Not surprisingly, Brady Hoke didn’t remain unemployed for long.
Brought in last year to resurrect Oregon’s defense, Hoke was instead summarily dismissed after one season with the Ducks, with his brief coordinating tenure in Eugene perfectly summed up by the university president’s parting shot. Less than two months later, it appears Hoke is headed to the SEC to continue his coaching career.

This would mark Hoke’s first job in that conference when it comes to fruition. It would also mark his first stint as a position coach since he coached the same unit at Michigan from 1995-2002. He of course went on to become the head coach with the Wolverines from 2011-14.
Hoke would replace Steve Stripling, whose contract with the Vols expired and won’t be renewed.
