Key Points

  • Kuehn had a 40-31 record during six seasons as head coach at Bullitt Central but was fired after the 2021 season due to "differences in a shared vision and program philosophy."
  • After his firing, Kuehn became a teacher at Ballard and joined Morton’s coaching staff on the defensive side.
  • Kuehn, 43, plans to be more involved with the offense as head coach and likely will serve as offensive coordinator.
  • Ballard expects to return sophomore quarterback Larry Irvin and junior wide receiver Maurice Stephens from a 10-4 squad that reached the Class 6A state semifinals.
  • Kuehn aims to bring a more aggressive mentality to the offensive side and improve getting the ball to playmakers in space, focusing on running downhill more effectively.
