During Wednesday’s SEC teleconference with league coaches, Mark Stoops confirmed that Liam Coen will coach Saturday when Kentucky plays host to Akron.
“Liam will be back in his normal capacity, which we’re just very grateful,” said Stoops. “I will refrain from saying too much. I’m sure Liam will tell the story as he wishes. I just want to respect him in that way.”
Great news!
UPDATE 2
Kentucky Wildcats offensive coordinator Liam Coen has been discharged from a local hospital following his medical episode, which occurred this past Sunday.
Coen also plans to be coaching at this Saturday’s game vs. Akron, he said in a statement posted on Twitter.
“My family and I thank you for all the support and prayers these past couple of days,” Coen said. “The #BBN community is truly amazing. I’m doing much better, thankful for the care I received at UK Chandler Hospital, and can’t wait to see you Saturday at Kroger Field.
“Go Cats!”
Wonderful to see!
UPDATE
During his Monday press conference, UK head coach Mark Stoops gave a brief update on offensive coordinator Liam Coen, though he didn’t mention Coen’s name directly.
“It’s been a challenging day or so for us. We will continue to push forward, as always. I think the prognosis of things looks good with the people in our office and that will be back in our office. I’ll leave it at that on that subject,” Stoops said.
Here’s to hoping Coen has a speedy recovery and is back to full health very soon.
