February 2, 201610 yr I remember him best when the DB from Alabama tracked him down and stripped him from a sure TD in the National Title tilt. Yeah, I'll unfortunately never forget that! Teague was who stripped him from behind if I remember correctly.
February 2, 201610 yr Lamar will give the receivers something they have been wanting for a while now. Someone who was highly successful at the highest level at their position. Doesn't matter who the coach is if they don't catch the ball. That was their biggest problem this year.
February 2, 201610 yr He will bring an attitude to the WRs. He is a good recruiter also. He was a good recruiter of Florida talent for WKU, correct? UK can use a guy like him. It can't get worse can it? FSU and Miami Hurricanes backgrounds at UK? Embrace it.
February 2, 201610 yr Has a college coach, more than half of the job is the ability to recruit. He gives the staff another pipeline to FL extending all the way down to Miami. How good would UL have been if Jackson was not the QB for them last year? Jody Demling can say he didn't "coach" the WRs, but Lamar Thomas has is finger prints on the offense in other capacities. For the WRs ability to catch the ball, they can practice more on their own, because during practice they're not going to have to opportunity to catch 500 balls during a 2 to 3 hour practice. They need to take pride in their craft. As stated earlier, he brings instant credibility. If I was him the first position meeting I had, I would play "The U" for them. Just so they get a reminder of his credentials.
February 2, 201610 yr Thomas is exactly what UK needs. A guy that can back up what he's teaching, demand respect from a group of divas and can open doors in Miami/Dade.
February 2, 201610 yr I'm pretty sure he was WR coach at Louisville under Strong. No Ron Dugans coached them under Strong. Lamar has been with Bobby since his time at WKU.
February 2, 201610 yr Lamar Thomas will help with recruiting at UK. But that isn't the issue the Cats have. I wish Coach Thomas well. It obvious to me he doesn't like working in the month of December. I think its a good choice to go to UK, will have more time around the Holidays to spend with Family.

February 2, 201610 yr No Ron Dugans coached them under Strong. Lamar has been with Bobby since his time at WKU. Ok. I just thought that Lamar was at Louisville in 2013 .
February 2, 201610 yr Someone is salty today..... Not at all. Just stating an opinion on the matter. I can't think any other reason to leave a program on the up tick to go to a program with the Head Coach on life support. I understand he is getting a raise. So if more money and less days is what is attractive to Coach Thomas wish him well. Trust me no reason to be salty. It is nice seeing little brother want to try and hire Coaches away from Big Brother.

Or, maybe he is just willing to accept an opportunity that allows him escape the bacteria infested slimy petri dish that is the Louisville athletic program (Looking at you Jurich, Petino, Petrino).
February 2, 201610 yr Or, maybe he is just willing to accept an opportunity that allows him escape the bacteria infested slimy petri dish that is the Louisville athletic program (Looking at you Jurich, Petino, Petrino). Not Coach Thomas he is from the U.
February 2, 201610 yr Not Coach Thomas he is from the U. Yeah, but I heard that he caddied for his daughter one time, so all of his previous transgressions can be forgotten.
