LEXINGTON - When Kentucky football opens spring practice Tuesday, Mark Stoops' staff will still be missing one full-time assistant.

Stoops has been deliberate in his search to replace former special teams coordinator and defensive backs coach Dean Hood, who was hired as Murray State's head coach in December. The UK coach was working to hire his brother, former Arizona head coach Mike Stoops, for the job, but Mike elected to stay at Alabama, where he serves as an analyst on Nick Saban's staff.
