Chad Scott leaving Kentucky Football for North Carolina; Blake Rolan may be targeted as replacement

The Kentucky Wildcats are losing an assistant football coach to one of their biggest rivals...on the hardwood at least.

Running backs coach Chad Scott is leaving UK for a job with the North Carolina Tar Heels, according to a report from Football Scoop. The reports says Scott will coach UNC's tight ends, which is a bit of an odd move since he's been coaching running backs most of his coaching career.

After all, Scott originally played for the Cats in 2000 as a true freshman running back, starting in six games while totaling 611 yards and was named to the All-SEC Freshman Team and third-team Freshman All-America honors.
