“Duties include but not limited to the following: coaching, recruiting, football camps, academic and personnel support and all necessary administrative work as assigned by Head Coach,” the listing says. “Must adhere to all UK, SEC & NCAA rules and regulations.”

ESPN’s Adam Rittenberg reported Tuesday morning that Coen was expected to take the offensive coordinator position with the Rams, confirming the expected deal previously announced by NFL reporter Albert Breer.
