Tennessee head coach Josh Heupel made his debut on “Vol Calls” Monday.
Heupel was asked what his ideal timeline is for hiring a staff. The newly-hired Tennessee head coach discussed his plans for an on and off the field staff.
“We had a large staff in Orlando in UCF, and I’m talking about your support staff, you got your 10 main coaches — we’re chipping away at that,” Heupel said. “I like where we’re at, and where we’re heading, with our on-field coaches. At the same time, you’re the CEO of, really in most respects, a large corporation, too, so making sure that your support staff is right, as well, so bit by bit with the people that you feel strongly about and it ends up being the right fit.
“You start moving those guys to Knoxville to help your current players and get their feet on the ground.”
Heupel was hired as the Vols’ head coach on Jan. 27.
