I just saw that UNC fired Mack Brown today. I don’t like that at all. Gotta think Sumrall will be at the top of their list and UNC would be a good fit for him. It wasn’t looking like any SEC jobs will be opening up this off season but not one of the better ACC jobs is open. UK needs to figure it out asap with Stoops or we likely will miss out on Sumrall!

Sumrall blowing his chance at the UK job.

Memphis up 7-0

Guessing the stadium is about 60-70% full. Not surprising given the trajectory of the season and the cold weather…..

Let’s Go Cats!!

KENTUCKY HC MARK STOOPS Q&A:

* Disappointing end to a disappointing season. Give credit to Louisville. They came in very motivated. Jeff Brohm and his staff kept us off-balance.

* With all the turnovers we had, we never gave ourselves a good shot. Took the hope away when we got the score to cut it to 20-7, then had another turnover.

* We've been on the right side of this one for many years, and it's not very much fun to be on the wrong side of it.

* We have to get back to being tough and disciplined and fundamental. I accept responsibility for that not being the case this season.

* A lot of moving pieces in the weeks to come, and I'm motivated to get this fixed. Resources are in place to get it fixed and build a very good football team.

* On Eli Cox speaking to the media earlier this week and saying the culture isn't right, how do you tell the fans you can get this fixed.... Stoops says turnover is real in the current landscape of CFB. Not everybody has massive turnover, but some do. It might be the new normal to turnover 35-40 spots on the roster.

* On his team beating itself the last 2-3 years... No easy way around that question, we haven't found a way to avoid it. Every level of the team needs to be better.

* Asked what the pitch is to guys who want to stay... We'll cross that bridge when we get to it, but I told the guys if they want to be back, they have to get to work and get back to who we are. If you don't want that, don't come back.

* On BVG... Not for me to talk about that. I'll let him decide if he wants to say.

* On his message to frustrated fans today... I understand. We're not happy, either. I can promise you that we'll get back to work, we'll get it fixed. The misery index goes around for everyone. I have to get excited about getting back to work on the rebuild. I can promise them we'll get back to be a team that they're proud of.

* On chances there are staff changes... Some could happen organically, but we really need cohesion. Offensively, it's important to have the continuity in place and get better. Says he watched how much GaTech improved from last year to this year watching them last night against Georgia. Hoping they can do the same here.

Stoops.

Name another college coach who did a worse job, whose team underachieved more, whose players quit more even in last game against arch rival, who lost their team more this season? Coaches bickering, no discipline.

If 10% of coaches should be fired each season, is there a guy you’d put ahead of Stoops? Who did worse this year?

Mark, you’re a joke and it’s disgraceful that you won’t resign.

when opponents with less money than we have are killing us and winning more games, ALL have put this program where we are right now!!!

$44 million reasons why we are stuck with him, but how in the world did he ALLOW this program to get here while being from a family that KNOWS what winning football requires????!!!!! And it ain’t what is going on here in HIS OWN program now???!!!!!

Where is his competitiveness???!!!!
Where is his pride??!!!
Where is his obligation to the school paying him a top 10 salary??!!!

SAD

Just trying to get a good idea on where the pulse is as a fanbase. We’re all pissed, but who all is putting their money where their mouth is?

In case anyone wasn’t listening to Matt Jones this AM, he said that as of a week or so ago, folks at UK were assuming Stoops likely would NOT be back. Something happened during the bye week and everyone is now convinced he’s coming back.

Why did we go to Wimsatt? Weak if he’s basically quit on the team. I know his dad is on here sometimes and I don’t really care if he sees this or not. Poor form

I’m no financial guru but this seems a bit much to me.

Stoops laughing all the way to the bank. Disgusting.

We will know exactly what this team has and does not have. A hostile road game at Clemson followed up by a dance with the Zags. It's either gonna shut some of these trolls up or depress an otherwise elated fan base. Gonna be a Malox Masher for sure.

Interviews, KSR, etc. Couldn’t listen today, interested if anyone said anything interesting about where the program is headed/potential changes.

I’m not very smart but that seems like a lot of pay for the output.

Ok… so the OC isn’t going anywhere unless he leaves. Stoops wants to keep the offense together. Stoops also spoke highly of Brad white as being loyal, but did mention that he (stoops) basically runs the defense. We’re already aware of the OL, but that isn’t anything new to us.

If he’s going to change everything and really get to work… but he isn’t touching the offensive side… wtf change is coming?

How many season tickets were sold the the first and last year Joker was head coach? How many season tickets were sold the first year Stoops was head coach? How many season tickets were sold this year? I realize the stadium reduced capacity since Stoops became head coach.

Go Big Blue!

There is no motivation for coaches (not just Stoops). They get paid millions and millions regardless of wins and losses. Now players are getting money, regardless of performance.

Did Dane play today?

At 5-7 the last several seasons teams have made bowl games. A win tomorrow and our resume being in the SEC and playing some top flight competition close do we get the nod for one of these hard to fill bowls? Especially with an expanded SEC now?

How can they afford not to? He can't fix the mess he created.

I need an HOB attorney to break this down for me in normal language please...

Looks like he's in Kentucky. EDIT: Looks like that's not Audubon Park in Louisville

Don't bother contacting me in March or April. Not interested next year. The only momentum i see is downward with Stoops. Will it take a Joker-Vandy no-show for you to understand?
