Fred Warren, East Tennessee State University Head Coach/Webb's College Coach
"Brennan Webb is not only one of the best coaches in collegiate golf, he is also one of the finest young men I have had the privilege of coaching. In addition to the success he has experienced both in collegiate and professional golf, Brennan is an exceptional leader and a person of the highest character. He is an excellent communicator and has successfully built relationships at every level he has been. He has proven that he has the ability to recruit great players, to motivate and inspire them and to win. I have no doubt that his teams will achieve unprecedented success in the years ahead. The University of Tennessee hired a winner."

"When I first learned that Brennan began coaching collegiate golf, I knew it would be a perfect fit for him. He has so much knowledge to pass on to the next generation of young golfers, and it's not just because he was a world class player, nor is it because he spent so much time around the best players in the world. It is because he's one of the most personable, dedicated and focused people I have ever known. If one of my boys wanted to play college golf, UT and Brennan Webb would be the first place I steered them. University of Tennessee, you made a great choice when you hired your new golf coach."

"Coach Webb has a very special way with people. Both young and old are drawn to his energy and confidence, which is a tremendous gift in recruiting and program building. Additionally, he has the special ability of helping people believe in themselves like they never have done before. He challenges everyone around him to be better than they have ever been. The University of Tennessee has found a great leader and coach for the young men who will play golf there in the years to come. I am happy for him and the three great women in his life!"

"Tennessee hit a home run with Brennan. Absolutely one of the best golf coaches I have ever been around on and off the golf course. From relationships with donors, to recruiting, to developing players, Brennan's attention to detail is unrivaled. A great hire not only for the university, but golf in the state of Tennessee as a whole."

Ollie Schniederjans, Professional Golfer/Coached By Webb At Ga. Tech
"Coach Webb understands the game of golf at a very high level as well as college golf. All of the guys who have played for him, including my team at Georgia Tech, all respect him a lot as a person and for his golf knowledge. He's able to get guys on board very easily and get them to reach a higher level because of his great understanding of the game. He's able to get guys to come together as a team, and his understanding of the game at the highest level brings a lot to the table for the team to be the best it can be. He was a great player himself. Because of the knowledge he gained from that, and because he is young for a head coach, the players are able to relate to him as a person. I spent two years with Coach Webb, and we're still really close today. He's one of my favorite people I have met through golf; he's just a really cool guy."

"Brennan Webb is a rising star in this business. His track record speaks for itself. He has elevated both Georgia Tech and Middle Tennessee State, using his unique combination of recruiting and development to get the best out of his guys. Any of his former players can vouch for his talents. I have no doubt that he can vault Tennessee into the upper echelon in the next few years."

Anders Albertson, Professional Golfer/Coached By Webb At Ga. Tech
"Coach Webb is the best. It was an honor to be able to learn and compete under him for three years of my college career. Without a doubt his coaching and friendship made a big impact on me for the better, on and off the course. Having been an elite player himself in his years as an accomplished member of a top-three ranked college team and going on to earn his way onto the Nationwide Tour, he brings a real life experience of lessons learned to his team that some coaches might not be able to have. His authenticity makes it so easy to want to learn and listen to what he says because he's been through all that his players are trying to achieve. Any team that is fortunate enough to have him will immediately be better. He will attract the best recruits because of his knowledge, experience and energy, and elevate your program to the next level. Congrats on the best hire!"

"Back when Brennan played at ETSU, you could tell he had the personality to do something big. We had no way of knowing that would be coaching, but I am not surprised. He's a first-class guy with a great family. He's had success at the highest level of college golf as an assistant and head coach. The best golfers will want to play for the Vols, and I expect we'll see big things from Brennan and his team."

"Tennessee hiring Brennan Webb as its next men's golf coach was a major move in the right direction for the program. Not only does he bring an established winning mentality, but he is also a player's coach who has already made a significant ripple effect in the recruiting waters. Pairing his coaching ability with the new team facility should make Tennessee an SEC contender very soon."
