Rich Brooks weighs in on ST coach.

I would have to agree. I loved that dude as a player here and always thought he would one day be a success in the coaching world too. I bet he would make one helluva recruiter too.
Sounded like Stoops had met with a lot of guys today. His tone seemed to be positive about the meetings. Sounded like he may feel good about a lot of guys planning on returning. Hope that is the case.
Wesley Woodward has never hidden his love of Kentucky, or his desire to return, here.
He has a good name in Georgia, and everywhere he has played pro ball.
Stoops isn’t intimidated by having former Cat legends on staff, as Anwar Stewart has worked out pretty good.
Looks like a no-brainer!!

Would LOVE to get Woodyard on the UK staff! Guarantee he would be great with the kids and probably recruit very well once he got his feet wet. All for this! Love that guy! Few got MOrE out of their abilities. Heck, his NFL team made him a captain!
Stewart, Brown, Schlarman, and assistanty-assistants like Drake Jackson and Cj Conrad. 100% on with that assessment.
He is on the radio in Nashville from time to time. Love hearing from Wesley
Still my favorite linebacker ever at UK. Seemed like he was in on every tackle, was always going full speed every play. Would love to have him back
There have been a bunch of good ones over the years but Wesley and Danny T. are two of my favorites.
I looked at WW’s Twitter to see if he responded to or retweeted Brooks. He didn’t but he tweeted this back in Sept. I lol reading it.
I wouldn't mind WW on our staff and I know he would turn into a great recruiter because he's a former NFL player that proved you can go to UK and go to the NFL.
Was thinking the same thing. But I love the idea of Wesley on the sideline as coach
He could be a LB coach/ST coach
He would KILL it recruiting in Georgia and in Nashville area. Those are two areas that have lots and lots of players
Pretty sure that in college and pros he was team captain on every team he played on.
Based on conversations with my nephew about all the schools recruiting him or that he’s visited. They typically don’t have a “kicking” coach. Most have a Special Teams coordinator, but they leave the kickers on their own to get outside coaching on their kicking. Many kickers, like Kellan already have coaches they work with.
ST guy is cool.. as long as he works.... our last one obviously had no "chops".
Woodyard is one of my all time favorites. He was a leader type for us the minute he stepped on the field. How well could he recruit is the only question, and that is a big question. Whoever it is, has to be a great recruiter.
What's up with your nephew? You say he would like to be a CAT? I think you said he could get a ride academically? If so, why not take the academic route and walk on and compete for the job? One of my very good friends post here as well and is also a Trinity grad who attends games. Says your nephew is very, very good. Just a strange situation.
Woodyard was one heck of a LB both at UK and the NFL. Would love to see him on staff if he’s got the desire to get into coaching.
Slightly OT-
Man I miss the Rich Brooks Era.
Stoops has done a ton for UK, but I think Brooks started the major turn around.

IMO there has to be a way to get Wesley Woodyard on our staff. His contacts in the South would be unreal. Not only was he a outstanding player he's even a better person.
If you watch the instagram feed of Wesley Woodyard’s wife, they are comfy in Orlando and he is doing stuff for the nflpa. Not sure he’d want to grind like college coaches have to. He’d be a great coach, but not sure with 4 young kids that’s an option for him.
