Kentucky Fires OC Rich Scangarello

Kentucky fires Rich Scangarello

247 calls it "unexpected", but I'm not surprised at all. Kentucky's offense regressed significantly under him, in spite of having an high-level NFL draft prospect as QB.

Yeah they only scored 2/3 as much as they did in 2021 with pretty much the same personnel. Terrible OL explains a good bit, but dang that's a steep drop.

2021: 400 pts in regular season
2022: 265 pts in regular season

Yeah and the porous OL doesn't explain why Levis regressed so much.

The irony here is that the brought in Scangarello to implement a pro-style offense and boost Levis' draft stock, but if I were a GM, I'd be much more wary of drafting Levis after this season. I'm not saying he couldn't work out, but nothing about his play this year would make me want to draft him.

If Levis turns out to be the next Josh Allen (I don't think he will for the record), you have to think Scangarello majorly botched his usage of him.

Stoops should call D. Dickey.

Maybe they will go to an all defense system!

Kentucky fans are thinking they get Dan Mullen or Brian Hartline for OC. I assume they think they have an "in" with Hartline because his brother played for them... but I don't see him leaving OSU.

 

[Jeff Clark]

It wont help Kentucky because just like Phil Fulmer Mark Stoops likes to control the offense running a 1985 style power running game offense. This is shuffling the deck chairs on the Titanic.

Levis says thanks for nothing. A year late.

I saw an interview with him prior to the UT game, and that guy is a straight up bafoon. I don’t know how he was employed by the NFL, much less Kentucky.

That sucks. He needed at least two more years imo.

That is not in any way unexpected, Stoops was implying this would happen during the season, which is fairly unusual

I wonder if Golesh or Haisle might be on the radars of Kentucky or South Carolina as possible offensive coordinator replacements.

What? Golesh isn’t leaving UT for UK.

Unexpected? This guy was terrible and UK fans were rabid for his firing. Absolutely destroyed their offense.

He’s only passing game coordinator and WR coach though at OSU and I’m pretty sure Day does most of the play-calling so UK would be a promotion, if Stoops gives him autonomy.

I'm guessing you see Hartline join Luke Fickell at Wisconsin before he heads to Kentucky.

Poor Rich Scapegoat

 

[VolDave53]

Stoops should call D. Dickey.

Or maybe this guy. He LOVES Lexington.

Hal Mumme, ex-Kentucky Wildcats football coach, arrested in Lexington

Haha no doubt

Hard to be good on offense whenever Will Levis is your QB

 

[Matt2496]

Crap, I was hoping Kentucky would keep him.

Off the record, heard he is a fruit
