Eddie Gran officially returns to Kentucky: "This place is special."

Kentucky football coach Mark Stoops has announced former offensive coordinator Eddie Gran will return to the program as a special assistant to the head coach, an off-the-field role.

Gran, who served as the Wildcats’ assistant head coach of the offense, offensive coordinator and running backs coach from 2016-2020, was relieved of his duties back in December.

KSR first reported the news on Thursday.

“I’m grateful to have somebody with the experience of Eddie Gran rejoining our program in a different capacity,” Stoops said. “Eddie has a wealth of experience in many different areas. He will be an asset to me and our program.
