Kentucky fired running backs coach and co-special teams coordinator John Settle on Monday.
According to Matt Jones of KSR, recruiting was likely the biggest reason why Settle was let go. In addition, Kentucky produced the program’s lowest rushing numbers of the Mark Stoops era in 2022.
BBN Tonight broke the news earlier today and the job is already posted as UK searches for a replacement.

Biggest reason for the replacement of John Settle was recruiting. I think the staff was very disappointed at his work in that area

It sounds like the replacement for Settle will be the running backs coach and new special teams coach (the Cats clearly need one of these).
