Kentucky offensive coordinator Rich Scangarello was fired on Tuesday, becoming the second UK coach to lose his job just days after the conclusion of the 2022 regular season.
Scangarello was in Lexington for just one season, replacing Liam Coen in February after the latter accepted the offensive coordinator position with the Los Angeles Rams of the NFL.
While Scangarello’s hire was met with excitement around Lexington based on his NFL-mind and his history of working with NFL-level quarterbacks, Kentucky’s offense was nothing short of disappointing in 2022.
Kentucky scored over 30 points in a total of just three games all season, against Miami Ohio, FCS Youngstown State and Northern Illinois, and an average of 17.
