The worst-kept secret for Kentucky football is a secret no more.
The program’s new offensive coordinator is its old offensive coordinator. Liam Coen is returning to Lexington after one season as the Los Angeles Rams offensive coordinator.
UK confirmed Coen’s return Tuesday, which had been assumed for weeks amid multiple reports that Coen and Kentucky head coach Mark Stoops were waiting for the NFL season to end to finalize the hire. Coen was Kentucky’s offensive coordinator during the 2021 season.
