New Tennessee football coach Josh Heupel has not retained a pair of former Vols' assistants, offensive coordinator Jim Chaney and quarterbacks coach Chris Weinke.
Heupel informed Chaney and Weinke on Friday morning that he would not be keeping them on staff, meaning Chaney is owed $1.7 million on the remaining portion of his contract and Weinke $450,000. Both of those figures could be mitigated if either coach takes another job.
Kevin Steele, who was named acting head coach by university chancellor Donde Plowman following the firing of Jeremy Pruitt, currently remains on staff. Steele was hired as a defensive assistant on Jan.
