The Kentucky Wildcats’ defense was a disaster down the stretch of the 2017 season, but the man calling the shots will keep his job.
According to SEC Country, Matt House will be retained as UK’s defense coordinator for the 2018 season. However, the report does not yet specify if House will continue to call the defense or if Mark Stoops will go back to doing so, just as he did in 2016 when the defense had its best stretch of football during his tenure.
It’s not a surprise to see House remain, given that he was in just his first year as the defensive playcaller in Lexington.
