After adding Rock Gullickson as strength and conditioning coach, the changes on Rocky Top continued this morning with the announcement of Charlton Warren as Tennessee’s new defensive backs coach. This ends Willie Martinez’s tenure after four years with Butch Jones.
Warren comes to Tennessee from North Carolina, having served as their defensive backs coach the last two seasons. Before that he was on Bo Pelini’s final staff at Nebraska in 2014 in the same role after spending nine years at Air Force, including the last two as defensive coordinator.
The Tar Heels gave up only 11 passing touchdowns last fall, tied for the fourth-fewest in the nation, and only 17 the year before.
