Ervin
The University of Tennessee Athletics Department announced Wednesday that Heather Ervin has been promoted to assistant director for football operations.
“Heather has played a crucial role in our transition,” head football coach Lane Kiffin said. “We are excited to expand her role in the Tennessee family. Her experience with the program and her previous experience will be invaluable to us going forward.”
Ervin will assist with day-to-day operations for the football program, including recruiting activities and academic monitoring and progress of current football student-athletes.
“I am very excited about my new role in athletics and looking forward to my new responsibilities that lie ahead,” said Ervin. “I appreciate the opportunity that Coach Kiffin and Mike Hamilton have given me to increase my role in the football program and I look forward to working with David Blackburn again.”
Ervin joined UT Athletics in 2001 as administrative support assistant for football. A Sweetwater native, Ervin holds a bachelor’s degree and master’s degree from Troy State University, where she played basketball and served as graduate assistant coach for two years. She also played two years of basketball at Hiwassee College in nearby Madisonville.

A non-glamorous, invisible, but potentially a VERY strategic position in a FBS university's athletics department. Just read Bruce Feldman's "Meat Market" and see how important these kinds of positions were to Ed Orgeron's recruiting at Ole Miss. If she's right for the position and puts in the kinds of hours that Orgeron will demand, she will be very valuable to the program.

I gues I am just typical then. You must have no sense of humor. If you notice the "LOL" after the statement, this means I was joking. Sorry, I should have put J/K.

Among other things, she and her department will be responsible for overseeing high school transcripts. This is not a job just anyone can do. Her Masters degree will be very important as she will be responsible for not only having a thorough understanding of U.T's entrance requirements, but also a working knowledge of hundreds of transcripts from numerous different states. On all questionable or borderline cases, she and her department will also be required to serve as a bridge between Orgeron and U.T.'s Complaince Dept.
