HATTIESBURG, Miss. – For one Kentucky coach, Saturday’s game against Eastern Kentucky is not your normal meeting with a program from college football’s second division.
UK special teams coordinator and outside linebackers coach Dean Hood will coach against the school where he was head coach for eight seasons from 2008 to 2015.
“I’m sure I’ll get on the sideline and see those kids I recruited, see the kids I sat in their parents’ home and said ‘Hey, I’m gonna take care of your son’ and wasn’t able to see it to graduation for a lot of those kids,” Hood said.
