Doug Pederson’s 2024 staff is coming together.

During Mack’s first season at Tennessee, the Volunteers improved from No. 84 in rushing yards per game to No. 11. In 2022, The Volunteers tied a school record for rushing touchdowns with 40, a mark that also ranked third nationally. Tennessee was the only SEC program with multiple running backs who logged 10 or more rushing touchdowns for the year.

Prior to being hired by Tennessee, Mack served as Rice’s offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach for three seasons. Before then, he was a head coach at North Carolina Central for four seasons, compiling a 31-15 record.
