In a stunning development just minutes ago, the Tennessee Volunteers announced the hiring of legendary coach Mack Brown as their new Special Quarterbacks Coach. The former Texas Longhorns head coach, who led Texas to a national championship in 2005, is returning to the college football spotlight in a surprise move that’s sending shockwaves through the SEC.
Brown, 73, most recently coached at North Carolina before stepping away from head coaching duties in 2023. Known for his quarterback development and offensive acumen, his addition to the Volunteers’ staff brings a wealth of experience and credibility to a program on the rise.
“This is about helping young quarterbacks grow and thrive in a competitive league,” Brown said in a brief statement. “Tennessee has great talent, and I’m excited to contribute in a new way.”
Vols head coach Josh Heupel praised the hire, calling Brown “a mentor, a leader, and one of the sharpest minds in the game.” With the quarterback position crucial to Tennessee’s title hopes, the move signals an aggressive push toward playoff contention.
While the role is non-head coaching, Mack Brown’s presence in Knoxville could be a game-changer. Fans and analysts alike are watching closely.
