According to ESPN’s Chris Low, Tim Banks will sign an extension to keep him as the Tennessee defensive coordinator. Banks has been a Broyles Award finalist in years past and seen his name pop up in the coaching carousel. But this will end any kind of rumors, keeping him on Rocky Top for the foreseeable future.
“Tim Banks and Tennessee are finalizing an extension for him to remain as @Vol_Football’s defensive coordinator, sources tell ESPN,” Low said. “Banks, a Broyles Award finalist, led one of the top defenses in college football last season, holding 11 of 13 opponents under 20 points.”
