The Tennessee football Volunteers need reassurance they have the right OC.

When Phillip Fulmer made Jim Chaney one of the highest-paid assistants in the country, you can bet he envisioned CHany sticking around for some time with Tennessee football. Why else would he make $1.5 million and become the nation’s highest-paid offensive coordinator?

In his second year back in Knoxville, though, alongside head coach Jeremy Pruitt, Chaney has some work to do.
