Only one name is really buzzing in the Vols’ hunt for a new defensive coordinator—Ryan Walters, the current DC at Washington and a familiar face to Coach Heupel from their days at Missouri and Oklahoma. Walters’ record as a head coach at Purdue wasn’t great, but his defensive chops are legit—just look at Illinois’ top-ranked defense in 2022. With Heupel’s tight-lipped approach, there could be other candidates, but right now, Walters seems like the natural fit. Would you be excited to see Walters bring his defensive style to Knoxville, or are you hoping for a different direction? #Sports #Football #Vols
