Hirings, firings and a timeline: Kentucky's Mark Stoops discusses staffing changes

LEXINGTON, Ky. — As Mark Stoops prepares to hire his sixth offensive coordinator in 10 years as Kentucky's head football coach, he asked for patience Monday. Given that filling the position has become old hat for Stoops — this is the third straight year the offensive coordinator spot has opened — he won't rush into making a hire.

"I just want to do my job, and after 10 years, I don't feel any heat or pressure, if you will, from any outside source, whether it be a recruit, a current player, a media member, a fan, the loudest person on Twitter," Stoops said.
