The Kentucky Wildcats have announced the hiring of Steve Clinkscale to be the team's new defensive backs coach.
The former Cincinnati Bearcats co-defensive coordinator was originally rumored to be the guy back on Feb. 21, but the move is now official as UK appears to have their 2016 coaching staff set.
"I am very impressed with Coach Clinkscale's knowledge and the way he handles himself with players," said head coach Mark Stoops. "He is well-seasoned in terms of experience. Coaches I greatly respect - Coach (Eddie) Gran and Coach (Darin) Hinshaw - who worked with him in Cincinnati speak very highly of him.
