Mark Stoops talks about DC search, which includes Mike Stoops

Mark Stoops is looking for a new defensive coordinator after Matt House left for the Chiefs. Does that mean Mark will look to his own family coaching tree for a replacement?

In an interview with KSR, Mark revealed that he will “absolutely” consider brother Mike Stoops for the Kentucky Wildcats’ next defensive coordinator.

The former Oklahoma Sooners defensive coordinator was fired midway through the 2018 season after his defense became one of the worst of any Power 5 team (you can read more about him here). It definitely wouldn’t be the best hire Kentucky could make, but there is at least familiar between the Stoops brothers.
