Why is everyone infatuated with Coen.

Say what you want about the NFL, but it's a copycat league. He's a young guy who doesn't really seem to have immediate aspirations of becoming a head coach that is from a coaching tree that everyone else is trying to hire from as well.

It does seem a little hard to figure. His year with the Rams wasn’t good by any measure. And this year, he didn’t get much out of a supposed top-notch qb (although I still think Leary was damaged goods, surely he couldn’t have been that far off of his N C State performances if he was totally healthy). I’d bet Coen is back in Lexington this fall. But my picks of late haven’t been too on the money, so we’ll see.

I feel a lot better about him coming back now that I've seen some of the other names that are linked to the jobs that he was associated with.

Think Coen is in a great spot at Kentucky and that it's a great fit for both he and the program given where each currently stands.

I hope he one day leaves Kentucky to become an NFL head coach or has a prestigious NFL OC role thrown at him because that probably means he's been extremely successful in Lexington.
