Knowles’ Defense Revival Begins | Tennessee Volunteers Football News

The Volunteers are back on the field this Saturday, ready to prove their new defensive coach Jim Knowles can fix last year’s catastrophic defense. After giving up too many yards and points against Vanderbilt and Illinois, Tennessee brought in a seasoned guru with a proven track record — from Ohio State’s national title defense to turning Penn State’s chaos into a top unit. Knowles focuses on fundamentals, teamwork, and angles, and early spring improvements suggest real progress. While they face Furman first, the real test comes next month against Texas — and fans are watching closely to see if this revamped defense can become one of the best in school history.
