Fourth-year Tennessee head coach Josh Heupel earned coaching honors after the Vols’, 24-17, win versus Alabama in Week 8.
Heupel was named Dodd Trophy Coach of the Week on Tuesday.
“Coach Heupel and his Volunteers made a statement on Saturday,” Jim Terry, chairman of the Bobby Dodd Coach of the Year Foundation, said. “The Volunteers have seen a resurgence since he took over in 2021, and they look poised to have another big season under his leadership.”
Heupel has also been named to the Dodd Trophy Midseason Watch List.
The Vols have wins over Chattanooga, North Carolina State, Kent State, Oklahoma, Florida and Alabama this season. Tennessee suffered its only loss at Arkansas on Oct. 5.
Tennessee has its second and final open date on Saturday in Week 9. The Vols will return to action against Kentucky on Nov. 2 at Neyland Stadium.
