Tennessee’s defense has been nothing short of spectacular this season — and much of the credit goes to defensive coordinator Tim Banks. After an impressive year, Banks has caught the attention of major programs, with reports suggesting that his time in Knoxville could be coming to an end.
While the Vols’ defense faced a tough outing against Ohio State in the College Football Playoff, they’ve been electric throughout the season, and Banks has been at the helm of that success. But now, it’s reported that two powerhouse programs, Miami and Clemson, are vying for his services.
Miami is eyeing Banks to potentially take over their defense under head coach Mario Cristobal, while Clemson is reportedly preparing to offer him their defensive coordinator position, following Wes Goodwin’s departure. With these high-profile teams in the mix, the Vols could be at risk of losing one of their most valuable assistants.
Will Josh Heupel be able to keep his top defensive mind in Knoxville, or will Banks take the leap to a new challenge? This situation is heating up, and it’s one to watch closely!
