John Settle fired, per report

The first casualty of UK’s impending assistant coach shakeup has arrived.

On the first Monday following the conclusion of regular-season play, the school parted ways with running backs coach/co-special teams coordinator John Settle. BBN Tonight broke the news first.

Settle originally joined the Kentucky Wildcats in 2021 to replace Eddie Gran after he was let go as UK’s offensive coordinator and running backs coach. Settle came to UK following a coaching stint with the Wisconsin Badgers.

A big reason why Settle was let go is due to him having little impact on the recruiting trail for UK.
