There are no hard feelings between Kentucky football’s former coach and the one now in charge.
In a 31-minute interview on The Zach Gelb Show from earlier this week, Will Stein fielded plenty of questions about life as the Wildcats’ new head coach. Among the topics of discussion was his relationship with the man he replaced, Mark Stoops. As it turns out, Stein and Stoops have chopped it a few times since the transition that happened back in the winter.
“I connected with Coach Stoops when I got the job,” Stein told Gelb. “We’ve talked a handful of times. Not for an extended amount or things. But he expressed to me that he’s in full support of Kentucky. He loves Kentucky. He loves Lexington. He loves the University. He loves this football program. He wants to see it be successful. Knowing that I have that support from the person who I am replacing is huge. You don’t want any animosity.
