There is literally zero info coming out about the OC position. I would've thought we'd have more smoke than this.
Also, I'm surprised Yenser is still around
 
Two possibilities.
1. Coen has accepted the job and can't announce until NFL season is over.
2. And this one scares the crap out of me. Gran is coming back as OC and Stoops sitting on it until portal period passes and signing day gets over with so as not to lose WR to portal and decommits.

I'll see myself out. Not feeling well after writing that number 2.

I suspect that Stoops is very well aware that #2 would basically nosedive his career. If Gran comes back on staff, it'll almost certainly be as Coen's (or whomever takes the OC position's) RB coach/ run game coord.

I really believe Gran will be RB coach. I also believe Coen has already accepted OC.

I would be very happy with both of those if true.

It's quiet here but the MJ post here was broke by Drummond earlier today. Travis broke the news on the qb and rb they expect UK is after. They both announced they entered the portal today

I don't see #2as a concern. There is another time a kid can enter the portal, so this one now isn't the only opportunity. I personally think if a coaching change occurs after signing day a kid should be allowed to get out of his LOI if that is what he wants. I know commit to a school not a coach, but that isn't the case 9 times out of 10.

You are correct about the second portal period, but unless a player is pretty special, there may not be many opportunities in the portal for a place to land.

That 85 player roster limit is going to bite a lot of players who enter the portal thinking they can find a better place to play. Portal is heavily populated with players looking for a home right now.
Georgia is probably not an option for any of those players in the portal. Kirby recruits and develops his own talent.

Nick is sifting through the portal dust as we speak. Lol.

If no smoke/rumors are afloat, it sounds like a strong preliminary agreement has been reached.

If Stoops were on the phone and flying for interviews, there would likely be hints of it.
 
Stoops said he's interviewing another guy this week. Could be a bad sign that Coen turned it down.

Gran should absolutely be the RB coach. Really if you think about it his run game schemes especially in 2019 were absurdly impressive. Give him some time with the Oline too.
Once gran came back around last year the offense started to struggle. I’m of the opinion when you fire someone you keep them as far as possible from the team.

He has pretty much zero to do with the offense since he got fired.
 
Quiet across the board except for all the damn players leaving the team and hitting the transfer market.
I need to see a offensive coordinator hired and I need to start seeing some recruits committing. I'm getting tired of seeing these quarterbacks dropping off the board that I'd like to have.

This is why I don't agree with giving contract extensions and all that shit until you show me who your recruiting this year. Cuz I got a sneaky suspicion Kentucky Wildcats are going to suck ****ing ass in football next year. I'm a little nervous about the recruiting.


As the TEAM stands right now I don't see how they win six games next year. they need a quarterback , running back, and a lot of other things before I'll say they can win six.


I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and say six and six as we talk right now

The season ended 48 hours ago. Calm down and take your meds.

If Coen has accepted the OC position, is there any possibility he would return to UK prior to the bowl? Seems highly unlikely unless it's OKed by McVay.
 
Stoops said he has gotten a lot of interest in the position and is going to make sure he gets the right fit. Has talked to one and will talk to another this week. But I think there are several that has inquired. I am just worrying about not getting the best QB available if it goes on a while.

Probably can't come until NFL season ends due to contract requirements. Not sure if it could happen, but guess anything is possible.
 
I'm of the thinking the hire will not be part of the bowl prep.



That leaves Gran to take on that temporary duty with what we have once the portal news subsides.

So how many wideouts will we have in Nashville?

WR defections opens PT to walk-ons.

1. Gran was back on sidelines in his new capacity last year...and it didn't impact the offense a bit last year
2. When exactly in 2022 did you notice Gran started to be around the offense that impacted things.....to be fair..the offense was a hot mess all of last year. There was never a time it was worse vs. better IMO
 
Maybe Gran should've had his hands on the O, the O he designed for Bowden in '19 was brilliant.

#2 is crazy talk. If Stoops wanted Gran to be his offensive Coordinator he would have never fired him .
