Last year, the defensive-minded head coach did a deep dive and interviewed numerous candidates. Yet, the winner of the search came a bit of left field.
In the end, Kentucky hired 35-year-old Liam Coen to call plays in the SEC after never spending a day in a power conference program or having a No. 1 assistant role on an NFL staff. In three seasons with the Los Angeles Rams (2018-20), Coen served as both the assistant wide receivers coach and assistant quarterbacks coach.
