Its simple really. Its the same ole stuff with Stoops. Has his time came to an end?
This is me. Bring in Sumrall. Just do it. Stoops is looking like Cal's last few years.When I found out TAMU hired him, I was excited about bringing in Sumrall. I suppose that answers the question.
Yeah, Stoops has done good things here, but we need a fresh voice. I think there was some pride in the athletic program that we had the longest tenured AD, bball coach, and 2nd longest fball coach in the league. But there's a downside to that too... things get stale. You see how much the basketball program has been lifted by bringing in Pope (morale, at least, results TBD). I would vote Sumrall as well.When I found out TAMU hired him, I was excited about bringing in Sumrall. I suppose that answers the question.
JMHO 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.
Yes. Only difference is Cal is a has-been. He had it at one time. Stoops is a never-been. He’s never been a threat to the powerhouses.This is me. Bring in Sumrall. Just do it. Stoops is looking like Cal's last few years.

I hate him. Period. Like Cal, you know what you are getting. Get him out of here.Its simple really. Its the same ole stuff with Stoops. Has his time came to an end?

You completely refuted your first paragraph with your second.
Kentucky CAN get athletes to compete. We can.
Best conference
Transfer portal
Chance to play for playoffs
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.
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...

Stoops blows.Its simple really. Its the same ole stuff with Stoops. Has his time came to an end?
Again, spot on.
It's not a fairly stacked playing field and never has been. It's only getting worse.
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.
Near and Fran only others....haha, that was a lifetime ago, literally.
Yeah- Missouri is such a better situation than us.
Not with that attitudeYou can tell yourself that.

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.Mark Stoops should resign
