In a strategic move that aligns with his coaching philosophy and personal history, Tennessee Volunteers head coach Josh Heupel has added former Oklahoma Sooners offensive coordinator Seth Littrell to his staff. Littrell, who served as North Texas’ head coach from 2016 to 2022, brings a wealth of experience to the Volunteers. His hiring is particularly significant given his longstanding relationship with Heupel; the two were teammates at Oklahoma in 1999 and 2000, fostering a deep mutual understanding and respect. citeturn0search3
This addition is part of Heupel’s broader strategy to enhance Tennessee’s offensive capabilities. By integrating Littrell’s insights and expertise, Heupel aims to refine the Volunteers’ offensive strategies, drawing from both their shared history and Littrell’s extensive coaching background. This under-the-radar move underscores Heupel’s commitment to building a cohesive and dynamic coaching staff, poised to drive Tennessee’s football program forward.
