Following Tennessee’s early exit in the NCAA Tournament, Rick Barnes might just be set to lose one of his top assistant coaches. According to John Brice, who is always plugged into Tennessee athletics, English is the frontrunner for the vacant George Mason job.
The @Vol_Hoops season is done & major changes looming for Rick Barnes’ program. Per multiple sources the past 48 hours, top #Vols assistant Kim English, widely seen as a brilliant up-and-coming coach, is the frontrunner for the George Mason head coaching job. #Vols #RockyTop

Brice went on to say that it would be an “upset” at this point if English didn’t land the job.
