Kentucky has had four offensive coordinator changes in four years, a constant turnstile of play-callers dating back to when the upcoming seniors were freshmen. So why is it that Mark Stoops is praising the program’s coaching stability and familiarity this spring?

Short answer: Liam Coen, who is entering his second stint with the Wildcats during that same stretch. The coordinator that led UK to its most efficient and explosive offense under Stoops back in 2021, headlined by Will Levis, Wan’Dale Robinson and Chris Rodriguez.

That trio of standouts is gone, but Coen is back, looking to recreate the same magic he found before he left a season ago.
