Kentucky Hires Oregon Offensive Coordinator Will Stein As Head Coach
Less than 24 hours after Kentucky dismissed long-time coach Mark Stoops, the Wildcats have hired Oregon offensive coordinator Will Stein as its next head coach. Stoops was the longest tenured SEC coach at the time of his firing. He finished his Kentucky career with an 82-80 record in 13 seasons, ending with a blowout loss to Louisville (41-0). Stein, a Louisville, Kentucky native, played quarterback for the Cardinals from 2008-12. He served as a graduate assistant at Louisville before becoming the quarterbacks coach. Stein held the same position at Texas from 2015-17. Stein was the assistant coach at Lake Travis high school in 2018-19 before taking on co-offensive coordinator duties at UTSA. Stein was the offensive coordinator at Oregon for the past two seasons. Kentucky is hiring its second straight head coach with no previous head coaching experience.
