FILE - Texas Tech quarterback Sonny Cumbie passes in the first quarter in Lubbock, Texas, in this Saturday, Oct. 23, 2004, file photo. Cumbie is on pace to become the third straight Texas Tech quarterback to lead the nation in passing, a statistic that leads some to question whether he's just another product of coach Mike Leach's wide-open offense. Four former Big 12 quarterbacks are coaching QBs at their alma mater, with three new in those roles this spring. Collin Klein, the 2012 Heisman Trophy finalist at Kansas State, is going into his fifth season as the Wildcats quarterback coach. The new trio are Sonny Cumbie at Texas Tech, Kenny Hill at TCU and Shawn Bell at Baylor. (AP Photo/L.M. Otero, File)

FILE — In this Jan. 27, 2021, file photo, Tennessee's new football coach, Josh Heupel, speaks during an introductory news conference in Knoxville, Tenn. The new operating speed for the Tennessee Volunteers is fast. Not as speedy as Heupel wants once the season starts, but pretty quick for April. Offensive linemen like Heupel's new offense because they're snapping the ball and lining back up again so fast they can see defensive linemen wearing down during drives.
