Turner takes Over

It is being reported that David Turner has accepted the position of Defensive Line Coach at UK. Turner comes to the CATS from Mississippi State where he has served since 2007. Previously, he had headed up the Defensive Ends at Alabama (2006) and served as Vandy's Recruiting Coordinator from 2002-05. The 47 yr old graduated from Davidson in 1985 with a degree in Sociology.

David replaces Rick Petri (former UK D-line coach) who was let go when Joker Phillips took over as Head Coach when Rich Brooks retired. Petri had come under scrutiny for his perceived lack of recruiting High School talent to the team. Turner began his coaching career at Davidson in 1986 as a running backs/tight end coach.
