Will Stein is balancing two important jobs right now: coaching Oregon’s offense in hopes of winning a national championship, while also building a staff and roster in Lexington as he prepares for his first gig as a college head coach.
He’s not in a unique spot, either. This coaching cycle brought plenty of movement in between the end of the regular season and the upcoming College Football Playoff. Kentucky had to act quickly once Mark Stoops was fired, hiring Stein less than 48 hours later. There are a handful of coaches across the country finishing out the season with their current school before they move on to dedicate all time and resources to their new job.
