Kentucky head coach Mark Stoops made the hard call on Tuesday. After one disappointing season with offensive coordinator Rich Scangarello, the Cats have decided to go in another direction. For the fourth time in four seasons, UK will have a new play-caller in 2022.
With a very active transfer portal period expected to start on Dec. 5 along with National Signing Day a couple of weeks later, Kentucky is entering a very busy and critical few weeks for the football program. That period just got even more important as a huge coaching search starts now.
A lot is riding on Stoops to get this next hire right.
