Helton hired at WKU per Price

[Jack Burton]

Basilio right again. Called it months ago.

Best case scenario, too. We don’t have to cover a buyout.

If Pruitt wants to score points then he needs to get Kendal Briles from Houston. Houston never scored less than 31 points in a game this season with QB that was a WR for part of the season last year. It was Briles not Kiffin that was responsible for FAU success last year. Briles's (not Kiffin, Briles had full control) offense was unstoppable against Sun Belt competition. He also had Baylor averaging over 600 yds a game. Pruitt wants to run a pro style Alabama'esque offense, he will never hire a spread style OC (Briles or Freeze)

Or Kitchens.

Either one is what I expect. Either one and my confidence takes a nose dive.

We will probably end up with some HS coach from the Hoover area

 

[UTK]

Go get Lane Kiffin now pls

 

[Brave Volunteer]

Apparently he and Kirby don’t get along very well.

And he really liked living in Knoxville when he was here the last time.

 

[Volnut]

Now official per ESPN

Sources: Tyson Helton agrees to coach WKU

 

[Gandalf]

Chris Low/ESPN confirms - Helton is gone to Hiltop Sources: Tyson Helton agrees to coach WKU

 

[FLVOL69]

Well after that Vandy game it’s no wonder..

 

[VolGirl1126]

Doesn't matter who it is people here will be unhappy.

 

[Darthvol89]

Only realistic candidates has got to be a run first coordinator based on what Pruitt wants, which is an established ground game and a passing attack as complimentary

 

[ProudVOLfan]

Good luck, Tyson!

 

[Boston Vol]

And he really liked living in Knoxville when he was here the last time.

Not “really liked”, LOVED it. His good friend, who wanted to stay in 2013, also LOVED it here.

Yaaaay.

 

[kayman1]

We should hire Tagovailoa's dad.

Winner of the internet 2day!!!

Basilio got it right, but he gets it wrong as often as he does right.

<---- Quickly googling OCs who run Smashmouth spread

 

[BeardedVol]

You know it’s coming...

Well, the upside, is maybe we hire a better oline coach?

 

[Jxn Vol]

Many names listed I would be happy with. A name I would throw out for discussion, if he’s not too old, is Norm Chow.

 

[Brave Volunteer]

Not “really liked”, LOVED it. His good friend, who wanted to stay in 2013, also LOVED it here.

If Pruitt pulled that 1-2 punch, I would officially be excited for next season.

 

[orangegrass]

As bad as it was this year, another blow to the Tennessee players on that side of the ball. Lack of continuity in one form or another is killing this program. This will make JG's 3rd or 4th OC in his stint at Tennessee.

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

I would welcome Chaney back. I could see Kirby wanting to move on from him and try to hire a younger, flashier guy. My top 3

1. Kingsbury
2. Chaney
3. Freeze

 

[Brave Volunteer]

Again I ask, why is no one mentioning Fedora as a possible OC candidate?

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

That sounds like UT. Give a man who did jack sh*t at his job a promotion. Not just a promotion, mind you, but control of the whole offense.

 

[Jax_Vol]

Good luck Tyson! Thanks for the victories over Auburn and the silly Kentucky Mildcats.

 

[goldvol]

Kiffin didn't leave Alabama on his own terms.
That said, he ain't coming here as long as Fulmer is AD.

Yes, he did. He left Alabama on his terms to coach at FAU.
