Growth and change are an essential part of the college football business. Dan Lanning has often said he wants to establish a coaching tree and create opportunities for his staff.
Reports from Chris Low and Pete Nakos of On3 Sports and PFF College indicate that the Kentucky Wildcats are hiring Oregon offensive coordinator Will Stein as their new football coach after firing Mark Stoops earlier in the day.
Stein, 36, has built high-powered, winning offenses for the Ducks over the last three years with Bo Nix, Dillon Gabriel and Dante Moore, sending the first two to the NFL.
