Are you ready to move on from Stoops yet?

[AE82]

I think he has done some positive things here, and I am honestly not just crapping on him, but he just isn't cutting it in big games and disappoints more often than not. While the OC is awful, he is also our 5th OC in 10 seasons and all but 1 of them sucked, too. At a certain point, it's not the OC but the HC who is the problem. Our D obviously isn't that good either and that is supposed to be Stoops strength.

While he has been an improvement over Joker, we also went to a bowl game just 1 season before we fired Joker and hired Stoops. And it took Stoops 5 years to get us back there.

 

[know1]

Idiotic.

 

[Dddjdd]

Hell no

 

[UKWildcats1987]

Of course not. Who are we gonna get that can do better? Is urban meyer gonna come coach here?

 

[R.O.T.Muckinfush]

Since 2015, it shouldn't take ten years of scheduling Mac opponents to build your program to mediocrity.

 

[Hoskins91]

I think we’ve plateaued, but who are you gonna replace him with?

 

[AE82]

Of course not. Who are we gonna get that can do better? Is urban meyer gonna come coach here?

How did TN do it?

 

[Ugoff]

Who are you?

 

[cats2010]

Yes, he keeps us competitive overall, but his conservative gameplans will never let us compete with the big boys. Two weeks to prepare for UT and has failed miserably. I’d fire his ass at halftime.

 

[Blue63Madison]

Very disappointed in his coaching this season, but no way in hell do I want him gone.

 

[Dddjdd]

I already answered and this is a stupid thread, but I do think fans should not expect the program to take more huge leaps. It’s year 10, 99% of the improvement coaches bring happens before year 10. Some around here talk as if years 11-15 will show as much change as years 1-5. At this point we kind of know where we are with Stoops and all things considered you’ve gotta be happy with him.

 

[Blue63Madison]

How did TN do it?

They struck gold with Hendon Hooker. Nobody — not even Vol fans — saw this coming. He wasn’t even the starter when the 2021 season began.

 

[UKWildcats1987]

How did TN do it?

It took like 4 tries after Fulmer and 15 years. Bad example.

 

[phunterd]

This is the correct answer and take. Team has just been off this year.

Who replaces him, for this to be a possibility their has to be a better replacement

 

[AE82]

The whole "who else can we get" "well, it's better than it was" "it is was it is" approach many of you convey is the very reason UK is and always will be a basketball school. And I hope none of you were among those upset when Cal made that statement this summer, as you're confirming it's truth with those statements.

 

[wildcatglenn]

Scran......yes. I've seen enough of his play calling. It sucks, and that's being nice about it

 

[SaltyCat22]

Hugh Freeze with Petrino as OC. No I’m not joking!

Thanks newb.

 

[Jont0805]

How did TN do it?

How come Tennessee has never been to a final four in basketball? It is crazy to think we are on their level or ever will be. Just like they will never be close to what Kentucky is in basketball.

 

[rolaid]

I say yes because he Coaches scared - he is a negative thinking Coach
Don’t blitz could get burned
Don’t throw slant or across middle could get picked
Don’t rush Punter could rough them
He just Coaches scared

 

[Jont0805]

They struck gold with Hendon Hooker. Nobody — not even Vol fans — saw this coming. He wasn’t even the starter when the 2021 season began.

This is the one. They were like 1-3 and ready to move on, with him in the line up don’t think they have lost but once maybe twice.

Have no idea how he wasn’t given the team at Virginia tech or in game one at Tennessee.

 

[permdaddy]

I'm pretty sure we have peaked with Stoops. I am 100% sure we can do a hell of a lot worse without him. I'll keep him while maintaining hope for 1 magical season.

 

[BlueTick2]

Maybe we can get Saterfield...

As I said go sign urban meyer. Sign me up. Uk is never gonna do that though and nothing I can do about it.

You mean like Levis?

It took like 4 tries after Fulmer and 15 years. Bad example.

Right, but they kept at it until they got it right! That's literally my point. They didn't just settle and say, "well, it is what it is".

 

[Fast3ddy]

I see the morons are coming outta their mom’s basement now.

 

[Cefiro]

He’s hit his ceiling at UK feasting on a west SEC East. Other programs are on the rise and we’re still the same.

 

[DraftCat]

NIL caught the other SEC teams up from what Stoops was able to build.

Levis is overrated and we are still probably gonna end up 8 and 4.

You’re acting like UK football sucks. It doesn’t. It’s the best it’s been since the bear. UT football sucked so they kept trying. We shouldn’t hang on to Stoops because we may not be able to do better, we should hang on to him because he has done an outstanding job and we have a program that’s better than it’s ever been.

Why? Truth hard for you to accept or something?

Levis is overrated and we are still probably gonna end up 8 and 4.

I mean, we can go with that approach, but it seems odd he is viewed so highly, even more so than Hooker, yet, he is the problem. Maybe it's Stoops who is a little overrated.

Good Lord! This is the epitome of why UK will never be a contender in football.

 

[trueblujr2]

Of course not. Who are we gonna get that can do better? Is urban meyer gonna come coach here?

Why would you want Meyer? He’d be here two to three years before his personal issues resurface. Realistically there’s nobody off hand that would do better. Stoops isn’t getting fired. He’ll have to leave on his own. If he does I’d call his brother Bob first and see if he’d have any interest at all in replacing his brother.

I was responding to your reference to Hooker. Plenty of blame to go around, but let’s not act like this is the most talented team we’ve had since Stoops has been here. Probably a few spots down the rankings honestly.

Mustve not been a fan longer than 10 years

You are the epitome of why we haven’t succeeded until now. UK spent the 50 years prior to hiring Stoops doing exactly what you propose And it led to us being one of the worst programs in the SEC. You have no clue what you are talking about..

 

[R.O.T.Muckinfush]

Hire Tennessee's offensive coordinator as head coach. Simple as that.

 

[CalstroopsWifesBF]

Idiotic.

Why? Please do tell.
10 years. Not even an East title. Go on let’s here it

 

[8titles]

If you want to move away from stoops you have to be the dumbest uk fan in history. He has taken us to games we haven’t played on back to back in history. Do I want more? Yes. But we are going to have to pay many dues to get there. If you watched the curry years or the joker years or many other years along the way you would know better. So shut the hell up and enjoy the wins as much as you bitch about the losses.
