WKU has a new offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach.  Head coach Jeff Brohm has selected Cincinnati’s Tyson Helton to fill the role that Brohm himself held last season.  Helton spent one year as special teams coordinator and tight ends coach at Cincinnati.  The Bearcats had a 9-4 season and appeared in the Belk Bowl against North Carolina.

Helton has 13 years of coaching experience, including six at the University of Alabama-Birmingham. Brohm and Helton were on the same staff at UAB in 2012.

Helton, 36, played football and earned his bachelor’s degree from Houston.  He and his wife April have two daughters, ages 10 and 8 and twin 5-year-old boys.
