College football has entered its offseason, often referred to as “talking season.” Every year, anonymous quotes from coaches offer a glimpse into what they truly think. Now, as Will Stein prepares for his first season at Kentucky, rival coaches are weighing in on him.
Athlon Sports collected anonymous thoughts from coaches, and some of their comments on Stein stood out. One coach questioned whether Stein’s success at Oregon was largely due to the talent advantage he enjoyed there, and whether he can replicate that at Kentucky, where recruiting talent is more challenging.
“Given the talent level he inherited at Oregon, he had more firepower than most opponents. It’ll be interesting to see how he adjusts from being at a program with plenty of resources to one with fewer advantages and whether he can maintain his energy and connection with players through that transition.”
Another coach expressed curiosity about Kentucky’s new quarterback, Kenny Minchey.
“I haven’t watched much of him yet, but I’ve heard positive things about his athleticism and character. He clearly has real ability, and quarterbacks like that are hard to come by.”
