Trivia question: During his Kentucky tenure, who served as Jerry Claiborne’s offensive and defensive coordinators?
3,2,1….
Coach Claiborne did not have coordinators. QB coach Jerry Eisman called the offensive plays (ones that weren’t overridden by JC) and LB coach Terry Strock led the Wide Tackle 6 defense. Neither had the official “coordinator” title. Much is being written and discussed about Mark Stoops’ decision to not name a special teams coordinator. Fact is, I’d never heard of a special teams coach until the Dallas Cowboys hired Joe Avezanno in 1990. He was prominently shown on television during both positive and negative ST plays.
