Former Vol assistants set for return to Tennessee.

NASHVILLE — 2020 National Football League schedules have been released.

This season, the Tennessee Titans will play host to a pair of former Volunteer assistant coaches from Jeremy Pruitt’s 2019 staff.

Inside linebackers coach and special teams coordinator Kevin Sherrer departed the University of Tennessee football program in January to join the New York Giants’ staff. He is serving as New York’s inside linebackers coach.

Sherrer will return to the Volunteer State when the Giants play a Week 2 preseason game in Nashville against Tennessee.

Co-defensive coordinator and outside linebackers coach Chris Rumph also left the Vols’ coaching staff this offseason. Rumph is now serving as outside linebackers coach for the Houston Texans.

Houston will play at Tennessee on Oct. 18 at 1 p.m. ET.
