He agreed to a new two-year contract, effective July 1 of this year, that paid him $500,000 a year through June 30, 2022. Hinshaw has been UK’s quarterbacks coach since Gran was hired in 2016 both came from the University of Cincinnati. In that event, UK reserves the right “to reduce continuing payment obligations to (Gran) to the extent that he earns other salary and additional compensation” from his new school. 31 of this year, Gran would have 30 months remaining on his contract over which UK would owe him $2.35 million unless he were to find other employment as a football coach following termination.

In addition to paying new coaches, UK is set to pay a combined $3.1 million to Gran and Hinshaw through the buying out of their contracts. But I try to stay out of the way and not be part of the problem.” FinancialsĪs Kentucky’s offense revamps itself it will come at great expense. When things are not looking right I’m gonna step in and try to be part of the solution. I know when things are not looking right, that’s for sure. I know what a good offense needs to look like but I cannot spend my time in there and also be with the defense. “I don’t have the time to be involved, or the expertise. There’s things you have to deal with as the head coach, but I am very, very limited as far as input. … I wish I could just be left alone for two or three hours in a defensive meeting without getting pulled out of there every 15 minutes for something. “I am very, very limited in what I’m involved as far as what they play, how they plan, what they practice,” stoops said. You need to recognize the work that they’ve done.” I care deeply about them personally and I thank them. ![]() … I can’t thank them enough for what they’ve done, and the work that that’ve put in. “Eddie and I, our relationship goes back a long way and he has been part of some of the best years of the University of Kentucky’s history,” Stoops said. They were 36-26 in their time guiding UK’s offense. 1 finish in 2019 that was good for fourth nationally.īoth coaches were part of teams that played in four straight bowls and a fifth - the current edition - that will play in a bowl if an invitation is extended, Stoops confirmed Sunday. The production they managed in the passing game never materialized at UK, but the running game flourished: UK four times finished among the top half of the Southeastern Conference in total rushing, including a No. 6 overall in total offense in 2015 prior to their migration south to Lexington. In three seasons at Cincinnati, Gran and Hinshaw led an offense that ranked in the top 20 in total passing each year, and was No. (Former Boston College head coach Jeff Jagodzninski has been acting as an interim offensive line coach over the last month.) Lastly, I want to thank all the players I’ve coached at UK, I love you all and will never forget the great victories and history we made at Kentucky.”īetween their firings and the death of offensive line coach John Schlarman during the season, UK as of Sunday has only two offensive coaches with active contracts: tight ends coach Vince Marrow, who has been on Mark Stoops’ staff since he was hired as head coach, and wide receivers coach Jovon Bouknight, who was hired earlier this year. I want to thank Eddie Gran, being with him the last eight years and going to eight straight bowl games. It was an honor to be on his staff and coach the quarterbacks the last five years. “Mark Stoops is an unbelievable head coach, friend, and someone I look up to. Capilouto and Mitch Barnhart for the opportunity to coach at UK,” Hinshaw said in another release. Hinshaw was co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. ![]()
