Tyson Helton has been in the room for meetings where new coaches address players they’ve inherited from a previous staff.
The new Western Kentucky coach said there were “a lot of faces in the crowd” Tuesday when he spoke to the team.
“Usually when you address a team for the first time, it could be a heavy-laden senior team and there’s not many people sitting in those chairs,” Helton said Wednesday on WKU football’s weekly radio show. “I had a full crowd, a full team to talk to.”
Helton was hired Tuesday as the Hilltoppers’ head coach, replacing the fired Mike Sanford.
