Who is our next OC?
- Thread starter Basil Cat
- Start date
Have we found the next guy who'll help UK throw for 1700yds a season and run every play clock down to 3 seconds yet?
Meh, I am not really sure that changes anything. Liam Coen was staying at Kentucky too, until he wasn't. I wouldn't read too much into that just yet. Unless the Browns are willing to make him a coordinator and give him a big boost in pay, the UK OC job is still a much better job than TE coach at Cleveland.
I've learned since Stoops has been at UK that it really doesn't matter.
Eric Bienemy (sp?), formerly OC for Washington Commanders (formerly Redskins) fired today; Kingsbury replaces
Football asst job listed at UK job site with an apply by date of Feb 12.
I don't anymore. It was more of a "tongue-in-cheek" statement meant to be moderately amusing but that will almost certainly turn out to be true down the road.
I'd be excited about that, but we both know there's no way in hell Eric Bienemy is going to be UKs OC next year.
Does this mean stoops has his guy?
This is such a crock of crap, these jobs shouldn’t be held for two weeks waiting on some random person to walk off the street and apply! It’s the head coach’s decision, get someone hired asap and get on with the recruiting and coaching!
Just to throw a little gas on the fire, Saban had 9 OC's in 17 seasons,,,, He did ok.
I agree at UK they will never out recruit the Bama's, UGS'a, UT's, and OU's so they have to have coaches who can out x&o some teams.
It's odd. Wolford seemed to be added as the new OL coach out of nowhere.
It's really as big a deal as alot seem to think, like you said Saban had 9, Kirby is on number 4 and Starting year 9. Bobo is the OC at his end school in 4 years.
BTW, what is the story behind Will Stein? I know he played QB at UL about 10 or 12 years ago. He was the OC at UTSA for a season. Then he was Oregon's OC in 2023. Honestly, I am a little surprised to see him in a rather high profile job like OC at Oregon with his rather thin resume. How has this guy developed such a reputation when he's only been an OC for two seasons at two different schools? Is he really that good or is he simply riding the coattails of the guy who was there before him? Guys that have such a limited body of work to judge by always make me a little nervous,
That is usually the pattern. They hold the posting until they strike the deal
Who knows the official date of Yenser's termination. Maybe they backdated it to his previous paycheck.
Morehead is a excellent OC, he wasn't a amazing HC but a lot of coordinators aren't. I want Faulkner , Rees, JM, Johns in that order if those are the legit 4 in it.
Good because If we were able to coax our opponents into a game of Magic The Gathering, then I'd be all aboard the Scott Johns train.
We have to post that nonsense for 10 working days by law. it's ridiculous and we won't be able to announce anyone until that time passes.
That rule may be great for worker's who work at the state capitol, but in a university that rule is just plain stupid and needs to be changed by the State Reps....

Figure some politician's son/daughter got bypassed for some cushy state job and he/she sought retribution thru this bizarre law.
I agree with most of what you said, except your last two sentences which is an old school football cliche that carries increasingly less validity. Before I state my case, I will say that being able to run is a necessity because being one dimensional would likely make stopping the pass too easy, but the two statistics most correlated to winning are passing efficiency and defensive passing efficiency. For the elite teams, they can still run at will against lesser opponents, but they pass to win against each other and their defenses have exceptional pass coverage. There are individual exceptions to every data set, but college football has evolved in to the passing era due to the clear advantages the data analysis has shown.
Some Vol jackhole was going on about Tee Martin to UK. Referenced an article from AtoZ Sports, never heard of it, but the site states some interest is there.
Hard no for me on Martin. Thoughts?

Tee Martin? Hell no! If we have to go that far down our list to find a guy who will say yes, just give the job back to Eddie Gran. He may have a reputation for running the football, but at least we know he can win and adapt on the fly.
