The Volunteers finished third in the Southeastern Conference in total offense with 5,711 yards.

Foster's coaching career began at Valdosta State in 2011, where he assisted head coach David Dean, and offensive coordinator Robby Brown, while working with the punt and return teams. He worked with wide receivers and helped produce an All-Gulf South Conference selection; he coached Seantavius Jones, now a receiver with the Kansas City Chiefs.
