And California taxes you for every breath of air you take! Liam will keep a lot more of his money in Kentucky.
Coen Returning According to KSR
- Thread starter CoachZ777
- Start date
Yes, young, creative, modern in his approach. I think this is great for us. If he's back I no longer worry about losing any of our receiving corp.
I think Coen can be another Lincoln Riley type if he sticks the college game out! He’s young, smart, and has a good system! And players like him!
As would be expected but he has some learning to do first. He just found out what rushing can do to your career. I think we get a few years this time. At that point he would probably be ready.
There is absolutely no way you can know that for sure.
I actually think if Coen would have stayed, we would have been playing Georgia for SEC East championship.
Scangerello and his complicated scheme was a death knoll for the offense.

This should stop the exodus of transfers from our offense unless they have been recruited over (as some have been). Not only that, but I expect Coen to be a significant recruiting asset. Scangarello was not.
Hmmm...you would have still had the same OL personnel (most likely), CRod's suspension, Levis' injuries impacting his mobility, the issue's at long-snapper, and no consistent pass rushers. I don't think I'd go that far, but would agree with beating Ole Miss, SCAR, and Vandy. UGA and UT, with a healthy Hooker, would have been high hurdles.
True but I think that's why Yenser hasn't been fired. Scan made things too complicated and it just never worked. The OC change may have huge OL implications.
Coen’s scheme definitely had more uses for him it seemed. Scang used a more traditional approach to TE and Cummings is not a traditional style TE.
Sure. A year ago, Liam Coen was directly involved in recruitment of Barion Brown and the Wade twins, three key members of our 2022 class. I would expect him to have at least as much recruiting traction now, if not more.
I know one thing. I bet the Barion Brown/Jordan Anthony show is about to begin. Speed kills and with Dane's great hands, height and route running combined with the other two's speed, the pressure we could put on secondary's is gonna be crazy. Jordan, if he is in fact a good receiver and not just fast, will be perfect in the slot. The other 2 are already great.
This is truly important.
You’d think with Coen coming back and staying a couple years that Woodward would be in line for that job when Liam leaves.
He was his choice for WR when he came the first time and Woodward is a great recruiter.
Short and Long term this is awesome news!
All this talk of the need for continuity. I thought Scangarello was going to be a great hire, but in retrospect taking an NFL OC was an unnecessary risk. Once Stoops established that he would run a more high-powered offense, he should have had lots of experienced college OCs ready to come here.
There may have been better candidates available, we will never know. But, Coen is a known quantity and that's important. Hiring him also keeps the offense in place. Hopefully we add the right guy via the portal to run the LC offense. If that is the Mertz (sp?) guy from Whisky, so be it.
Coen didn't have a lot to work with at WR when he was here before. Had to over utilize Robinson. It will be super interesting to see what it looks like him having T Robinson, Key, B Brown, Anthony, White, A Brown and Palmer to use. That is a ton of speed and talent.
All the evidence I am seeing now says that Coen wants Graham Mertz out of the portal from WI.
The next two weeks should be extremely interesting.
It would be interesting to know the behind the scenes stories to this. When Coen was contacted, when he said yes, what the rams said, and other details.
I'd think that too. Dad is an ex-UNC QB, brother played basketball there. The rumor of Mayne going in the portal probably stemmed from a comment Mack Brown made last week...that one of his players(I'd assume Maye) said he was being offered a "crazy amount of money to transfer." I imagine he stays.
Read what you just acknowledged. If we had beaten Ole Miss, SC, and lost to UT, we would have been playing GA for SEC East championship. Exactly what I said.
He just made Baker look like a HOFer.
Stoops has his number 1 target.
No excuses. Stoops needs to reach a new ceiling in the next 3 years without falling below this year in the process. Happy for all that this worked out ...let's go win some gosh darn games.

look how many schools came after Kirby when he was at Alabama
he let it be known UGA was the only school he was leaving Bama/Saban for
I think this is the case of when there’s smoke you’ve got a fire. Seems like so much hype around this that Coen or UK would’ve come out and said this was a false story couple hours ago if this wasn’t happening.
You can't ask a proven, young NFL OC who wants to be an NFL head coach, to stay as a College OC or compromise their dreams. You provide them with what you need to make your team better NOW, and thank them when they move on.
I had a job at a major hospital in Eastern Kentucky as a VP. for 3 months. That was when the COO informed me that I was no longer going to be allowed to return to Lexington every other weekend to be with my family, even though I negotiated that with the CEO. Only job I have ever quit with no notice at all.
Funny enough, my employer in Akron has no issue with the exact same travel schedule. It has never been an issue for over 5 years, just like we won't have an issue if Coen only stays one season.
Coen is more important than any recruit as you can see what he did with Wandale, a younger Levis and better Oline was light years what Scang did with better WR core, same RB, older Levis and less Oline.
If we can get a RB in here, the right QB portal and one tackle that is legit.....we could go back to 32-ish pts a game and with the D we've got coming back.....that is a dangerous team even with a tougher schedule.

Yeah; I simulated out the season for all and so Hooker not getting freak injured, and UT folding, but I take your point! Fair enough!
(Also wish I said “probably” sweep those teams in a resimulated 2022 since running table with that OL seems improbable but ya know)

I'm hoping its Sumrall after stoops, id be just fine with coen or Brad white too
Your “opt out” didn’t even last 24 hrs . lol
I wonder too. I prefer something of the "official" nature before I get too excited. But at least there's something on the national level instead of these local KY wannabes.
