Pruitt Adds Brumbaugh and Felton to Football Coaching Staff - University of Tennessee Athletics

Brumbaugh Joins Tennessee Staff as Co-Defensive Coordinator/Defensive Line Coach
Brumbaugh joins Tennessee's coaching staff after a two-year stint at Colorado, where he was the Buffaloes' defensive line coach.

In 2018, Brumbaugh's first season at Colorado, the Buffs' totals in rushing defense, total defense and scoring defense all improved. Powered by Brumbaugh's defensive line, Colorado improved its national ranking in rush defense by 64 spots, allowing 62.4 fewer yards on the ground per game. Overall the Buffs' defense allowed 70.3 fewer yards per game and improved by 57 spots in 2018.

Under Brumbaugh's direction, defensive lineman Mustafa Johnson registered 57 tackles, 16.5 TFLs and 8.5 sacks in 2018 to earn All-Pac 12 honorable mention accolades.

Before joining the staff at Colorado, Brumbaugh was the co-defensive coordinator and defensive line coach at Maryland for two seasons. He had spent the prior four seasons at Kentucky—working alongside current UT defensive coordinator Derrick Ansley for three years—establishing himself as one of the top defensive line coaches in the country. He has also served as an assistant coach at Louisiana Tech and Syracuse and was an assistant strength and conditioning coordinator at LSU.

"Jimmy has a proven track record of developing outstanding football players everywhere he has been," Pruitt said. "He also has experience coaching in the SEC and is familiar with the demands that come with coaching in this conference. We are excited to have Jimmy here at Tennessee and expect him to be a great addition to our coaching staff."

As the defensive line coach at Kentucky (2013-16), Brumbaugh developed a pair of 2015 NFL Draft picks. Bud Dupree was a first-round selection by the Pittsburgh Steelers, and Za'Darius Smith, who Brumbaugh coached in junior college, was chosen in the fourth round by the Baltimore Ravens. Smith was named to the 2020 Pro Bowl after leading the Green Bay Packers with 13.5 sacks. Overall, four defensive linemen earned All-SEC honors during his tenure with the Wildcats.

Prior to his time at Kentucky, Brumbaugh spent two seasons at Syracuse, where he coached defensive tackles in 2011 and the defensive line in 2010. The Orange defense displayed drastic improvements under Brumbaugh in 2010, moving from 81st to 17th nationally in scoring defense, and from 37th to seventh in total defense. Under Brumbaugh's tutelage, defensive end Chandler Jones garnered All-Big East recognition twice and was drafted 21st overall by the New England Patriots in the 2012 NFL Draft.

Before taking the job at Syracuse, Brumbaugh coached the defensive line at Louisiana Tech in 2008 and 2009. He took over a defensive front that ranked 46th nationally against the rush in 2007 and moved that ranking to 13th at the conclusion of the 2008 season.

In 2012, Brumbaugh was at East Mississippi Community College, where he was in charge of the defensive line and also was the strength and conditioning coordinator. He helped lead the Lions to a top-10 national ranking, an 8-2 record and the Mississippi North Division championship. Brumbaugh's defensive line combined for 224 tackles, including 44.5 tackles for loss, 21.5 sacks and seven forced fumbles. For the season, the EMCC defense allowed just 75 rushing yards and only 15.3 points per game.

In his lone season at EMCC, Brumbaugh developed six defensive linemen who signed Division I scholarships, including Kentucky's Smith, the nation's No. 1-rated junior college defensive end prospect by JCGridiron.com.

Brumbaugh also has extensive experience as a strength and conditioning coach, working two seasons (2006-07) as an assistant strength and conditioning coordinator at LSU. Under then-head coach Les Miles, LSU won the 2007 national championship, defeating Ohio State, 38-24, in the BCS title game in New Orleans. While with LSU, Brumbaugh helped produce 12 NFL Draft selections, including five first-round picks.

I teach US History and was talking about the line between needs and wants being blurred in the 1920's. I used the example of a washing machine as an example of something that people from that era didn't necessarily need but they really wanted it. Then I ask if we really need washers and dryers as a jumping off point for figuring out what we DO need.

After class I had a text from my wife informing me that our dryer was out. 😐

Just finished replacing the heating element on my dryer. $21 bucks from eBay. Pretty simple fix

I am far from being mr fix it. But my current job allows me to do a lot of appliance break downs. Most appliances are fairly easy to fix unless it's a sealed system issue.

Absolutely, me either. I rely heavily on the internet. You tube is great. Where I struggle is with the electronic boards and such. Also got up this morning and my water dispenser is not working on my refrigerator 😕. It’s like Morton’s salts around here when it rains it pours

It's not that bad, when you do all maintenance and repairs except HVAC replacement.

I mean it's not like you could spend a bunch of time and money turning a basement into a really nice living space. Just to have water supply lines fail and completely destroy everything...twice in 14 years. That'd be crazy.

Well, our home is new construction. So I’m hoping I don’t have these types of problems for a while 🤷‍♂️

Maybe you should look into this great service I saw on tv at 1 am last night. It is a service that helps people pay for appliance issues. For the low cost of just $120/month, they will send out a repairman to fix or replace any appliances, once you meet the $1,000 annual deductible, and pay the in-person consultation fee of just $19.99 (the servicemen only accept wampum).
