money were the same and I had a decent head coach (Miami does), I would live in Coconut Grove or Coral Gables over Knoxville….tomorrow. Maybe Banks wouldn’t see it as a step down??
Career-wise, it's a downgrade. Forget about Miami being a nice place to live. Being a DC for an SEC team is viewed as a "higher position" than being a DC for an ACC team. He's much less likely to get a HC position at Miami. If it were 2002, maybe, but at this point, the SEC and B1G are viewed as the 'important leagues' and the ACC is viewed as a slight step above a mid-major.

Also seems unlikely he'd take a Miami DC position as a 'lifestyle move' when he's probably hoping for an HC offer in the next year or two.

According to On3, Miami has reached out to Georgia Tech defensive coordinator Tyler Santucci, though the Yellow Jackets' DC is reportedly also in talks with Texas A&M for a similar role.
Cristobal is going to get revenge on Key for helping knock him out of the playoffs. I love the level of petty.

After all the man has done here, this toxic fan base is still calling for his head.

I'd leave too, if I were him.
I think there’s a difference between calling for his head and being apathetic. His D gave up the game winning drive to Arkansas backup QB and had zero sacks TOTAL against Georgia and OSU. His D seems a lot more fearsome when aided by Neyland crowd noise. Not so scary on the road.

I see the complaints about Banks, but man he did enough this year to earn more time. Defense has been improved every year he's been on campus. I'd like to see us get more aggressive but this was a solid year for that side of the football and we wouldn't have made the playoffs without him most likely.

Christobal is maybe the dumbest head coach in the country He was on hot seat before Cam Ward saved his ass this year. Banks might leave for spite (White didn’t renew him last year) but going to a more secure program? Naw

Coaches look at living areas different that you or I would. Most coaches prefer smaller towns to raise their families.

Nothing wrong with a small town. I would prefer Boone or Fairhope Alabama over Miami. I just happen to prefer Miami over Knoxville. Definitely don’t agree that Cristobal is the dumbest. I’ll have to be convinced that it’s not Kelly.
