Debbie Stein said the last couple of days have been an “absolute whirlwind.”

Will Stein grew up in Louisville, and went to Trinity and UofL. But his mom says he’s always been a UK fan.

Debbie went there and Will’s father, Matt, played football there.

“But we had season tickets to the basketball games and football games and we just loved every second of it. And we were just huge fans,” she said.

We asked what Will, as a kid, would think of what’s happening now?

“He would just have a big grin on his face and again, just, I think he knew it was going to happen. I really do. He was that confident as a child. And he always believed in himself,” she said.

We asked her if she felt Will was ready for this big next step, leaving Oregon as an offensive coordinator to his first big head coaching job.

“I just know from the bottom of my heart he’s ready,” she said.

And a fun sidenote, Will helped name the business.

“We’ve always baked our own cakes and desserts and when the kids were little… So Debbie’s boys were born, and I felt like I had boys before I ever had my own kids, and I’m pretty sure it was William. When he was little, we would call each other sis, and we were baking her birthday cakes, and he said, ‘Oh, I want a sissy cake.’ And we’re like, well, isn’t that adorable? Like, yay, we should have a store some day,” Martin said.
