UK will have their 5th offensive coordinator in 5 years.
Exactly. I actually don't harbor any serious ill will towards the guy, but his word means nothing to me anymore.I'm glad he's gone, he took this job because he knew he could get it while waiting for his next pro job. he had no intentions of staying here, all the I want to put down roots and stay awhile was BS, just like I thought. It's the lying to keep people from questioning him that burn people, not the fact he left.
The "culture" issue only seems to be with our OC. Our DC position has been much more stable:It feels like a coaching culture problem at this point. Either way, eff coen and I hope has no success.
I think he realized stoops is past his expiration date here. His boss wants out the door and a sizable portion of the fan base wants the same, just a matter of time.It’s his life and good riddance
But here is the lack of logic to me
1. You were oc with Rams …under McVay …who the entire league hires his OC for head coaching positions year after year. You have Matt stafford (albeit aging) some good Wr but a really solid head coach and organization in LA
2. You come to UK..for whatever the reasons
3. Then go back to nfl as OC but wjtb the bucs. Maybe baker mayfield is decent…maybe not. But that roster is aging..they only made playoffs as the division is crap. And Todd Bowles isn’t Sean McVay
Why did he leave rams to go back but with Bucs? Stoops and him must have had a falling out
I’ve already prepared myself for a crap ton of Wildcat formation.The "culture" issue only seems to be with our OC. Our DC position has been much more stable:
2013 - 2016 - DJ Eliot
2017 - 2018 - Matt House
2019 - current - Brad White
This will be our 7th OC hire in the same time frame that we've had 3 DC's. That's not a coincidence. Stoops has got to let the OC have reign to run their offense without him hovering over top of it, or we will continue to have this.
My fear....Eddie Gran
I’m a Bucs fan too and I’m bummed. I like Kentucky moreI’m a Bucs fan so this is pretty cool. Could definitely see him becoming HC one day soon and Bowles let go
My total bad… I thought this flirt with the nfl would help our profile. Brother was I wrong. Did he lie to Sanders?
I don't know what, but something behind the scenes must have happened. Just a year ago he was talking about his family needing to plant roots somewhere and how he loved Lexington and how he was tired of putting them through moves. He had every tool here to be successful and be happy, yet at the first chance he got he was interviewing for any job he could. Whatever he's chasing, I hope he finds it.
Who’s the poster on here that refused to believe this was a possibility? He’s going to be on here later asking us to provide proof Coen ever even interviewed for the Bucs
Personally, I always knew he was BSing, but I figured it was a good way to say "I'm sticking around" without telling fans he's literally just here for that sweet contract.Anyone who bought his schtick about loving Lexington and college kids just didn't understand they were being sold. Like I said many times, UK fans love being sold which is why they loved coen and refused to levy any criticism against him or believe he had intentions of leaving despite chasing every opening.
He never announced it to BBN. Of course he was telling recruits that...what coach wouldn't.I could have sworn I saw a twitter post last week where he said he was staying at Kentucky, announcing it to recruits and BBN

Lexington is a great city. College kids are awesome. It was a good charade and one that was believable.
All things considered, it's understandable that Stoops' brush with A&M and firing Woodward just pushed Lieam out earlier than probably even RamBuc expected. I think that Coen's plan really was to stick for a few years when he came back. I thought we'd be lucky to get two. Ecstatic for three. Just had almost no chance of turning out that way with his the last 3-4 months have gone.
