The Tennessee Volunteers football program has announced the promotion of Keenan Bailey to Co-Offensive Coordinator.
Bailey, who has been a member of the Vols’ coaching staff since 2021, will take on the new role effective immediately.
“We’re excited to promote Keenan Bailey to Co-Offensive Coordinator,” said Tennessee head coach Josh Heupel. “Keenan has been an invaluable member of our staff, and his expertise in the run game and play-action passing has been a huge asset to our program. He’s a talented coach who has earned this opportunity, and we’re confident that he’ll do a great job in his new role.”
Bailey, who previously served as the Vols’ Running Backs Coach, has been instrumental in the development of Tennessee’s running game. Under his guidance, the Vols’ running backs have shown significant improvement, and the team’s rushing offense has become one of the most potent in the Southeastern Conference.
“I’m thrilled to be promoted to Co-Offensive Coordinator,” said Bailey. “I’m grateful to Coach Heupel for this opportunity, and I’m excited to take on this new challenge. Our offense has made significant strides over the past two seasons, and I’m confident that we can continue to build on that success in the years to come.”

The promotion of Bailey is also a reflection of the Vols’ commitment to building a strong coaching staff. Heupel and his staff have been aggressive in recruiting top talent to Knoxville, and Bailey’s promotion is the latest example of that effort.

Bailey will begin his new role immediately, and will work closely with Heupel and the rest of the coaching staff to develop the Vols’ offense. Tennessee is expected to be a contender in the Southeastern Conference, and Bailey’s expertise will be crucial in helping the team achieve its goals.
“I’m excited to get started in my new role,” said Bailey. “We have a talented group of players, and I’m confident that we can build on the success we’ve had over the past two seasons. I’m looking forward to working with Coach Heupel and the rest of the staff to help the Vols achieve their goals.”
The promotion of Bailey is a major boost to the Vols’ coaching staff, and sets the stage for an exciting 2023 season. With Bailey leading the charge, Tennessee is poised to make a deep run in the SEC and compete for a national championship.
“We’re thrilled to have Keenan in this new role,” said Heupel. “He’s a talented coach who has earned this opportunity, and we’re confident that he’ll do a great job leading our offense.”
