Discussing filling Tennessee’s assistant coach vacancy, shuffling staff

Discussing filling Tennessee’s assistant coach vacancy and possibly shuffling the Vols’ staff.

Tennessee wide receivers coach Kodi Burns has joined the New Orleans Saints’ coaching staff in the same capacity.

Second-year Tennessee head coach Josh Heupel will look to fill Burns’ vacancy on his staff.

On Wednesday, a topic of discussion Vols Wire had on Fox Sports Knoxville’s “The Drive,” was coaches who could be viable options on Heupel’s staff in filling Burns’ vacancy.

Below were topics of discussion if Heupel were to hire or promote a wide receivers coach.

Another option would be to move running backs coach Jerry Mack to overseeing wide receivers. Mack played wide receiver at Jackson State. He coached wide receivers at Jackson State, Central Arkansas, Memphis and South Alabama.
