Tennessee has an offense that can score with nearly any team in the country. However, in the team’s two losses this year, the Volunteers have allowed 81 points to Georgia and Auburn.
The Volunteers were in action on Saturday night against Kentucky team that has struggled on offense all year long. They did get a pick-6 from Edrees Farooq, but the Wildcats have been able to move the ball consistently on the defense. To end the first half, the Wildcats went on a 16-play, 96-yard drive that took 8:35 and was capped off by a Cutter Boley touchdown pass to J.J. Hester
Fans are at a breaking point with defensive coordinator Tim Banks, and they are letting him have it on social media.
For the love of everything holy FIRE TIM BANKS!!!!!!!!

— UTK Aero (@MrChrisByrd) October 26, 2025Economy must be great because Tim Banks is still employed.
— The Average Vols Fan (@BasedVols) October 26, 2025I don’t think Tim Banks takes into consideration the yards to gain on third down. Maybe Tim Banks doesn’t fully understand football?? Maybe Tim Banks thinks keeping our defense on the field means we’re winning??I’m at a loss for what goes through Tim Banks mind.

— VolRob24 (@VolRob24) October 26, 2025If Tim Banks could call a good third down defense, Tennessee would be undefeated by a comfortable margin.
— RyteSideUp (@RyteSideUp) October 26, 2025Tim Banks getting outschemed by UK’s OC should be enough in itself to be fired. Banks is atrocious
— Josh Hamlin (@Coach_Hamlin) October 26, 2025Leave Tim Banks in Lexington
— Drew 2: Electric Boogaloo (@boogaloo_Vols) October 26, 2025Tim Banks defense really isn’t that good. The schemes. Positioning. Jus not good #vols
— MarkBinShip (@MarkBinShip) October 26, 2025Tim Banks has to go! Enough. We are never going to contend with no defense. He’s not the guy. @coachjoshheupel @AD_DannyWhite
— Ben Hogan (@BenHoganLegend) October 26, 2025Entering Saturday night, the Wildcats had scored 14 points or fewer in three consecutive SEC games. Banks has been the defensive coordinator and safeties coach in Knoxville since 2021, and fans are calling for his time to be up.
The Volunteers still have a legitimate shot to make it to the College Football Playoff, but the defense is going to need to start playing better if they are going to be able to beat teams like Oklahoma and Vanderbilt down the stretch.
Tennessee took a 35-21 lead over Kentucky into the halftime break.
