Former Florida Gators HC Hires Tennessee Football Assistant for Much Bigger Role
The Tennessee Volunteers have a lot going on in their world of college football, as they are battling many different things. They just finished the regular season around a month ago, and they are now awaiting their game against the Illinois Fighting Illini inside the state of Tennessee.
This is a game that has been viewed as one of the more interesting bowl games, as the Vols will be playing this game inside Nissan Stadium (the Tennessee Titans’ current stadium). This stadium is the same stadium the Vols played against the Virginia Cavaliers in two seasons ago, in Joe Milton and the Vols’ season debut following Hendon Hooker’s departure.
The Vols also had to replace their defensive coordinator (Tim Banks). This is when they made the announcement that they will be adding Jim Knowles to the defensive staff. He is the national championship-winning DC with the Ohio State Buckeyes last season, but spent this season with the Penn State Nittany Lions. The Vols will be using William Inge as their defensive coordinator.
There have been multiple coaching changes that they have also had to battle, but the most recent challenge that they have faced is on Tuesday, and it is another coaching change challenge. One of the Vols’ best assistants is on his way to another school after being poached by a former Florida Gators head football coach who is also at a new job.
The Vols are losing an assistant offensive line coach. That coach is Phil Serchia, who has spent time with the Vols and has also spent some time in the NFL being with the Chargers. He is taking on a much bigger role, as the announcement was made by Matt Zenitz.
Phil Serchia Accepts a New Job
“James Madison is hiring Tennessee assistant offensive line coach Phil Serchia as tight ends coach, a source tells @CBSSports. Before Tennessee, spent two seasons working in the NFL as an offensive assistant with the Chargers,” Zenitz reported through his personal X account.
James Madison is now under the authority of new head football coach Billy Napier, who started this season as the head football coach for the Florida Gators, but will be the Dukes’ new head coach. Napier is a rival of the Vols, but game respects game, as he is having to make some moves for a staff, and adding Serchia is a huge addition for the former Gators coach.

Eleven Tennessee distilleries are teaming up for a new collab bottle
The Tennessee Collective is a one-time-only whiskey blend built from eleven separate distilleries, each of which hands over a single barrel to be combined into one release that never gets made the same way again.
The Tennessee Whiskey Trail is bringing the format back for a second year, and this time, you won’t need to pre-order it months in advance.
The 2026 Tennessee Collective returns September 1, pulling one barrel each from eleven trail distilleries spanning the state, from Old Dominick in Memphis to Sugarlands in Gatlinburg (and of course, the big name: Jack Daniel’s).
Barrel ages range from just over four years to a full nine, with entry proofs between 110 and 125.
Most contributors poured in Tennessee whiskey or bourbon, though one (Sugarlands) broke format with a Tennessee straight rye.
Mash bills vary distillery to distillery, from Nelson’s Green Brier’s wheated recipe to Short Mountain’s four-grain blend that works in oat malt.
Once it’s gone, there’s no second run, no reorder, and no next batch — a rule the Trail has stuck to since the format’s debut.
The Tennessee Trail
The Tennessee Whiskey Trail launched in 2017 with 25 stops, as their version of Kentucky’s much older, more well-known Kentucky Bourbon Trail just a few hours north.
Nine years and dozens of new distilleries later, the Trail’s collaborative release has become its signature move, and last year’s debut edition proved that format has real staying power.
That first Tennessee Collective picked up eight medals this year across major competitions, including Platinum at the Barleycorn Awards and a 92-point score from the London Spirits Competition, the kind of outside validation collaborative blends rarely earn.
Distribution logistics also solved a real problem. Last year’s version required a pre-order and a single pickup event at one location in East Tennessee, which meant most of the state’s own distillery-hoppers couldn’t actually get a bottle without serious travel.
This year, all eleven locations sell simultaneously, so the release finally matches the spirit of the Trail itself: something you can chase across the state rather than something that only rewards whoever lives closest to Townsend.
Where to buy it
The 2026 Tennessee Collective goes on sale September 1 at all eleven participating distilleries, listed at tnwhiskeytrail.com/tn-collective, for $79 plus tax per 750mL bottle.
Supplies are limited and it’s sold in person only, so getting a bottle means showing up to one of the distilleries directly, no online ordering or shipping available.
