Mark Stoops and his Kentucky football program finally had their big breakthrough in 2018. The Wildcats won 10 games, finished inside the top-15, and saw both Josh Allen and Benny Snell Jr. set numerous program records. However, there were wonders if this program could do it again.
After Jon Sumrall joined the program from Ole Miss following the 2018 season, the organization quickly realized they were in great hands with Brad White handling defensive play-calling and Sumrall becoming a great developer and recruiter. Meanwhile, Eddie Gran was entering his fourth season as the offensive coordinator in Lexington.
However, that stability has now officially disappeared following the second double-digit win season in four years.
