Oregon Offensive Coordinator Will Stein to Become Head Coach at Kentucky
Kentucky seeks Will Stein for head coach role due to his elite quarterback development and recruiting skills, despite limited Power 4 experience, experts say.
- Sources told ESPN on Monday that Kentucky is working toward a deal to hire Oregon offensive coordinator Will Stein to replace former Kentucky head coach Mark Stoops.
- Stein grew up in Louisville and has strong family ties to Kentucky, as both his parents attended the University of Kentucky and he played quarterback at the University of Louisville from 2009-2012.
- His Oregon Ducks helped produce top scoring offenses, and as of Dec 1, Oregon ranks 13th in total offense with 246 yards passing and 218 rushing per game.
- Kentucky's rapid hiring, after less than 24 hours of searching, arrives amid a busy SEC coaching cycle, with reports saying Will Stein will become Kentucky Wildcats' 38th head coach.
- Observers caution that Stein has limited Power 4 tenure despite appearing prepared under Dan Lanning, with Oregon's College Football Playoff semifinals on January 8 and 9 and the transfer portal opening January 3.
