Kentucky head coach Will Stein is staying on as Oregon’s offensive coordinator throughout the College Football Playoff (CFP) run for the Ducks. We now know that Kentucky’s new defensive coordinator will be doing the same.
The Wildcats have not made the hire of Jay Bateman official yet but Texas A&M promoting Lyle Hemphill to defensive coordinator all but confirms the expected move. On Friday, On3’s Pete Nakos confirmed that Bateman will also be staying with the Aggies throughout their run in the CFP.
Jay Bateman, 52, is a Virginia native who played linebacker at Randolph-Macon from 1991-94.
