LEXINGTON – Little brother is now the boss, but Kentucky football head coach Mark Stoops and new linebackers coach Mike Stoops insist any concerns about family dynamics have long gone by the wayside.
“When you’re this old are you really bigger brother or older brother?” Mark said with a laugh Tuesday when asked about any sibling rivalry on staff. “I think that narrative needs to die because we’re both old.”
Mike worked with older brother Bob Stoops at Iowa and Kansas State then for Bob in two separate stops at Oklahoma. When Mike was hired as Arizona’s head coach, he hired Mark as his defensive coordinator.
