Former Tennessee Vols QB reportedly interviewing to be John Harbaugh’s new offensive coordinator with the New York Giants
A former Tennessee Vols quarterback could be heading to The Big Apple.
A former Tennessee Vols quarterback is reportedly set to meet with the New York Giants about their vacant offensive coordinator job.
The Giants recently hired John Harbaugh to replace Brian Daboll as the franchise’s head coach. Harbaugh previously served as the head coach of the Baltimore Ravens from 2008 to 2025.
Former Vols QB Jim Bob Cooter set to meet with Giants
According to ESPN’s Peter Schrager, the Giants will meet with former Volunteers quarterback Jim Bob Cooter to discuss their offensive coordinator job.
Cooter serves as the Indianapolis Colts’ offensive coordinator, a position he’s held since 2023.
Cooter played at Tennessee in the mid 2000s under Phillip Fulmer.
The former Vol didn’t see much action on Rocky Top, serving as a backup quarterback during his time at Tennessee. Cooter, however, actually signaled offensive plays from the sideline for the Vols during the 2005 season.
