How many times does a situation like the one with Stoops happen? Coach has peaked and is on downhill slide. Pretty much everyone sees it, but the coach won't do the right thing and step down. So, what is it that prevents him from doing the right thing? Is it purely greed; he doesn't want to give up the money. Is it ego; he can't admit he just isn't getting it done anymore. Is it over-confidence; he believes he can fix it. Is it just the competitive spirit; he still wants to try to win. Is it some combination, or something different? Most of these characteristics are beneficial to a coach. But, they aren't good when the coach is at the end of the road and refuses to admit it.
What specifically is it with Stoops? I have a hard time believing that he still thinks he can do anything else to elevate the football program at UK. So is he simply just wanting to hang on to the money? Does he really believe he can get this train back on the track? Is there no one in his inner circle with the balls to tell him it is time to step down?
I love the UK Wildcats. I will never root for them to lose. And, I don't dislike Mark Stoops. I appreciate all he has done for UK. But, I hate to see him drive the program back down to the same depth it was when he took it over.
