Bump this until Stoops is gone!!!

I have just received word that Barnhart has been closely monitoring this thread, looking for a little help in making administrative decisions. Even though everyone on this thread hates him irrationally, he saw the merits of this very inspiring thread, which is clearly populated by very rational and loyal fans, and decided that he was personally going to start stripping in order to collect enough money to pay out an astronomical buy out to fire the most successful football coach the school has seen in half a century in order to placate the wonderful fans who clearly see that Kentucky has no excuse not to be above Alabama, Georgia, Oklahoma, LSU, Texas, Florida, Tennessee, Auburn etc in the pecking order on a regular basis (aside from resources, fan support, history and brand power). Despite being the only coach who has brought the school to eight consecutive bowl games, we know Stoops is definitely inferior to Sumrall, so Barny will be hiring him and offering him up to this happy mob of pitchfork waving misfits to be the town sacrifice. We will burn him at the stake immediately after he doesn’t make a bowl game one time, since the college football playoff is the floor for our program, based on fan emotion, which is the most important factor in projecting success. Thank you, Barnhart…whoops forgot, the correct thing is to say “Fire Mitch”, amirite. Bump for our merry little echo chamber!!! 🤡

Not reading that. Paragraphs are your friend.
As you watch all of these bowl games , every team looks better coached and way more disciplined than we are. Unreal. Still time for Stoops to leave.
If you continue to accept mediocrity, then you'll continue to wallow in mediocrity. The University and we the Fanbase have to demand better.....do you think Indiana has a glorious football history?? No, but the sure as hades made the CFP.....whether they truly deserved to be in it (I don't think they did), doesn't matter as they did make it. And the truly sad thing is they would've kicked our ass in a game with our $9 million coach standing on the sidelines with his deer in the headlights stare.
As long as we as fans don't demand better, then we won't get better. If a 1980s playing style dinosaur like Stoops can get us to a couple of 9-10 win seasons, then you have to believe a better HC that's willing to go with an offensive style of football that can consistently win games and with the talent we've had the past couple of years, could realistically get us to 10-11 regular season wins here and there and consistently win 8-10 games per season.
The foundation is there, I'll give Stoops credit for that, but he's reached his ceiling and he is truly undisciplined and his teams mimicking their HC. They've been some of the most undisciplined teams I've ever seen and that falls on the HC. I can promise you if UK hired a top 15 HC, they could exceed what Stoops has done. Winning is contagious and an exciting, winning style of play will attract better players, also that kind of winning energizes the fanbase who might just contribute more to NIL cooperatives in order to get and keep better Frontline players. The truth of the matter is that the UK athletic administration and president are more than satisfied with 6 wins and the toilet bowl, they are very ok with mediocrity, any other school in the SEC aside from Vandy after the dismal past three seasons would've fired Stoops after this past season, especially when if they are paying Top 10 salary to the HC, you darn better expect more when paying a HC championship level pay for mediocrity and even worse. Excitement and expectations for this program are very low, Stoops lost the team and he's lost much of the fanbase. I talk to very few UK fans anymore that want Stoops here and are excited about where the program is. Vandy has a better coach than we do as do USCe and Mizzou. It's truly sad.....the linger Stoops stays, the further down the program slides. He's almost at Joker status as far as fan apathy goes.
Indiana was a lightning in a bottle situation. As for us, mediocrity is better than we have been within the last half century. I recognize most people on this thread are going to be so bloodthirsty in their desire to move on that there isn’t a hope of convincing otherwise, but I at least hope that one or more of my posts might convince someone on the fence to reconsider our assault on the coaching staff. I understand wanting to be one of the best teams —- I want that too, but we are not Indiana —- we happen to exist within the most brutal conference that is only getting stronger. Stoops has been the correct guy to have us become mediocre and I don’t want to lose the mediocrity.
Watching bowl games and UK isn't in one. Most of these teams no more talented than the cats but more well coached!
