Tennessee head coach Josh Heupel met with media for a final time on Sunday ahead of the Cheez-It Citrus Bowl against Iowa.
Heupel served as UCF’s head coach from 2018-20. He compiled a 28-8 record and won the American Athletic Conference championship in 2018.
Heupel was asked about how he has changed in his time at Tennessee since he left Orlando and UCF.
“No matter what role you are in or whatever profession you are in, you continue to learn how to become a better communicator, how to impact the people around you in a positive way,” Heupel said. “You continue to refine what you are doing inside of your program 365 days out of the year to allow kids to go be their best and create a culture that they enjoy being and love competing in. Just continue to do that. You learn so much. As a leader of the program, you learn so much from the people around you, and in particular student-athletes. Those guys have been instrumental in the growth of who we are and what we do.”
