LEXINGTON — Kentucky football's offseason will begin with a search for a new offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach.
Mark Stoops fired offensive coordinator Eddie Gran and co-offensive coordinator Darin Hinshaw on Sunday after their offense ranked outside the top 100 nationally in passing yards per game, total yards per game and points per game in the regular season.
Kentucky's next offensive coordinator will face significant personnel change with the bulk of the Wildcats' offensive line and quarterback Terry Wilson leaving. Stoops has spoken openly about the need for Kentucky to become more balanced offensively with a credible passing attack, but it is unlikely he would hire a coordinator who runs a pass-happy attack that does not also emphasize the run.
