Liam Coen to Tampa Bay

Seems like Coen may be on his way out of Lexington again.

He gone...again.

I would assume this will be the last of Coen at UK?

I would assume this will be more and more commonplace with college coaches going to the NFL.  The NIL and the transfer portal just makes coaching college football a brutal, never-ending pursuit.

As a Kentucky fan, I wish he would have stayed.  But, I can't blame him (or any college coach for that matter) for making the jump to the NFL in this current time.

Not sorry to see him go.  How about Gino Guidulli?

The guy leaves ND as QB coach to KY? Why? At ND they think about national championships......at UK they think about beating South Carolina and Vanderbilt.

I get what you're saying but that's all Notre Dame is doing, THINKING about National Championships. They haven't won a title since 1988.

Kentucky will find someone to plug in there and still finish in the middle of the SEC.   Not a huge loss.

They've been a bit more successful than UK right? Most folks feel Notre Dame is a much better situation than KY and always has been. That one in 1988 is at least one more than UK.

Hints, the reason I said I get what you're saying.  However, UK has a comparable record over the last few years and probably close to as many wins as Notre Dame.  Bowl wins, Kentucky is 4-4 since Stoops has been there, Notre Dame is 6-4 in the same time.  It's just not a huge difference especially when you look at the opponents and Notre Dame had been "better" the last 10 years.

I wonder how much difference in pay there is between these two positions on average.   If the  NFL pays more and you can avoid NIL, portal, HS recruiting, etc., then the  NFL looks all the better.

Go get the OC from UNLV.

Because offensive coordinator is closer to head coach than QB coach is. Very very few Head Coaches weren't a Coordinator prior to moving up to the Head Coach.

I believe he was OC at Cincinnati before going to Wisconsin and then to ND.
