Former LSU football coordinator Joe Sloan has found a new home. Sloan is sticking in the SEC, according to reports, landing a job as Kentucky's OC. The move comes days after Kentucky hired Oregon OC Will Stein as head coach.

Stein is one of the best playcallers in the business and will have a heavy hand in the Wildcat's offense, but Pete Thamel says Sloan will call the plays in Lexington.

LSU fired Sloan in October, cutting ties with the OC less than 24 hours after parting ways with head coach Brian Kelly.

Sloan was part of Kelly's inaugural LSU staff in 2021, serving as QBs coach under then LSU OC Mike Denbrock. Sloan was Jayden Daniels' coach during Daniels' record-breaking 2023 Heisman run. Sloan's work with Daniels earned him a promotion.

After Denbrock left for Notre Dame, Kelly tabbed Sloan as LSU's next OC. The results in 2024 were mixed, but the unit remained solid. However, in 2025, the group took a massive step back and was one of the worst offenses in the SEC.
