We all knew that Tennessee and Josh Heupel were going to move quickly to hire a new defensive coordinator, but did anyone think things would get done this fast? In a blockbuster move, Tennessee is reportedly set to hire Jim Knowles to replace Tim Banks. CBS' Matt Zenitz was first on the news.
From our chair, this is a home-run hire for the Vols, as Knowles helped Ohio State win the National Championship last year before joining James Franklin's staff at Penn State this season. Obviously, a lot has changed since he left Columbus.
