Overview
- Kentucky announced Monday that Joe Sloan will run the offense, marking the first official hire on Will Stein’s staff.
- Sloan arrives after four seasons at LSU, where he worked closely with Jayden Daniels during Daniels’ 2023 Heisman Trophy campaign.
- LSU elevated Sloan to offensive coordinator in 2024, and the Tigers ranked second in the SEC and seventh nationally in passing at 315.2 yards per game.
- Stein praised Sloan’s SEC experience and said he will be an asset in Southern recruiting, citing his track record developing elite quarterbacks.
- Sloan’s move comes two weeks after Stein took over on a five-year, $28.5 million deal to replace Mark Stoops, who was fired after 13 seasons.
