Say what you want about his play but have to give him credit for his toughness. Hit vs Miss State, massive hit by Braswell from Bama, and the unnecessary roughness play last night.

Showing a lot of guts.

I know we beat Florida but they also beat UT and SC in addition to Vandy. That's 3 wins in the east
We beat Vandy and Florida in the east
SC beat us, Miss St and Vandy. They got the tie breaker by beating us

So that leaves us in 6th place in the east?? Is that right?

We are back to where we started under Stoops
And next season will be worse. Will be lucky to get bowl eligible

They were in danger of their first losing season since 1997 and they fired their head coach last Sunday. They were 5-5 at that point and the coach was 22-14, overall. They have high expectations and were not afraid to make a move. Beat the shit out of Utah St yesterday to get to a bowl. Says a lot about the AD and their vision. Does Mitch even watch our games? Stoops needs to resign today.

Has resigned yet

We are a a BASKETBALL SCHOOL….
Got in trouble with the old man

Football took it to heart with shit play for 2 yrs!!!

We are a BASKETBALL SCHOOL!!!

.

Who you got?

If MB can't negotiate something with Stoops in the next 2-3 weeks, he needs to go. This program is teetering on an epic failure run going into an expanded SEC schedule. Stoops has lost this team and majority of the fan base. Exits to the portal is going to be something.

Who should UK look at and who can they realistically get?

don't attend the Louisville game & don't buy bowl tickets.
This will send a powerful message.

The Louisville game will be another CF & the agony of being
among their pathetic fans would be to much.

Bowl game of course is still undecided but we will be a 7 pick
out of the SEC, behind Bama, Georgia, LSU, Tennessee, Mizzo & Ole Miss.
Then you have some very other good teams across the country so I
see us landing in a very bad bowl game who nobody cares about.

Costs a lot of money to attend a bowl game & IMO your money could be better spent.

Send a message & BOYCOT.

Defense had a pretty good game.

Offensive numbers, down.

No matter how well Reed plays we know Cal will ride AND die with Wagner no matter the cost.

And stays 3 years. He will go down as an all time top 5 player. He has the genetics and a passion unmatched. This dude gets it. He will be good in the nba eventually but has greatness in the college game written all over him.

Of hearing how good the offense is looking & having production ready to push for the East & the Dawgs.. Talk of competing for Atlanta..

My question is, where do you began to repair that disconnect that has not come to fruition or anywhere close?

What is the next step & move? Of course Beating Loserville would be a great start.. If not, where do you began as a coaching staff to bring positive momentum back to the program & the BBN?

Depending the outcome for the Governor’s Cup, would a competitive performance have you excited for a bowl game? Maybe we have a inspiring “backs against the wall“ performance

Not bashing Stoops or the coaching staff, but something has to give.. I have no clue besides ride it out & it is proven on the field. The proof is in the pudding type scenario you could say..

Winning next weekend would do wonders, if not, not many alternatives left but to buckle up & ride it out!

Matt going in on this team, and Stoops.

The pony up comment.

This teams demeanor on the field when getting beat.

We have grown arrogant.

In 2024, we play the following schedule, minus the "cupcakes":
Florida - away
Auburn - home
Georgia - Home
Ole Miss- away
Tennessee - away
Texas - away
With the current state of our team, where are the wins coming from next season? Florida and Auburn will be improved, the other 4 will be juggernauts. I`m afraid we`ll see 20+ hitting the portal, so we`ll have new players adjusting to our system or we`ll have new position coaches teaching everyone new techniques. Even if we do win out on the rest of our schedule, that`s 6-6 once again and 3 years in a row with 6 loses. Louisville and South Carolina at home wont be easy either.

I get that it seems like we force the ball to BB and others at times. But, don't pretty much all passing plays have multiple options? Is it really Coen who is telling Leary to throw the bombs to BB or is Leary misreading the play? Sure, we seem to call a lot of plays with BB as first option. But, if he's not open, shouldn't Leary be coached to find the guy who is open?

The bomb on 3rd and 4 late in the game had no chance. But, if you saw the replay, Key was open in the middle of the field with no one within 2-3 yards of him for an easy first down. Is Leary being told to throw to BB regardless? If so, that's totally on Coen. Is Leary not reading the play/coverage correctly and throwing to the wrong guy? If so, that's on Leary and Coen for not coaching him up.

One consistent failure I've seen in the passing game this season has been the inability or unwillingness to TAKE WHAT THE DEFENSE IS GIVING! We force the ball downfield and ignore the flat and middle of the field where we could pick up a handful of yards. Our opponents have certainly had a lot of success throwing 5 yards passes to the flat and steadily moving the ball. But we throw an inordinate number of long passes that are unnecessary and unsuccessful.

Is that the QB (who perhaps isn't being coached well) or is it the OC telling the QB who to throw to?

Anyone here a F1 fan? Race is about to start up in Austin to begin the American stretch of races. Red Bull and Verstappen have been unstoppable. No one even comes close. Only lost one race in Singapore.

Need a win tonight to go into the UofL game on good mo.

GO CATS!

Ok.and Tx are getting ready to join the SEC and the SEC will expand to 9 conference games.Louisville is going to stay on the schedule.That gives Kentucky two patsies on the schedule.No more Vandy and Mississippi St. every year.At the very best Kentucky football is going to be a 4 win team from now until the return of Jesus.

As for you big Blue fans that have switched into basketball mode I wouldn’t be getting to giddy either because that coach is also making 9 million and as far as I’m concerned he’s worse than the football coach.He hasn’t done anything in years with his words not mine The Gold Star Program.The AD just gave the baseball coach a raise and extension for what his second NCAA appearance in 7 years and the first one was with someone else’s players.So let me give you some friendly advice.Take off your blue glasses and you’ll see the athletic programs at Kentucky are in shambles.Go hunting or fishing or watch a good movie then you won’t need that high blood pressure medicine 😂😂😂😂

Here's a school with lower expectations that would probably like a coach like Stoops. He could play in a watered down conference with less stress. Let's hope Jimmy Sexton is on the phone this morning. Fingers crossed.

In my opinion, Brooks would coach rings around Mark Stoops. I would have liked to see what Brooks could have done with the resources Stoops has had at his disposal.

I know, last one this year but trying to stay somewhat positive…thoughts?

I've seen a lot of talk on twitter and on here about getting back to who we were. Who we were isn't close to good enough in our new reality. No free UL win this year or beyond. No more free Vandy wins every year starting next year. No more 3 cupcakes the year after next. A 9 game SEC schedule is coming, Oklahoma or Texas every year is coming. Starting in 2025 we'll get 2 freebies a year. We'll have to win 4 against 9 SEC teams and UL going forward just to get to 6. No one should be happy getting to 6 in our good years. The landscape has drastically changed while we stayed the same or regressed.

What we needed these last 5/6 years was growth, we had a real chance for the first time in my life to change our standing in the SEC and we blew it. The conference will likely never be as weak as it's been the last 5 years. The top teams have been great but the middle and bottom have never been softer. We needed someone with vision and an aggressive plan to change our future but we had Mark Stoops.
