Thank you, Liam Coen. The offensive coordinator is off to the NFL after one season with the Wildcats. The news of his departure brings on a peculiar sense of relief after weeks of worried speculation. It also yields grave concern about the unknown.
Mark Stoops coveted balance when he moved on from Eddie Gran. Coen delivered with an offense that averaged 200 yards rushing and passing per game. Coen’s unit experienced early bumps in the road, especially in the turnover margin. But, Kentucky averaged over 519 yards and 41 points in the last five games of the 2021 season.
