The Miami Hurricanes are in search of a new defensive coordinator and Tennessee Vols defensive coordinator Tim Banks could be a potential option to head to Coral Gables.
Miami is reportedly firing defensive coordinator Lance Guidry after two seasons.
On Tuesday, On3 named Banks as a candidate to replace Guidry while reporting that the fourth-year Tennessee defensive coordinator could be open to listening to a pitch from Miami and head coach Mario Cristobal.
From On3 : One of the hottest defensive coordinator names in the nation, Tim Banks directed a Tennessee defense in 2024 that ranked in the top 10 nationally in total defense. The Volunteers allowed just 293.2 yards and 16.1 points per game. Tennessee struggled against Ohio State in the College Football Playoff, but Banks’ defense shut down the SEC for most of the season. Sources tell On3 that Banks could listen to Miami and Mario Cristobal . In the three previous seasons, the Vols led the SEC in tackles for loss per game with 7.62 and are third in turnovers gained per game with 1.44.
