Josh Heupel guided Tennessee to a 7-5 (4-4 SEC) regular season record in his first season as the Vols’ head coach in 2021.
Heupel came to Tennessee after launching his head coaching career at UCF and as a longtime assistant and national championship quarterback at Oklahoma.
Oklahoma is searching to fill its vacant head coaching position following Lincoln Riley leaving the Sooners in the same capacity at USC.
On Tuesday, Heupel discussed wanting to be at Tennessee on the “Erik Ainge Show.”
“We absolutely love Tennessee and believe what we’re going to be building here and can’t be happier and more excited about what we’re going to be able to do next year and in the coming years,” Heupel told the former UT quarterback.
