Report: Joe Osovet moving to tight ends coach, Brian Niedermeyer shifting to inside linebackers

Jeremy Pruitt has mentioned in the past that Brian Niedermeyer could coach anywhere on the field. According to a report from VolQuest, that statement will be put to the test.

The report states that Niedermeyer will move to the defensive side of the ball, coaching the inside linebackers in 2020. Joe Osovet, who had been a member of the Tennessee support staff for two seasons, will move to an on-field role, taking over the tight end position.

The move corresponds with inside linebackers and special teams coach Kevin Sherrer moving on to the New York Giants last weekend.
