Tennessee adds Kim English to the coaching staff

The departure of Rob Lanier to Georgia State was a big loss for Rick Barnes. Lanier had been his right hand man since Barnes’ days in Austin with the Longhorns.

After entertaining taking the UCLA job over the weekend, Barnes ended up staying in Knoxville with the Volunteers. We don’t know what his new deal with Tennessee looks like just yet, but you can probably assume he got the resources needed to replace Lanier with whomever he wanted.

According to 247 Sports and now Jeff Goodman, that replacement will be Kim English.

English was hired as an assistant by Frank Haith at Tulsa in 2015.
