He was a long time assistant coach and former Wildcat wide receiver. He had a great start with an away win against Louisville, Kentucky’s main rival. The 2010 team saw a long losing streak to South Carolina ended by defeating the Gamecocks at home. They lost games to both Ole Miss and Mississippi State, however, then lost to a Florida team on a down year.
