Kodi Burns is officially on his way to the NFL ranks. The now former Tennessee wide receivers coach accepted the wide receivers coach job with the New Orleans Saints on Monday, joining Dennis Allen’s new staff.
Burns confirmed the news himself, releasing a farewell to Tennessee fans via Twitter.
I am grateful to Coach Heupel, our players and all of Vol Nation for the incredible experience this past year at Tennessee. We established a strong foundation, set school offensive records and built relationships that will last a lifetime. As I embark on a dream of coaching in the NFL, I can’t wait to see the continued growth of the program under Coach Heupel.
