Curt Cignetti V Jon Sumrall v Someone else

I think that just goes back to the fact it’s a total crap shoot. Sone guys succeed, some don’t. If UK was to make a coaching change in the next couple of years and they don’t go for a proven P4 winner, then Sumrall is near or at the top of the list of P4 coordinators and G5 coaches.

I know, thats been my reluctance to replacing Stoops.

It was mine until this year. I just feel like it’s time for something new. At this point, he’s not any better than Brooks. I don’t have wild expectations, but I do expect to put a team in the field that doesn’t lose the games we’ve been losing and doesn’t have the most vanilla offense.

At this point I’m fine with doing a fan poll of A&M fans and let them pick. They did a good job picking their coach last year

Just nobody from the Stoops coaching staff. I want a clean slate whenever the time comes. No ties to the previous coaching staff to linger over to the next era.

Kentucky is not going after Cignetti. He will likely be at Indiana one more year and if he has another big year of success will get poached by a big time school, on a higher level then Kentucky. Also cignetti is 62 years old, which I was surprised to find out.

Can I vote for bozo the clown? He would be an upgrade.

Sounds like something my dad would say 😂

Give Sumrall a shot. A young and hungry alumni who would never leave us. Cignetti is doing wonders at a school like Indiana, but would rather take Sumrall who would be here a lot longer.

I don’t understand the thought that a Cignetti wouldn’t come to Kentucky. We are paying Stoops the ninth highest salary in the country. That is enough money to pull Cignetti from Indiana.

He'll get comparable salaried offers from bluebloods.

Can't fault Kentucky if they were to go after Jon Sumrall when he is widely viewed as one of the top up and coming coaches in College Football. It is the smart thing to do. Young enough that if he succeeds, could be here 15-20 years and bring some stability to the Kentucky Football program after the Stoops Era. Sumrall coming back to UK is my preference. If not, find the next Cignetti waiting for his opportunity at a bigger program.
