## Resource

Tennessee Volunteers head coach Josh Heupel faces some national scrutiny, but is his job is nowhere near in jeopardy? Eric Cain sets the record straight on Heupel's ‘cool’ seat status as he explores CBS Sports' head coach hot seat index, breaking down where Heupel and rivals like Shane Beamer and Steve Sarkisian stand as the 2026 season approaches. The show spotlights Tennessee legends Reggie White, Doug Atkins, and Steve Kiner as they earn recognition in ESPN's all-time college football jersey number list—yet Peyton Manning's omission sparks debate. Plus, Cain and guest Noah Taylor share the remarkable story of Condredge Holloway’s decision to pursue SEC football over a lucrative MLB future and preview a new book on General Neyland’s enduring legacy. Is Tennessee primed for a new era, or will expectations shift once again?
