Josh Heupel is in his first season as Tennessee’s head coach.
Heupel comes to Tennessee as one of college football’s most innovative offensive minds.
Following Tennessee’s seventh practice and first spring scrimmage, Heupel detailed what he is looking for in a quarterback.
“We’ve had tall ones, short ones, fast ones, and we’ve had guys that did not run quite as fast and some others moved around like probably I did back in the day, it doesn’t matter,” Heupel said. “They’re accurate. Some of them had huge arms and some of them have been really great with their timing.
“To me, it’s about the intangibles. You’ve got to be smart. You’ve got to be competitive, willing to go lay it on the line every single day, 365 days out of the year. You’ve got to be able to demand it from the guy that’s next to you. Those intangible things are what we’re looking for in our quarterback here at Tennessee. We’re going to find it, and it’s going to be a guy that’s going to help lead us to a championship.”
