New Kentucky head coach Will Stein continues to build his first coaching staff while preparing for a College Football Playoff game with Oregon over 2,000 miles away. The work got one step closer to completion when Stein closed in on his running backs coach.
The latest staff addition is one that Stein — and likely many Kentucky fans — are familiar with.
Kolby Smith played at Louisville and was a long-time assistant coach for Bobby Petrino. The 41-year-old will also bring NFL and SEC experience to Stein’s program.
