then I sadly have to say he trolled Butch.

Who would be our back up candidates if Helfrich ditches us?

As long as it's not Azzani...

Altho who knows, he may be a decent OC and we can get a better WR coach.

If Helfrich ditches us?? An awful lot of assumptions in that post. You are assuming he wants to come to UT and UT wants to hire him as OC. Otherwise, it is about as silly as the Gruden nonsense.

No way UT doesn't match what Indiana offered Debord unless the pieces were already in place to replace him.

How do you figure that?

Well, we've been hearing rumors about Helfrich coming to TN as either a QB coach, OC or both (OC/QB) before it was officially announced that Debord would leave.

If Helfrich was only interested in taking the job if it was the OC job, then he has it.

I think CBJ was talking to him to come as a QB coach with a possibility of DeBord stepping down later.

But now it's official. If Helfrich doesn't come to TN, then I think he trolled Butch. Leading him on to think he'll come here, when in reality he wants to cuddle with Chip Kelly somewhere.

This will be Butchs make or break hire, if it is just a yes man Butch will not make it here. Fulmers hire got him fired and maybe because he wouldn't let go of the reigns.

Then fire Jones and hire Kelly as HC and Helfrich as OC/QBC. All the problems are solved and VN would be one big happy family again.

I'm saying he probably acted like he wanted to come to TN if he doesn't come here.

Did Indiana pay DeBord more money?

I don't know the details but I don't think Debord would just up and leave without letting Butch know in advance and allow him time to arrange a replacement. Assuming of course that the move was Debords decision, which I don't think it was. The new OC is already decided upon and it's probably just a matter of contract details right now.

Rumors created by UT fans. If Helfrich said he wanted the job that's one thing. But the BS you're hearing is just that...RUMOR!

Please tell me any benefit to Helfrich "trolling" Butch or any coach in such a way. That's just an ignorant way of thinking. You, nor I, will never understand the intricacies that go into contracts like these people sign. Just because a person is interested in a job doesn't mean they can step right in. I'm sure there have been plenty of jobs that people wanted, and where they were wanted by the employer but couldn't come together on terms that worked well for both sides. To say that because he doesn't come means it's a troll job is just another person trying to find more excuses to not like Butch.
