ESPN has been taking a look down the road this offseason, rankings several units and position groups in a three-year scope. Last week they took on the offenses, so of course Tennessee made the cut.
It’s hard to believe now, but the Volunteers were quite literally at the bottom of the barrell during the 2020 season. Points and yards were always a struggle, as Jim Chaney’s offensive scheme wasn’t exactly featuring groundbreaking stuff. Jeremy Pruitt was fired, and incoming athletics director Danny White knew what he needed to do.
White aimed to replicate his success at UCF, opting to simply bring his football coach with him to Knoxville.
