  • Less is More as Stoops Gets His Man John Settles

    The replacement of departed Eddie Gran, the University of Kentucky needed a running-backs coach. In the interim, it was rumored that Stoops had planned to place Vince Marrow in the running backs room because he wanted strength in the room.

    Then along came Cincinnati Bengals Jemal Singleton for the running backs coach. Singleton appeared to be a home-run hire given all the Pro-experience on his resume. That lasted not more than a month. He left to be the running-backs coach and Assistant Head Coach for the Philadelphia Eagles. A blow to the BBN.

    However, in Mark Stoops's typical fashion he meticulously hired Wisconson Badgers running-back coach John Settles. Given the Settles resume, this is a grand-slam hire.

    Settles has two-stints with the Badgers separated by stints with NFL franchises. He has the placement of several running-backs in the Pro ranks to his credit. The most recent is the Jonathan Taylor with the Seattle Seahawks.

    So, sometimes 'less ie more' when moves occur. Stoops got a highly qualified coach and he got that strength in that running-back room.
