De’Rail Sims was hired as Tennessee’s running backs coach on Feb. 19.
Sims met with media on Monday for the first time while at Tennessee. He discussed his perception of Josh Heupel’s offense.
“My perception of the offense is that it’s always dynamic and physical in terms of the running game,” Sims said. “You sit here and you look at all of the different parts that go with it and the mechanics that make up this offense. It was always one of those ones that gave the defense issues from a lot of different areas.
“I know a lot of people just look at it from the tempo standpoint, but there are a lot of things that go into it that make it hard for the defense to have to defend. It was one of those ones that I wanted to learn, get used to and get comfortable with as well.”
