Great “prove it” spot for him. Also a Kentucky native so basically home for him.

Good hire for Kentucky. They're broke broke. Not sure where they're getting the money to buy out Stoops and pay Stein.

Is this a good hire? Oregon's offense has been very meh to me against teams with a pulse. He's only been coaching in P4 as a coordinator for three years and only three more as a Co/OC at UTSA. Just 6 years ago he was coaching high school. Very risky hire as a HC in the SEC if you ask me.

He’s had one of, if not, the most efficient offense in CFB the past 3 years.

This year Oregon replaced virtually everyone. Also, the top 3 pass catchers were injured in November.

He just produces.

Because he has better players than every team he plays against. Let's see him produce when Kentucky has the 14th-16th best roster in the SEC. Being a HC in the SEC is hard, especially for someone who has never been a HC. This could be a great hire, or it could easily go up in flames.

That is a good hire if it gets done for Kentucky. IMO

He did it at UTSA too. They had a rash of injuries to the OL and adapted the scheme to it. The guy knows X’s and O’s and he develops.

We'll see. Joe Moorhead had all these great stats as an OC at Penn State with Saquan Barkley, and he sucked as a HC at Mississippi State. Went 8-5 with the number 1 defense in the nation that produced three first round picks. Hiring coordinators for their first HC job in the SEC is a big risk.

It’s Kentucky. You either get a high floor, low ceiling coach or get one that has a high ceiling.

Lanning really wants to develop his coaching tree and he runs the program like an SEC one. Stein had 3 years as an OC where the coach is a defensive one.
