Anyone other than Stoops.Who ya got?
I don’t know enough about Cignetti yet to make that call, but I feel like the fans consensus at the moment is for John Sumrall. Almost to the point he’s the assumed replacement. And I feel like Mitch would pull another Mark Pope type decision and pretty much make him say no first.
I agree he won’t go outside sumrall or, as some have reported, that he likes Brad white. It would be just like him to pick white over sumrall because of some personality preference or whatever instead of valuing that sumrall now has a head coaching record to show everyone.Why would that guy leave Indiana for a much tougher job where he won't win anything?
Sumrall is obvious choice. Another home grown barnie keep it n the UK family type hire. Everyone will give a lot of honeymoon period graces, just like they will with Pope.
Win win for barnie because even if they don't win right away fans will give them a pass IMO.
Lincoln Riley will be looking for a job soon.
MB is loyal to a fault. Brad White will be rewarded with the first opportunity as HC if MB is making the next hire.I don’t know enough about Cignetti yet to make that call, but I feel like the fans consensus at the moment is for John Sumrall.

I'm not sure, but I doubt it.Would Vince work for White?
Sumrall with Lincoln as OC😊💙🏈Lincoln Riley will be looking for a job soon.
Most fans just want to win and don't even know who john sumrall is. He is the choice of the ride or die Barny/stoops supporters that have finally given up realizing the current situation is untenable. I am not against sumrall but you go for the best available that have proven it at the highest level first not someone just because there are an alumni or played here.I don’t know enough about Cignetti yet to make that call, but I feel like the fans consensus at the moment is for John Sumrall.

White's defense was not impressive last night.I would say as lazy as Mitch is he will promote White. White will do all he can to keep Vince. He will try to keep some of the defense coaches but will have some offense turnover. Mitch will not work hard to find the most qualified.
Had the same thoughts.... Barney had someone he was dead set on and never truly... only in a token fashion... pursued anyone else. IMO... if and when the Stoops tenure ends, they won't even truly go after anyone but Sumrall, maybe that will be good but I think it should be a full business decision, not based on emotion of hiring one of our boys.Which is what we did n basketball too.
Jon Sumrall, spell his name right.Most fans just want to win and don't even know who john sumrall is.

I’ll never get the fascination by some with Kingsbury. He was the worst coach TTU had since the mid 80’s. He was 35-40/19-35 at TTU. He never even finished .500 in conference any of the years he was there. He’s only had a winning record in 3 of his 10 seasons as a HC.Kliff Kingsbury. Head Coaching experience on two levels and now OC for high powered offense. Offer him 6-8 million
He left Oklahoma to avoid playing in the SEC. No thank youLincoln Riley will be looking for a job soon.
Yep!Kliff Kingsbury. Head Coaching experience on two levels and now OC for high powered offense. Offer him 6-8 million
There is a difference in hiring someone just because they are are an alumni and played here and someone who is one of the top G4 coaches in college football. Dude is 28-6/20-2 as a HC. He will be on a lot of P4 radars, not just UK.Most fans just want to win and don't even know who john sumrall is.

Don't say that remember John Ray, Bill Curry and Joker to name a fewAnyone other than Stoops.
This. Pope was the best choice after we were told no by Drew and Hurley, assuming it’s true that the UK Pres blacklisted Pearl, Oats, Wade, Samson, anyone with an NCAA blemish (even if it’s legal in todays climate) or big personality. The only other option was waiting for Billy D to finish the NBA season and hope he didn’t leave you hanging a 3rd time and then we are stuck hiring a legit nobody.Pope wasn't the first choice for basketball. We made two national title winning coaches say no first.
I think Sumrall will be the first and only offer for football.
As mentioned above, Cignetti's 64...he's going nowhere. He'll retire at IU.Lol...do you all just think flavors or the month or ppl having success would be interested in UK.
Cignetti move from IU to UK is barely a step up. There's 2 conferences that matter, he's in one, and if he succeeds there his next move would be a school like florida, for example
I’m well aware of that, but Mitch knew Hurley was going to say no and Drew was a close friend so he was obligated to try because the fans demanded it, at least with Hurley. but prying someone away from a place they’ve been for a very long time is difficult as it was with Drew. Pope was his fallback but he didn’t hesitate after asking Drew and Hurley. Feel like tge fans are pretty much demanding Sumrall at this point.Pope wasn't the first choice for basketball.

I like the Chadwell guy who was at Coastal Carolina and is now doing very well at LibertyWho ya got?
