Oregon offensive coordinator Will Stein has emerged as a name to know in Kentucky’s search for a next head football coach. However, this is a former Louisville quarterback. How would that fit for everyone involved.
Well, this is a unique case.
Wills father, Matt Stein, played defensive end at Kentucky in the 1980s under Jerry Claiborne. The older Stein was on the last Kentucky team to beat Tennessee at Neyland Stadium until the Cats ended that long losing streak in 2020. His mother also graduated from the University of Kentucky. Stein and his brothers grew up making the drive down I-64 and going to games in Lexington.
