It's all linked to Tommy Tuberville & Mark Stoops!
I always need one crazy Friday post. But here is our OC lineage in the Stoops era....and how we're linked to Cincy Bearcats....Tommy Tuberville...and Dan Quinn(even Bobby Petrino!) How Mark Stoops getting hired at Kentucky....possibly changed the face of the NFL??? WHAT
Thought this was cool....but it's amazing how things work out. Did you know Kentucky's hiring of Mark Stoops effected the fortune of the LA Rams and Bengals?
-Tommy Tuberville hired Neal Brown as his OC at Texas Tech.
-When NB went to Kentucky, he promoted Eddie Gran to OC at Cincy.
-When EG went to Kentucky, guess who Tuberville hired as his next OC? Zac Taylor who is the head coach of the Bengals!?
Another fun fact?
-Tuberville gets fired at Cincy, Zac Taylor goes to the Rams
-Zac Taylor is moved to QB coach with the Rams and HIRES Liam Coen
-Liam Coen then becomes the UK OC when Eddie Gran is fired.
Neal Brown being hired by Stoops led to Eddie Gran getting to be the Cincy OC...which ended up leading to him leaving Cincy for UK. Him leaving Cincy promoted Zac Taylor to OC...which Cincy fell apart that year....which led to Zac Taylor going to the Rams....which led to him hiring Liam Coen and then Liam Coen coming to KENTUCKY!
I'll add another wrinkle to the puzzle.... @JRowland & @Jeff Drummond I'll need a lot of points for this part too....
-Tommy Tuberville hires Bobby Petrino as OC...leading to him getting the UofL job that he leaves for the Falcons
-Bobby Petrino quitting on the Falcons led to them drafting Matt Ryan and having a great 2016 Season
-The OC of the Falcons is Kyle Shanahan, who gets hired by the 49ers...and gives Rich Scangarello a QB coach job...twice
-Then....the QB Coach of the FALCONS is Matt LeFleur in 2016, he's hired as the Rams HC.
-That opens up a spot for Bush Hamdan to become the FALCONS QB coach
-Tuberville losing NB & Gran to UK led to Zac Taylor needing his job with the Rams
-Which leads to Liam Coen getting the Rams job...which gets him the UK job when Eddie Gran is fired
-Then finally....our friend Rich is with the 49ers....gets the UK job that Coen just left....
-Scang gets fired....opens it up for Coen to come back and leave again....and Bush Hamdan to get the job.
Bonus material...
-Joker Phillips is fired.
-Mark Stoops becomes the HC.
-Randy Sanders then goes to FSU....
Have a great weekend and GO CATS!
