Don’t forget that we are going to always lose the field position battle with our punterThere is no excuse for us being unprepared on all sides of the ball.
Why do we suck today?
- OL is bad, can't get BV going.
- Play calling is bad/predictable AGAIN
- Terrible D penalties
- Lack of Discipline on both sides of the ball
That’s what it will take. He’s the school’s all-time winningest coach. Mitch Barnhart isn’t firing him for one losing season.
What is Drink and Leopold doing at Kansas and Missouri?
Yep. I mean again, not a Stoops fan boy but I just don't get what people think is going to happen. The fact we have two 10 win seasons in the past how ever many years is insane at UK...nutso.
Bear and Fran only others....haha, that was a lifetime ago, literally.
Lol. That’s what we’ve been doing for 60 years. Football is the cash cow. We need to back football first. You fund a solid football program. And you rake in the dough.This school needs to pour as much money as it can into basketball and backing Pope.

I'd take Sumrall firstWe have two coaches. One at Tulane and one at WV that would walk to Lexington and would put on a more disciplined product.
You can tell yourself that.
Here is a fact. Stoops has seven 7+ win seasons at UK in 11 seasons.
It took UK 29 seasons to get seven 7+ win seasons before he got here.
The SEC is only getting more competitive.
Again, I'm fine with a change I just doubt anyone will be any better. Change to whoever, all good with me.
I'm more of a realist than anyone who thinks we are ever competing for SEC titles, etc. It isn't happening...
UT was awful for 15 years. They hired a guy who runs a revolutionary offense. And they’re now a top 15 program in America. This defeatist “it’s basketball time now” attitude is why this program has sucked since Bryant left.Just because we sucked for a 100 years doesn’t mean 7 and 8 win seasons are good. Guy has never even sniffed a sec title. And he makes more in a year than pretty much all the other coaches did in their career.
You wanna praise him? Sure, go ahead. He was okay here and had a couple really good seasons that didn’t win anything.
But it’s time to move on. Best thing that could have happened is him sitting in college station right now.
Lol, yeah they are. Their NIL situation is way better.

I implore you to review the two 10 win seasons and compare them to where we are now. In 2021 we beat an overrated UF team and Iowa (our only two ranked wins). In 2018 we beat (you guessed it) an overrated UF team and PSU for our only two ranked wins.
Meanwhile, we have had three consecutive losses to USC, blown out regularly by UT and UGA and look horrendous even when we win (penalties/players behavior, etc).
I don't like Stoops' culture, game plan as a head coach nor his decision making in game.
If he's fired tomorrow, does a top 50 program hire him?
The one thing that we can't change is that we live in a relatively poor state with fewer ultra-rich donors than many of our competitors.You completely refuted your first paragraph with your second.
Kentucky CAN get athletes to compete. We can.

NIL
saying this is as good as it gets is an absolute joke. It’s not. And the only reason it has been is because WE allow it to be.
Florida was total dogshit until they hired Spurrier. Historically one of the worst programs in the SEC.I'm not defending him. I'm fine if he is fired, quits, etc ...
People just don't like that I don't think UK will ever be consistently good in the SEC.
And even if they are for a couple of years this will never be a destination job.
Our history tells the story.
Wr need to shot more 3s.I’ve been saying for a couple of years that he’s run his course here, and today only confirms that. I don’t expect national championships, but these type of games like today where we look totally unprepared and undisciplined and don’t even compete are far too common with him the past couple of years. He’s also never truly evolved out of his mindset that he wants to control the ball, play defense, and win 13-10, which just doesn’t work anymore. It’s time for us to move on, but I’m afraid we won’t.
Again, by our allowance.
But what explained it before NIL? they were in fact a much worse situation than Lexington. Didn’t matter.

“That is not even remotely true.
Edit-
I just counted them...they had 30 winning seasons between 1952-1989
Yeah they weren't typically national title contenders but they were WAY the hell better than UK and multiple others in the leagueThat is not even remotely true.

Yeah, I don’t believe this is an NIL problem. Not to this degree at least. This team should be better with the roster as is.What a waste of talent. How many targets for brown and key? I know BVG didn’t have much time but damn.
They were considered one of the bottom feeders in the SEC. They were called a “sleeping giant”. Like KY.![]()

I don't think this is the definition of dog poo
Even if that’s true that’s not why they lost today. We have good players. It’s no excuse for them to be this bad. This is South Carolina not Alabama. We look WORSE on offense. Think about that. I don’t even understand how that’s possibleJMHO and I can get roasted for it but this is as good as it gets at UK with any coach that would come here.
I am not defending Stoops and would be fine if he left. I just think this isn't a football school and it never will be. The main reason we even compete at the level we do is because of recruiting success of Stoops and Marrow, Ohio/Michigan relationships. They go, that's gone.
Totally get why people want him gone though. You can almost rinse and repeat every season.
I think the bigger question is who wants this job? You can get Sumrall or Neal Brown and that's your two best options whod have interest.Just because we sucked for a 100 years doesn’t mean 7 and 8 win seasons are good. Guy has never even sniffed a sec title. And he makes more in a year than pretty much all the other coaches did in their career.

He ****ed that up. After this season he will have to leave for any team that will take him, and that’s entirely on him. You can’t quit BEFORE you have the new job lined up but that’s clearly what he’s done.Guys, Stoops wants to be gone. He literally already tried to leave. He is done here. Just looking for a golden parachute. He wants a nice bag on his way out.
