Did I say that? You’re gonna have to find where I said that. Don’t waste your time though because I never said that.

Tradition for them was nice. If they are not winning they are not relevant. At this moment we are in better shape.
Stoops was fine until Barney loaded him with another ridiculous contract. I don’t know the answer when the a AD gives out so much guaranteed money there is no incentive to win. To be successful at UK you have to be hungry. Complacency buries you. Instead stoops seems ok with competing and the loses he will blame on fans and NIL. The question shouldn’t be who replaces stoops it should be how do you fix this problem with overpaid coaches. That answer is simple.
Look UK football should let a guy like stoops go at his peak if he wants to get paid UNLESS you have a guy who gets you to some ny6 games quickly and a conference title. That’s when you invest. Not a gator bowl ceiling. Instead of spending tons of money keeping him probably he should have left already for a bigger job if it was about the $$$$$. UK shouldn’t be the program giving him top 10 money.
Stoops is a very average coach at best easy nonconference team and a few weak SEC schools are the only teams we beat, we cannot even win at home, Stoops is way overpaid and overrated but we have an AD that falls in love with the FB and BB coaches and they are here for life.
Your entire argument consists of "Kentucky's football program suxorz so we can't ever win." Congats.
Chadwell has been successful at Coastal and now at Liberty. He has been able to get his teams ready for big games. Not many questions about him other than his NCAA baggage and can he get his teams up every week because every SEC game is a big game.
But look back at the number of coaches in just the East since CMS was hired.
Vandy 3
Missouri 3
UF 4
Carolina 3
UT 3
UGA 2
The grass isn't always greener, or bluer on the otherside of the fence.
Yeah that's not true and I never said that. My entire argument is that firing the coach is stupid. Nice try though
no, but our "grass" has problems, and after 11 seasons we haven't found a great lawn care team....
I remember GA going thru a few lawn care companies before finding Kirby....
Why shouldn't we expect a blue lawn when we pay a premium for the service?
Also, all of those teams you listed are trending up except for maybe Vandy and Carolina....
I understand his baggage. Cal had plenty more. If we just accept it, because some tell us it can’t be better all I will say is… Aim low you will hit it every time.
Stoops talks constantly how “hard” winning in the SEC is. We ALL know that, but him verbalizing that consistently tells me alot about his leadership. I appreciate what he has done, but these bye week loses, unprepared teams, sluggish offenses, and let downs on big games needs to stop.
The point I think most miss is that we are not expecting to be GA/AL/LSU. But we can be solid and tier 2. Right now we are not !
Right now I put UK where tou want to be. You 3 losses are to UGA who is on a dream run right now, UT who is right ther with UK and Missouri wh is having a dream season. Staying there is harder than getting there because everyone wants your spot. But Stoops plays above talent level every year. I know most here won't agree with this but talent wise UK is about 10th, but are top 6-7 program. If CMS and UK want to win big, reach the playoffs, then stop depending on kids from ohio who OSU or Mich don't want. Go after the kids they want, if you are beating teams in living rooms you aren't beating them in stadiums.
Not crying about his money. Crying about results and coaching! Take out GA/Bama. Get me to the level below that consistently beating those teams.
Respectfully this is not where I want to be. I certainly hope the coaches are not where they want to be, but I’m beginning to think they are getting complacent.
This is like me telling you GA basketball is right where you want to be. It’s easy to be a gracious winner, we are obviously 0 threat to GA football on or off the field. Must be a blast to be a Dawg fan right now. I’m certainly jealous.
Got you good, right? Next time don't respond to my posts if you aren't smart enough to understand them.
This is 💯 on, get the hell out of Ohio and the rest of the Midwest and recruit the southeast hard
You can’t sling a dead cat in here without hitting someone crying about his money. I cry over the losses too. But stoops has brought us two 10 win seasons in the last 5 years, we have beaten Florida like 3 out of the last 4 or 5 years, we own Louisville, and the culture has shifted. This will take time. We got here by being patient and having perspective. Don’t tuck tail now. This will be a slooooow rebuild. Actually it’s not a rebuild. It’s a startup really. These are the golden ages of Kentucky football. People don’t grasp just how BAD of a program this has always been
Hard to argue with that, over the last 10 years especially. But historically Arkansas and Texas A&M are pretty similar programs. I’d definitely say both are below Florida and Auburn though.
Tennessee kept searching and found a guy that is 3-0 against us. Two of those wins where at our house.
Exactly! Florida will do the same! And here we are stuck in this rut cheering cause we’re the third worst team in the conference instead of the first.
In fairness to brooks he didn’t stay at either school after he built it to stability. So he didn’t see the fruits on the record ledger. Left for the nfl at Oregon and retired from uk. I have also pointed out somewhere before that in the seasons where stoops has gone to a bowl the East win % is just above 55% and before he came in it was near 70
Stoops has taken this program as far as HE can. I hope someone offers him a job and he takes it. But he won’t find a school that will pay him more than he’s making here.
