Now that the regular season is over, the Kentucky Football .l program is making some changes.
Sources told KSR that Offensive coordinator Eddie Grann and co-attacking coordinator and quarterback coach Darin Hinsho have been relieved of their duties.. Another abusive assistant should also be let go. Transfers have not been selected, but the source told KSR that the search would be “wide” and focused on “opening up the crime.”
This season, Kentucky averaged 311.8 yards of total offense, ranking 117th in the country, and 124.4 pass yards per game, which is 121st. The UK was just as bad in the red zone, ranking 25th below nationally. The Wildcats made just one touchdown against Florida, Georgia and Alabama. More than five years of Gran as offensive coordinator, Kentucky averaged 367 yards per game (11th in the SEC), 26.2 points per game (10th in the SEC), 225.9 rushing yards per game (fourth in the SEC), and 155 pass yards per game (13 in the SEC). ).
Although Kentucky’s crime was not always explosive, Gren discovered other ways to rewrite record books during his tenure.
Acting as Kentucky’s backs coach, he helped turn Benny Snell into the school’s all-time leading runner in just three seasons, breaking the 43-year-old record. The Wildcats had a thousand yards rush in their first four seasons and in 2019 they turned a haphazard offense into a winner by playing a huge receiver on the quarterback. Behind the Big Blue Wall, Lynn Bowden’s Wildcat broke the school’s single-game rushing record in consecutive games to end the regular season, including a 45-13 win over Lewisville.
In five years with Gran at the helm of crime in the UK, Wildcats were 36-26 in the Governor’s Cup with a 1-1 record. In Florida, Tennessee, the Wildcats also won the walk-comeback and Citrus Bowl in the Belk Bowl, which they snatched from the 10-win season in 2018.
Despite success in the first four years, in 2020 a former Cincinnati offensive coordinator and longtime Tommy Tuberville disciple was convicted of a felony. An emotionally and physically demanding year, instead of trying to crack the code once more with Gran, Stupes is aggressively hitting the rest of the button ahead of the 2021 season.
We will have more as this story develops.
