Charlie Coiner will fill the same position as the one left by Eric Russell, as the innovative coaching veteran will direct Tennessee's tight ends and special teams, UT announced Friday in its official confirmation of the hire.
"Charlie has a diverse background in professional and college coaching, and he has had consistent success at both levels," Dooley said in a university release. "Charlie has also worked with several of our coaches, which will help make the transition and working dynamic seamless."
Coiner, 51, last coached in 2010 at North Carolina, where he filled in as a defensive line coach. He spent 2011 in Austin, Texas, where he started the software company 1stDown Technologies, which recently released an application for the iPad and iPhone that features 2,600 interactive plays used by football teams at all levels.
From 2001 to 2009, Coiner worked as a tight ends and special teams coach for the Chicago Bears and Buffalo Bills. His NCAA career has featured stops at Minnesota, Austin Peay, Vanderbilt, Texas Southern, Louisville, Chattanooga and LSU.
