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.
