Chris Beatty
Quick bio: A former ETSU and professional wide receiver, Beatty worked his way up through the high school and FCS ranks and has been an assistant coach at six different Power 5 conference schools since 2008. He’s currently the wide receivers coach at Maryland.
Pros: In addition to some of his local ties, Beatty worked on the same staff as Bob Shoop at Vanderbilt in 2011 and has some ties to the West Virginia staff that Butch Jones was part of in the past.
Cons/Questions: He’s been a bit of a journeyman coach with little experience at elite programs. While he can be loosely connected to UT in a few areas, he doesn’t have much in terms of direct ties to Butch Jones or Larry Scott.
