11 Personnel: Will Stein Drops the Mic at SEC Media Days

The SEC Media Days experience for the Kentucky football program was drastically different in 2025 than what we saw in 2026. The Dean of the SEC was replaced by the league’s youngest head coach, but Will Stein got people talking a lot more than Mark Stoops. When Adam Luckett got the mic in the Main Room, he teed up Stein for his Curt Cignetti moment. Why was Stein confident he could make Kentucky a winner? “Because of me.” It got the crowd in Tampa buzzing. It also showed the drastic dichotomy in where the program is now, versus a year ago.
