KNOXVILLE, Tennessee (Ticker) -- Phillip Fulmer has his new
offensive coordinator.
Tennessee named Dave Clawson as the Volunteers' offensive
coordinator Friday, ending a month-long search to replace David
Cutcliffe.
Clawson spent 2007 as the head coach at Richmond, where he led
the Spiders to an 11-3 record and a loss to Appalachian State in
the Football Championship Subdivision semifinals.
Clawson has also worked as head coach at Fordham, and was
offensive coordinator for both Lehigh and Villanova.
"I am very excited about naming Dave Clawson as our new
offensive coordinator," said Fulmer, who coached Tennessee to a
10-3 record and the Southeastern Conference East Division title
this past season. "I have thoroughly enjoyed the search and
research process, and there certainly was a lot of interest in
this position.
"I took the attitude that this was a great opportunity for me to
evaluate the coaching talent out there and find the perfect fit
for a new era of Tennessee offensive football."
After directing a Tennessee offense which finished fifth in the
SEC in total yardage, Cutcliffe was hired as the new head coach
at Duke on December 15.
