After officially firing Mark Stoops Monday morning following a 13-year tenure as head coach, Kentucky football has found its next leader.
Current Oregon offensive coordinator Will Stein is set to become the 38th head coach in program history, according to multiple reports including On3 and ESPN.
Stein is a Louisville native who led Trinity to three state titles.
He walked on at UofL and eventually played his way into a starting role.
His father, Matt Stein, played for Jerry Claiborne at UK and helped the Cats beat Tennessee in Neyland Stadium.
More details on the hiring of Will Stein as the new UK football coach should be announced today.
