Tennessee Vols head coach Josh Heupel and a large portion of his coaching staff were in Mobile, AL this week to meet up with a few former UT players that are participating in the Senior Bowl.
Heupel tweeted a photo on Tuesday afternoon of himself with quarterback Hendon Hooker, right tackle Darnell Wright, and edge rusher Byron Young.
Vols outside linebackers coach/special teams coordinator Mike Ekeler also tweeted a photo from the Senior Bowl.
One of the photos included several members of Tennessee's on-field coaching staff.
There's no doubt that Tennessee has a great culture and this is another example of that. It's not unusual for head coaches to make the trip to Alabama for the Senior Bowl in support of their former players (Jeremy Pruitt did it while at Tennessee), but it's not typical to see almost the entire on-field coaching staff there.
I mean, Willie Martinez and Jerry Mack weren't even the position coaches for any of those players but that didn't stop them from making the trip. It certainly says a lot about the vibes at UT these days.
