Mark Stoops will consider his brother Mike for Defensive Coordinator Vacancy

@UKCoachStoops

Is Lexington big enough for the Stoops brothers? We may soon find out.

Mark Stoops appeared in the second hour of this morning’s Kentucky Sports Radio. After discussing Matt House’s departure at length, Matt Jones asked Stoops if he would potentially hire his brother, Mike. Mark Stoops said he’s considering all options, including his brother or an in-house hire.

Mike Stoops served as Oklahoma’s defensive coordinator for the last seven seasons. Before his time at Oklahoma, Mike Stoops was Arizona’s head coach, where Mark spent six years working for his older brother. Two weeks ago Mike Stoops took a job as a quality control analyst for Nick Saban at Alabama.
