UK football notebook: 2 ex-Cats eager to coach

Former Kentucky quarterback Andre Woodson admits it hasn't been easy accepting that his football playing days are over.

But coaching is something Woodson believes can help him cope.

Woodson and ex-UK receiver Glenn Holt have joined Joker Phillips' staff as student assistants. Both have enrolled at UK for the spring semester. Woodson said he's about two semesters away from a degree in kinesiology, and Holt expects to get his sociology degree in December.

Woodson's story has been well-chronicled. After an outstanding career at UK, a rough week at the Senior Bowl contributed to his falling to a sixth-round pick of the New York Giants.

The Giants already had a roster stacked with quarterbacks, and Woodson stayed on the practice squad for a year before being cut. He then had a short stint on the Washington Redskins practice squad before being cut, and then after a UFL audition didn't work out, Woodson knew he had reached the end of the road.
