Twitterverse says Neal Brown to be new OC at Kentucky

Getting the heck out of Lubbock to come back home.

Only makes sense for a Tony Franklin disciple to return to Kentucky.

He's also from Danville, KY, and played for UK during the Couch years. Would be fun to combine the Stoops defense with the return of Air Raid. Football just became fun again.

He would be a great hire for UK.

I'm excited about both, but football is usually where I hang my hat.

Let's make it a done deal, coach. Interesting about Chad Scott. He was a RB at UK at the same time as Brown.

Just heard an interview with Brown on Texas Tech radio. His words: "Well, I'm on the road recruiting for Texas Tech today."

"I don't wanna talk about any other jobs. A lot of the talk out there is premature."

He DIDN'T say, "I won't be leaving Texas Tech to go to Kentucky."

Lol, it' s that time of the year.

Tony and Dykes both left Kentucky on a sour note. Tony still runs his system out of Lex, but it's there regardless. People are on this kick that what he runs won't work here, and it is complete bogus. Sumlin runs majority of same concepts. Brown happens to be faster. Turbo fast. I like what he is doing.

Multiple news sources running with the story that he is to be announced as UK's OC tomorrow. Bringing former UK OL John Schlarman with him, as well as Chad Scott.

Huge upgrades for UK staff. DC & HC are from the #2 defense in the country, and OC Brown had the #2 offense in the country. With strong recruiting, this could be the start of something good for the Cats.

Was the Hinshaw hire official?

None of these hires can be official until tomorrow, when the job postings close. UK is mum on all positions.

This is the most football hype statewide probably in the history of the state. (UK and WKU combined) And very welcome as far as I'm concerned.
