KNOXVILLE – Tennessee football coach Jeremy Pruitt continued revamping his staff by hiring Jimmy Brumbaugh as co-defensive coordinator and defensive line coach and Shelton Felton as outside linebackers coach.
Brumbaugh and Felton are both former University of Tennessee at Chattanooga assistants. The moves, announced by the Volunteers on Friday, were previously reported by the Times Free Press as being in the works.
Brumbaugh spent the past two seasons as Colorado’s defensive line coach. He also has worked at Maryland and Kentucky, among other schools. He worked alongside current Tennessee defensive coordinator Derrick Ansley at Kentucky.
Felton was Akron’s outside linebackers and defensive line coach in 2019 after spending 2018 as a quality control assistant at Tennessee.
“They are both tireless workers and will bring a lot of positives to the staff in terms of coaching and recruiting,” Pruitt said in a released statement.
