Rumph making the transition from Florida to Tennessee, according to Sports Illustrateds Bruce Feldman, is undoubtedly an interesting one. He just completed the first of a new three-year $1.8 million contract and was promoted to interim defensive coordinator after Randy Shannon took over as interim coach.
Not considered a strong recruiter, Rumph is nevertheless a solid position coach who has held the position at Clemson, Alabama, Texas and Florida over the last decade. The Gators will now have to go up against his Vols defensive lines, which should make for a couple interesting Saturdays in the future.
