Tennessee announced the hiring of Allen Greene as senior deputy athletics director on Thursday.
Greene served as Auburn’s director of athletics from 2018-2022. He also served as director of athletics at Buffalo from 2015-18.
“One of the key objectives from our strategic plan “Rise Glorious” was to attract goal-driven and intensely competitive teammates to strengthen our family-oriented, innovative and fearless culture and Allen is a tremendous addition to our leadership team,” Tennessee Vice Chancellor/Director of Athletics Danny White said. “Allen’s one of the most dynamic and engaging leaders I’ve been fortunate to work alongside, and I am thrilled to be able to add one of the stars of our profession and his wonderful family to Rocky Top.”

When Allen Greene stepped down as Auburn AD in 2022, Danny White tweeted that he should seek "greener pastures" than The Plains.
A year later, those greener pastures led Greene to the Big Orange. He's now White's senior deputy AD.https://t.co/3ygrpBXQKn

Good hire, though not a surprising one in Knoxville. When Danny White was hired at Tennessee, I spoke with Allen Greene — then Auburn AD — about him at the time. The two go way back. https://t.co/REG5n1OSk3
