LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) — Kentucky coach Mark Stoops has re-hired former Los Angeles Rams assistant Liam Coen as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach, returning him to the program he built into one of the SEC’s top attacks in 2021. Coen returned to the Rams as OC last season after a highly successful 2021 with the Wildcats, who went 10-3 and won the Citrus Bowl with a up-tempo scheme featuring quarterback Will Levis, wide receiver Wan’Dale Robinson and running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. Kentucky ranked fifth in Southeastern Conference scoring at 32.3 points per game and eighth in total offense (425.2 yards) that season.
