New Kentucky head coach Will Stein is working swiftly to hire his first coaching staff while also helping Oregon prepare for a College Football Playoff game. After getting both coordinators set, the ball really got rolling this weekend with four hires. While that was happening, a former Kentucky staffer found a new landing spot.
Brad Lambert spent the 2025 season with Kentucky as a defensive analyst. The long-time defensive coordinator and former Charlotte head coach will no longer be working as a support staffer in college football. Marshall has hired the 60-year-old to be the next defensive coordinator in Huntington.
