Tennessee Vols head coach Josh Heupel has made it through the offseason so far without losing any members of his coaching staff.

But the offseason isn't over yet.

Miami Hurricanes head coach Mario Cristobal is reportedly interested in hiring Tennessee offensive coordinator Alex Golesh to run his offense in South Beach.

Cristobal was hired by Miami earlier this offseason to replace Manny Diaz.

Golesh and Cristobal have never worked together before. So this appears to be a situation where Cristobal has been impressed with what Golesh has done at Tennessee while running Josh Heupel's offense.

Earlier this offseason, Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin also pursued Golesh. But Golesh rebuffed Kiffin's overtures.

I don't anticipate Golesh leaving Tennessee for Miami. The only way I think Golesh leaves Knoxville is for a head coaching job (and I think he'll get a head coaching chance sooner than later).

But the Vols would still be wise to protect themselves against Golesh leaving.

Golesh's initial three-year deal with the Vols pays him an annual salary of $750,000. His predecessor, Jim Chaney, was earning $1.7 million.

It's understandable why Golesh didn't receive a higher salary when he was hired a year ago — he only had one season of offensive coordinator experience under his belt.

But after a year on the job, I think Golesh has proved his worth (programs like Ole Miss and Miami pursuing him seem to confirm that Golesh is legit).

If Golesh were to leave, it's not like the Vols' offensive scheme would be impacted. This is Heupel's offense. But part of the reason the offense works so well is the trust that's been built between Heupel, Golesh, and the rest of the offensive staff. That trust allows Heupel to be the CEO of UT's football program, instead of spending all of his time with the offense.

Continuity is important. It's something that previous head coach Jeremy Pruitt never had with his coaching staff.

Keeping the same staff from year one to year two would be a big win for Heupel.

Tennessee should be proactive here and give Golesh a raise. They were paying Chaney significantly more cash for a subpar product. Why not bump Golesh's pay up a bit to ensure he's not tempted to leave for Miami.
