My First Impressions of Rich Scangarello

There’s a huge difference between judging a coach by watching press conferences on the computer and seeing the coordinator answer questions in person. I first saw Kentucky offensive coordinator on Monday. Rich Scangarello talked to the media after practice and I have to say that I was impressed.

First, it’s obvious that Scangarello is a detailed, highly intelligent, and analytical coach that appears to eat, sleep, and do football stuff twenty-four hours a day. He is calmer by nature than Liam Coen. The former coordinator had a tendency to get a little excited.
