Penn State defensive coordinator Bob Shoop has agreed in principle to become Tennessee's newest coordinator, the university announced Saturday evening.
The move comes just three days after Tennessee parted ways with defensive coordinator John Jancek.
"We are very excited about the addition of Bob Shoop to our coaching staff," Volunteers coach Butch Jones said in a statement. "Bob has established himself as one of the premier coordinators in all of college football and is very well-respected as a recruiter, football coach and person. He brings a wealth of experience at the highest level and possesses all the qualities we were looking for as we went through this process.
