Tennessee has tabbed Josh Heupel as their next head coach, and the Volunteers are turning towards the future. Danny White just broke the news to the team moments ago, and they have already started reacting on social media.

"I am thrilled to be coming to Tennessee," Heupel said in a statement released by the University. "I understand that Volunteer fans are hungry for a return to the top that they so richly deserve, and it is my goal and commitment to bring a championship back to Rocky Top."

Heupel is not the only one thrilled, as support from his future players has came out in droves. Below we take a look at those reactions.
