Watching this game is like watching some old school uk football. It’s bringing back a lifetime of losing
I disagree. Once again, we have a crap OL which is affecting everything on that side of the ball. Our secondary is very inexperienced. Both things are causing issues everywhere. We already know Coen will open the offense and I doubt that has changed. What has changed is personnel and position coaching.
We will always have a reason for Stoops to lose.
I can handle him as coach just have to realize his best days are behind him and have no expectations. I think us and vandy are the only sec teams to not win their division once.
More fans need to have my opinion as this game happens.Stoops has run his course, time to move and upgrade the coaching staff if you want to compete for a division. Stoops has done some good things like prove that we can recruit well enough to win but we still are this player or that player short..UK still recruits at the bottom of the SEC and UK still are trying to recruit a QB that can take the team on his shoulders and win big games. Once that happens everything will fall into place IMHO
Offense didn't lose this game, Defense lost it......they couldn't stop running water the past three games
Bullshit. See ya next week, and the week after that, and this time next year.
You’re wrong. Stoops is the best we will have for the time being. The program isn’t attractive enough yet to to get the kind of upgrade you think UK would pull
I feel like some people think we can get someone like Saban, Dabo or Kirby smart will have interest. We would end up with Tulane's coach or some other non p5 guy and will be a 6 win team for half a decade. Repeat.
We're certainly not going to get Saban, Smart, etc. But I would bet anything that most of the top coordinator prospects and most of the top midmajor head coaches (Chadwell, to start with) would seriously consider an offer. After 2012, we took a chance on Stoops, and I have no doubt we could make a comparable hire, now. But it's academic, because Stoops isn't getting fired anytime soon, nor is he going to be a target if a job like Michigan opens up.
I like Brooks just fine , but he’s like 30 games under .500 as a college head coach with a huge sample size . It’s just not accurate to proclaim he’s ‘twice the coach ‘ …that’s not selling Stoops , it’s just evidence
Doesn't take a name like that to turn a program around, apparently. See U6.
There is alot of coaches out there that can get 6 or 7 wins a year for 1/2 the price.
Exactly. Stoops has padded his stats (which btw, he's barely above .500 in 11 years) against 3 cupcakes a year, a down UL and a down SECE. But we have lost AT HOME to Mizzou, Vandy and S Carolina the last two years. Other teams are improving and we are not.
Especially when four wins a year are guaranteed ie three directional schools and Vandy. So taking away those wins what is our record over the last ten years. We hear the media hype each preseason but in the end we have a losing record once you write off the guaranteed wins.
You’ve been around for Claiborne, Curry, Mumme, Brooks, Joker and now Stoops and this is the tone that you’re thinking about whether or not you want to continue having tickets?
Chadwell would be an absolute dream. He would come in and push this program forward. But that is a pipe dream , MB will not make a move nor will he consider Chadwell.
We’re not hiring a more accomplished coach than Mark Stoops. Like you said, it’s either a non-P5 HC or a coordinator - pretty much a crap shoot either way. One P5 coach I like who might listen would be PJ Fleck. Is that an upgrade over Mark Stoops? Maybe, I’m not sure.
Fleck is 29-28 in the Big 10 conference , which is a bit easier than the SEC top to bottom . Brohm was 26-25 in the Big 10. Both no better than Stoops on paper. With Brohm , once the ACC expands with a new TV deal , or teams leave it for the SEC or Big 10 ….it remains to be seen how he’ll do , relatively.
Wrong. Gee whiz.
Different eras. Losing at home to SEC teams that have recently replaced coaches. No excuses to be a decade in with these results. Mizzu is not a traditional power either.
Well it is the time being as long as we keep him.
This will be Drinkwitz’s first winning season in four years at Missouri. I wouldn’t hold them (him) up as the standard just yet.
There are times where a guy might be the right coach for that moment. However, that doesn’t mean he’s gonna be the answer until he’s ready to retire.
That is why there is an interview process. You can bet there would be no less than 20 applicants. Asking people on this board to come up with names is stupid. Just because we can’t provide names doesn’t mean Stoops gets a green light to stay. Wish some boosters would step in and force Mitch’s hand. Maybe Iowa will come calling.
