Another Vols coach departs, this time for Washington State

Just a little over a week after losing wide receivers coach Charlie Baggett to retirement, Tennessee will have to look for another coach to fill their special teams needs.

The Knoxville News-Sentinel, citing a source who knows the personnel, reports that special teams coach Eric Russell will leave the Vols and take a similar job with Washington State under new head coach Mike Leach. Russell previously worked under Leach at Texas Tech and has ties to the Spokane, Washington, area.

There hasn’t been any word yet as to who will replace Russell.
