Tennessee coach Butch Jones announced three changes to his staff on Friday. Tight ends and special teams coach Larry Scott has been promoted to offensive coordinator. Mike Canales is joining the staff as the new quarterbacks coach, which was the responsibility of former offensive coordinator Mike DeBord. Special teams duties will now be handled by Charlton Warren, who also coaches defensive backs.

“We spoke to a lot of very quality candidates,” Jones said in a school release. “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.

“Larry played an important role in the success we had offensively last year and was heavily involved in all aspects of our game plan, both during the week and on game day. We felt it was vital to maintain our continuity on offense and keep building on what we have established the past four seasons.”

Scott joined the staff this season after serving the previous three years at Miami. He was interim head coach after the Hurricanes dismissed Al Golden. Canales was most recently on the staff at Utah State as running backs and tight ends coach. He spent the 2010-15 seasons as head coach, offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at North Texas.

“I’m also really excited about adding Mike Canales to our staff,” Jones said. “Mike has recruited, coached and developed numerous quarterbacks at the collegiate level. He will be of great benefit to our players and staff with his extensive experience and knowledge of the quarterback position.”
