“(‘Mark Stoops’) belief in a pro-style system felt like the right opportunity for me and at the right time. I’ve watched UK play on film and I really like the quarterback Will Levis……… I think we will continue doing great things and I’m ready to get started.”

Scangarello is missing out on these opportunities

Scangarello returned to the Niners for the 2021 NFL season but has now signed with the Kentucky Wildcats as an offensive coordinator. As a result, he has given up the chance to work with the quarterbacks, Trey Lance and Jimmy Garoppolo.
Furthermore, it is a little stretch, but there is a possibility that Tom Brady will come out of retirement and join the Niners. The Niners have expressed interest in acquiring Brady if he ever wants to put to action his claim of ‘never say never.’ Therefore, one could say Scangarello could also renounce the possibility of working with the seven-time Super Bowl winner.

It is unknown whether the thought of missing out on these opportunities bothers Scangarello or not. Regardless, one thing is sure, the experience he will bring to the Wildcats team will certainly be beneficial.
