Tennessee Vols head coach Josh Heupel got “goosebumps” while talking about being the head coach at UT during Vol Calls on Wednesday night.
Heupel, who was making his weekly appearance on Vol Calls ahead of Tennessee’s game against Mississippi State, was asked by host Bob Kesling about the incredible environments that we’ve seen at Neyland Stadium this season.
The fourth-year Vols head coach told Kesling that he knew Tennessee was special before he took the job while adding that he can’t imagine calling anywhere else home.
“I knew it (that UT was special) before I got here,” said Heupel during Vol Calls. “I have [been to Tennessee as an opponent]. I didn’t like listening to Rocky Top as much as I do now. But the stadium itself, it’s like the coliseum. It’s right on top of you. It just screams pageantry of college football and an elite program. And then you combine that with this fan base, which the best in college football, and…I just can’t imagine calling another place home. I got goosebumps just thinking about it .”
