Kentucky special teams coordinator Steve Ortmayer, who held that position for the past seven season, will not return for the 2010 season.
UK spokesman Tony Neely confirmed on Thursday that Ortmayer would not return to the Wildcats next season, and said that decision was made by UK head coach Joker Phillips.

I don’t know about you, but this doesn’t hurt me in the least. Our special teams needed vast improvement, so maybe Joker will fill this need with a top up and coming coach. It is the SEC and Kentucky has to be better on special teams. Special teams is like making free throws. Very important part of the game.
