The Tennessee Volunteers are undergoing a major change with their offense this fall, going from Tyson Helton to Jim Chaney at offensive coordinator.

Chaney has experience at Tennessee, serving as the Vols’ OC during the Lane Kiffin years, but this will be his first chance to work with QB Jarrett Guarantano.

In a recent conversation with Buck Reising of AtoZSports, former Tennessee QB Jonathan Crompton discussed Chaney’s impact on his own career and what Guarantano can expect (via RockyTopInsider):

“I wish I had had (Chaney) for more than a year because then I would’ve reaped more benefits than him than I did any other coaches,” Crompton told Reising. “That’s the thing that Guarantano’s got an advantage with. He’s got two years with him, which is definitely a plus, I’m telling you.

“I’ve been fortunate/unfortunate to be around a lot of coaches, especially in my time at Tennessee. There are good coaches, there’s okay coaches, and there’s not so good coaches in different aspects of the game. There are coaches that will say ‘throw the ball here no matter what.’ That’s not good coaching. What you’re going to get with Coach Chaney is detail-oriented ‘why we want to throw this route vs. this coverage.’ So it’s going to be an understanding of the game, not just ‘we’re going to throw this route no matter what because we have a better athlete than you, and I’m not going to teach you anything about playing quarterback.’ That’s not what he’s going to get.”

It seems Chaney is already making a lot of friends at Tennessee, so it’ll be interesting to see his offense in action this fall.
