Former offensive coordinator Randy Sanders to coach Kentucky quarterbacks
GoVolsxtra.com is reporting that former Tennessee Volunteer offensive coordinator Randy Sanders will coach quarterbacks for the Kentucky Wildcats next year.
Sanders apparently accepted the job on Saturday after it had been offered to him Friday.
More from the Tennessean:
Tennessee Coach Philip Fulmer shrugged off the irony of having Sanders in the same division.
“It’s just the nature of the business, and he’ll do a good job for them,” Fulmer said. “We play them every year, so there’s not a lot of secrets anyway.”
Kurt Roper spent last season as the Wildcats’ quarterbacks coach, but was hired earlier this month to coach running backs at Tennessee. Roper was a graduate assistant at UT from 1996-98.
Sanders, who resigned last season after seven years as the Vols’ offensive coordinator, will step in for Roper at Kentucky. Sanders will not be the offensive coordinator at Kentucky. Joker Phillips enters his second season as the Wildcats’ play-caller.
