As expected, Tennessee announced Friday that tight ends coach Butch Jones was being promoted to offensive coordinator. Tennessee coach Butch Jones also officially announced the hiring of secondary coach Charlton Warren and quarterback coach Mike Canales.
“We spoke to a lot of very quality candidates,” Jones said in a release announcing the moves. “Our goal was to gather as much information as possible in a timely manner but also go through a detailed process, which we did. We feel strongly about our offensive staff and that Larry Scott is the best fit moving forward to lead the unit.
