Mike Stoops has officially been named the Kentucky Wildcats’ new inside linebackers coach, the school announced Tuesday. Mike replaces Jon Sumrall, who’s now head coach of the Troy Trojans.
Kentucky head coach Mark Stoops now reunites with his brother after the two worked together at Arizona from 2004-09 when Mike was the head coach and Mark the defensive coordinator/defensive backs coach. The two Stoops also spent the 1991 season together at Iowa when Mike was the linebackers/defensive backs coach and Mark was a graduate assistant.
“I’m excited about the opportunity to coach with Mike again,” Mark Stoops said in a press release.
