It’s no secret that Vol Nation had a mixed reaction to Tennessee football hiring UCF Knights head coach Josh Heupel to lead its program. Given the fact that new athletic director Danny White also came from UCF people were also a little suspicious.
However, while most of those upset thought that the Vols could have brought in a bigger name, a couple of legends took the time to tout one of the assistants still on staff.
