Kentucky football general manager Pat Biondo steps down after 7 months with the Wildcats

LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) — Kentucky general manager Pat Biondo announced Tuesday he is leaving the Wildcats' football program after only seven months on a job he took when following new coach Will Stein from Oregon. “This is a personal move and I hope everyone will respect the private nature of such a tough decision,” Biondo said in a statement. He thanked Kentucky and Stein for the opportunity. Kentucky athletics issued a statement saying that Biondo informed officials of his decision to step down. “We respect his choice and the personal considerations behind it,” Kentucky athletics said. “We are grateful for his contributions to our program.” Stein said last December he was thrilled to welcome Biondo as the general manager, citing his work ethic and ability to bring the best out of people around him.
