On Friday afternoon, Football Scoop reported that Mark Stoops is bringing older brother Mike Stoops to the University of Kentucky.
After spending six years together at the University of Arizona where Mark served as Mike’s defensive coordinator in the Pac-12, the brothers will have a reunion in the SEC.
Kentucky has now filled every opening on its coaching staff heading into the 2022 season. To replace Jon Sumrall, Mark Stoops is hiring a familiar face that will bring a ton of experience into the Joe Craft Football Training Facility.
Coordinator track record
In 2020, defensive coordinator Brad White was in his second season making the play calls in Lexington, but game-planning for those live-action moments is not a one-man operation.
