Former Stoops assistant gives thoughts on Kentucky’s offensive struggles

A former Kentucky assistant under head coach Mark Stoops is speaking out on Twitter regarding the Cats’ offensive struggles to start the season.

Lamar Thomas, who was the wide receivers coach under Stoops for the 2016 and 2017 season shared his thoughts during UK’s loss to Georgia. Before he left Lexington, KSR’s Matt Jones reported that Thomas’ contract was not renewed “for one particular reason,” but a need for overall change at the position.
