Why would anyone think this will be a splash hire? The last OC left for a lateral at Indiana. Bottom line, our OC position is not a premium job a vertically mobile coach wants.
Hope we hire Helfrich. But now what happens with the OL since a lot of the rumors had DeBord as Co-OC/OL Coach? Cause surely we don't keep Mahoney, right?

I'm hearing Helfrich, Kelly, Manning, and Tee Martin are all bitterly lobbying for the position. UT to hold a cage match tomorrow at Neyland winner take all! tifwiw
It would be akin to hiring a "HC in waiting." You think folks clamoring for the backup QB is bad when the starter is having a dismal performance? Wait for the catcalls in Neyland to happen if this hire occurs and Butch continues to falter.
I don't believe Helfrich is a Power 5 HC though. Some guys are just made to be OC, I don't think he'd get consideration at UT as HC even if Butch was let go. Could Helfrich leave for a smaller school ala Central Michigan, USF size (west coast probably), sure! But again, I believe based on track record, some guys are just better as Coordinators and CMH could easily fall in that category.
