Tennessee has had an impressive year offensively.
It appears the turnaround in Knoxville is going to cost them a coach.
Brett McMurphy tweets that Vols offensive coordinator Alex Golesh has accepted an offer to be the new head coach at South Florida.
Sources tell FootballScoop that Golesh has been offered the job.
Golesh, who is 38 and a Broyles Award Finalist, has had the coordinator title at both UCF and Tennessee, and has worked with tight ends and running backs at Toledo, Illinois and Iowa State earlier in his career. He started his journey in coaching working as a student assistant at Ohio State before being a graduate assistant at Northern Illinois and Oklahoma State.
The Vols turnaround as a program, and their efficiency and explosiveness on offense as the top offense in college football, put Golesh on the radar for a number of programs with openings this cycle, including at Cincinnati.
Golesh, who was a top 5 recruiter last year according to data collected by 247, has held the title of recruiting coordinator at Toledo, Illinois, and Iowa State, and once it becomes official, will have the fertile recruiting grounds of South Florida at his doorstep.
