Pick the Next DC

I don't know about Miles but his DC is probably gonna be out of work soon. Might be worth lookin into.
Dunno. LSU has a damn good DC. I wouldn't be surprised to see him retained by the next HC.
I hope not. I doubt Stoops would make the call but I would love to have him on our sidelines.
If Stoops is to remain head coach the rest of the year and it appears he is, he needs to be the DC and leave the offense in the hands of Gran.
Agreed. No need to fire/hire before the end of the season. Stoops needs to retain control of the defense. And if I were him I'd retain control next yr as well.....until either he's fired or gets us to a bowl game (thereby providing the appearance of stability).....then make a hire.
I'd hire the offensive coordinator at South Carolina. He's the only one I've seen make our defense look good.
One problem UK will have hiring a new DC, unless we make a major turnaround, Stoops is a dead man walking and ever possible DC knows it. Would you accept a job knowing it's likely you will be fired after next year? I suspect any desirable DC will demand a big guaranteed contract.
Matt House, already on staff, former DC at Pittsburg and FIU. He has done wonders with our Special Teams.
and he's a pro disc golfer which is awesome
Those two guys would either be looking a HC job, or, at least, a premiere DC job.
For me, House would be a realistic option, or maybe Ansley. Or maybe Stoops will be the de facto DC and he keeps Eliot as the figurehead.
This could be a good move. Really impressed with House. House and Gran need to stay at UK.
I agree. Mason is excellent on defense. Coaches from other schools seek his defensive wisdom .
