Chad Johnson interested in UK job? Former Bengals great teases interest online

Kentucky needs a new wide receivers coach. You can apply here if you are qualified and interested. Respectfully, you probably aren’t, but the job is vacant and posted online, per school policy. Good luck. You’ll need it because at least one former NFL wide receiver is kicking the idea around, too.

On Thursday, former Cincinnati Bengals great Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson replied to a tweet suggesting he should be Mark Stoops’ new wide receiver coach in Lexington. Not a no, Johnson replied to the Kentucky fan with a path to his ultimate post-playing career goal in football.
