Just when you thought Will Stein<\/a> had finished making offseason moves, the Wildcats\u2019 head coach added another assistant to his first Kentucky coaching staff. <\/p>\n

Pete Nakos reports<\/a> that Dallas Warmack<\/a> will be an assistant offensive line coach for Kentucky in 2026. This gives the Big Blue Wall three coaches. Cutter Leftwich<\/a> is the head honcho. He will be joined by Warmack and Derek Warehime<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Warmack has not been coaching for long because he just stepped off the field a few years ago. The Atlanta native started his career at Alabama and transferred to Oregon for his final two seasons of college football. He started in 24 games at right guard and earned All-Pac-12 honors during his final season in 2019. <\/p>\n

During each of Stein\u2019s three seasons as the Oregon offensive coordinator, the Ducks were one of three finalists for the Joe Moore Award, given annually to the nation\u2019s top offensive line. Stein nicknamed the group the \u201cLaw Firm.\u201d They did not take home the hardware after the 2025 season. Iowa was selected as the Joe Moore Award winner.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo be completely honest, I\u2019m really shocked they didn\u2019t win the Joe Moore Award. I mean, statistically, it was a shock to me. Like those guys, to me, are the best offensive line unit in the country,\u201d Stein said ahead of the CFP Semifinal<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\u201cThey played that way through injuries, through different games where we\u2019ve had to run it to win, throw it to win. Those guys are a great group, led by A\u2019lique (Terry), Cutter (Leftwich) in that room, Ryan Walk, and Holden Whipple. The whole \u2018Law Firm\u2019 with Dallas (Warmack) in there as well. Like those guys are coached better than any place I\u2019ve ever been, and then they\u2019ve played as a unit better than any year, probably since we\u2019ve been here. So excited about them, and I know they\u2019re excited for this challenge ahead.\u201d <\/p>\n

Stein led a well-coached offensive line at Oregon. He\u2019s bringing two of those assistants with him to Kentucky. After investing in three Top 125 transfer portal offensive linemen, it\u2019s clear offensive line is a top priority for Will Stein. <\/p>\n
