LEXINGTON, Ky. — Be honest, before he was hired as Kentucky football's offensive coordinator, you had never heard of Liam Coen.
It wasn't like Coen was a big name to the outside world. He had been an FCS quarterback at UMass and an offensive coordinator at Maine before Sean McVay brought him to Los Angeles as the Rams' assistant wide receivers coach in 2018.
That's where Mark Stoops found him, hiding in plain sight as assistant quarterbacks coach, before convincing Coen to leave the bright lights of L.A. for an offensive coordinator job in the SEC.
