Banks fielded a top 10 regular season rush defense this season according to Fox Sports. Not sure if the rumors about him coming to Clemson bear any credibility but seems like he could really help us out

Hows his pass defense look?
Hows the sacks and turnover couldn't look?
How many tackles do they miss?
How penalized are they?
I'm not sure Banks is the dude when you look at his body of work. Maybe he ends up like Venables though, i thought the same about Brent when Dabo hired him.

Good in all of those areas as well. Only area of suspect has been DBs. Hang on to Mike Reed and it’s looking great.

I haven't looked into him alot. I just know I was never wowed when watching their big games. From what I remember which does not excite me tbh they play a bend but dont break style.
If you've followed them or watched more of their games how would you describe his philosophy?

He is not the answer. Tennessee fans hate him, and he and Heupel have constantly butted heads because of the soft zone they run. In 4 years as Tennessee D coordinator they've only cracked the top 20 in total Defense once.

And that’s only because the SEC has no offense
