Tennessee announced Wednesday that it has hired Kevin Beard as its new wide receivers coach.
Beard, 36, replaces Zach Azzanni who recently left to become the Chicago Bears’ new wide receivers coach.
“Coach Beard is a young, energetic football coach that has championship pedigree from his college playing days,” Volunteers coach Butch Jones said in a statement. “He will do a great job working with our receivers and be a huge asset on the recruiting trail.”
Beard had been the wide receivers coach at Florida International since December when he was hired by new Florida International coach Butch Davis.
