Kentucky Hires Will Stein

Interesting. Several new SEC coaches I have no idea who they are or what their credentials are. Of course Penn State may hire Terry Smith - their interim guy. Fire James Franklin and hire Terry Smith - well sounds like an Ole Miss 36 month likely tenure. Will Stein sounds like the lady who ran for president a few years ago - Jill Stein. SEC may eat him up but we shall see.

Kentucky hires Will Stein, a Kentucky native and arguably one of the greatest offensive minds in college football today.

I don’t know much about him but what makes him “one of the greatest offensive minds in college football”. I looked up Oregon scoring and it’s nothing impressive against good teams. For example 20 Indiana, 21 Wisconsin, 18 Iowa and 17 PSU in regulation (another 13 in 2OTs). They do put up a lot of points against bad teams or bad defenses. .

Will Stein, not to be confused with former UK basketball player Willie Cauley Stein.

".... arguably one of the greatest offensive minds in college football today."

Seriously? I wouldn't expect any 36 year old football coach to have a lengthy coaching resume, so I'm not holding that against him, but where is that hype coming from?

Are you his agent or something?

I wonder if some of these guys know they are going to fail, but they tell their families "look, worst case scenario, we'll be there 3-4 years, and make at least $25 million, probably closer to $50+ million, and be set up for life".

Admit I know next to nothing about this guy; he may sneakily be the best hire of the cycle or worst. But I can't imagine Kentucky right now is his best chance for long-term success as HC.

Also like that they already have an AI / photoshop type image of the guy in Kentucky gear. He's a former Louisville QB. I doubt he's ever worn UK gear in the past 17 years.

He grew up in a UK family going to UK games. Dad played at Kentucky. Only reason Will went to Louisville as a preferred walk-on was because UK didn’t make him an offer.

This seems like a deal was done before they even fired Stoops

36 year old coordinators are dime a dozen in big scheme of things.

But big blue can roll dice in football because no one has cared since Hal Mumme got too big for his britches

UK just got a commitment from Kenny Darby out of Louisiana.

4 star recruit who had decommitted from LSU.

Nice pickup for Kentucky. Curious to see how the defense looks for them.

I get the feeling Stein is going to be another Hal Mumme.

I am happy with a high flying offense so long as we have a stout Defense.

Lorenzen died in 2019. I had forgotten that he’d passed until McCat mentioned it, so I did a quick internet search.

Really?

I did not know...very sorry. Besides against the Vols, I always enjoyed watching that guy.

Ya he did some crazy stuff on the field but died to comorbidities tied to being overweight.

His son Tayden is playing at his dad's HS now and is 6-3 230lbs as a TE. That would be an imposing body to stop at that age.
