Basilio: Tennessee hires Chuck Smith
[Note from Will - 4:23 PM EST 1/25/10] Still nothing official, but VolQuest has an awesome piece on Chuck Smith ($) that includes the following:
"I feel like this is my destiny," Smith said. "...I think I know how to teach this generation. I've learned a lot and I know I can coach players to protect the run, but also beat the hell out of quarterbacks.

It doesn't give any details on what he will be coaching
And this is the only person I have seen reporting it so far.
I would guess DLine.
Here is the exact quote:
Tony Basilio on ESPN Knoxville 1180am has reports that Chuck Smith has been hired on the #vols football staff.

Retire #9!
well Basilio struck out multiple times during the HC search
so i’ll believe it when someone more credible reports it.
Hyams says that he would be a long shot
yet volquest puts out an article that Smith says he would relish the opportunity. Hyams is terrible
You can consistently bet
against most anything Hyams says
LETS HOPE
This would be great news, he would be a great smash mouth type coach that we need. Old smokey Sez Go Big Orange!!!!!!!!!

Rucker's got some info for those of you who are not on Twitter:
So yeah, #Jets coach Rex Ryan is saying Chuck Smith will be with the #Vols next season. No confirmation from UT, though
#Vols officials who will “announce” coaching hires have not been told to prepare release. But when Smith’s old boss says it, it’s happening.
