The University of Kentucky has officially entered the college football arms race. Proof lies within Commonwealth Stadium and surrounding properties. However, I’d argue that adding quality control analysts to the Kentucky Football support staff is more of an indication of entrance into the SEC Cold War than waterfalls in the new training center.
The NFL has employed quality control assistants for several years. A number of college football programs have followed suit. The majority of programs with QC’s are deep pocketed contenders. In the national championship game, the number of Alabama and Clemson QC’s neared double digits. On Sunday, the Courier Journal’s Jon Hale reported that Brian Landis and Louie Matzakis will join Tommy Mangino as quality control analysists.
