Tyson Helton finalizes first staff as WKU head coach

New WKU football head coach Tyson Helton has finished his search for a new coaching staff to join him on the Hill.

WKU announced on Friday that Andy LaRussa will coach safeties and special teams and Mike Goff will coach the offensive line, following the departure of former offensive line coach T.J Woods to Utah State.

Both coaches come to the Hilltoppers after serving under Helton’s brother, Clay Helton, at Southern California.

LaRussa and Goff are the final hires for Helton, who kept former head coach Mike Sanford’s defensive staff intact, headed by defensive coordinator Clayton White.
