Cincinnati's Gino Guidugli Emerges as Name to Watch in Kentucky OC Search
Kentucky’s offensive coordinator search is one-week old. Only one name has surfaced throughout the process, a familiar one, Liam Coen. Tuesday morning KSR has discovered another familiar name that appears to be in the mix for the vacant position, Gino Guidugli.
You may remember Guidugli as Jared Lorenzen’s successor at Ft. Thomas Highlands, or as the four-starter for the Cincinnati Bearcats in the early 00s. In 2022 he was promoted to offensive coordinator by Luke Fickell after spending five years on the Cincinnati coaching staff, primarily as the quarterbacks coach.
KSR previously mentioned Guidugli as a potential candidate to fill the vacant running backs position. Now sources say he’s emerged as a potential option at offensive coordinator. Justin Rowland shared similar news at Cats Illustrated.

Liam Coen remains Kentucky’s top choice. This morning we learned Ra’Shaad Samples is leaving the Rams to join Arizona State’s coaching staff. He’s the second Sean McVay assistant to return to the college coaching ranks in the last week.
It still feels like the dominoes are falling toward a Coen homecoming at Kentucky. However, throughout this process we’ve heard there were two or three more candidates Stoops was considering. Gino Guidugli appears to fit the billing.
