Tennessee football is hiring former UConn staffer Andrew Goodman as its new Director of Football Operations, according to Matt Zenitz of On3 Sports.

Tennessee is expected to hire UConn’s Andrew Goodman as director of football operations, sources tell @on3sports.
Goodman, a former Penn State receiver and staffer, helped UConn win six games in Year 1 under Jim Mora, its highest win total since 2015.https://t.co/anoAqZTjyc pic.twitter.com/38Tkb7G5Nf

Goodman also served as the recruiting coordinator for Penn State after his playing days in Happy Valley. He will oversee the operations of a football program that is at a height it hasn’t been at in a long time, with Tennessee having won 11 games last season.
The Vols only played 1 bad game in 2022 against South Carolina, but were well within the hunt for the College Football Playoff all season until the penultimate game against the Gamecocks.
This news comes after both Josh Heupel and Danny White received new contracts and pay raises.

Tennessee sportsbooks are live in the Volunteer state since November 1, 2020. Tennessee was the first SEC state to legalize sports betting.
Hopefully he is a good hire and will continue the upward trend of UT football. I think it is great to have former players in the hierarchy. They bring the actual experience needed to relate and understand the players point of view.
HUGE GET!!! THIS WILL HELP THE VOLS MOVE PAST 1998!!!

Anybody see the Vols vs pups bball game? That was a beat down pups pushed down court after Tn quit to only get beat by 29. Not 14. Smokey had Uga by the neck shaking him
It’s only going to get better at Tennessee. The Vols have the best AD not only in the SEC but probably in the entire country. The athletic program at Tennessee is rocketing.

I’ve been alive long enough to have watched UGA suck and win nothing.
It’s Georgia’s time to shine. No doubt.
