Is the key to easy transition for Stoops to Iowa, Sumrall to KY. PLEASE Kirk. No need to come back for year 27.
Ferentz Iowa

Yes. Their fans have openly clamored for him, even during this struggling KY season.
Sounds great to me.
I just saw an article said a lot of fans want Franklin out of Penn St. Reasoning was that he can’t get them past the 10 win threshold. They then list Stoops as a potential candidate to replace him! 🤪🤪🤪
Doubtful, they'll go after a midwest guy if at all, Klieman at Kansas St would be most likely.
Iowa first and only call will be to Stoops when Ferentz leaves. Stoops doesn't want to be here anymore. This season writing on the wall was when AM decided against Stoops. He came back to a place he didnt want to be. No fire. No drive
I think you guys hopes of Iowa getting Stoops are looking worse with every loss this year. I won't be surprised if Stoops retires before Ferentz
Why are people assuming Stoops is their guy?
They’re a perennial top 20ish program who can pretty much name their coach.
Why wouldn’t they go after Summeral or any of the other top names?!
.500 no offense Stoops ball isnt going to cut it in the other P2 either…forget all the big boys you got IU hanging 40-50 a pop…they’re gonna call punt n field goal crew who can’t even keep up with Vandy?!

Their fans know football better, so it makes sense. Better football pedigree as a program. 13 conference titles. Ranked #1 about 15 times over the years. He'd have no problems recruiting great lines on both sides of the ball. Huge recruiting base in an area where football is king... More fan support for Hawkeye football than UK.
If they wanted him and he could keep his staff intact, it's a step up from UK Football, no question. That should tell us more about OUR program than we're ready to hear, but UK fans aren't going to listen anyway.
Can we do better than Stoops? There's an outside chance, more of a longshot maybe, but sure. Is it likely we will do better than we have with him and his staff? No. The odds are solidly against that happening if we run Stoops out of here. We have to pay an inordinate amount more than other programs just to get and keep a good coach, because we have little in the way of football history, but this fan base never fully gets behind a coaching staff. Haven't in 30 years.
The staff has to work against their own fan base to get things done, and that's a btch.
In the end you get what you earn. We've gotten back out of Stoops & Co more than we've put into them. Numbers prove that. New facilities
A ton of bowl games and bowl wins. Upsets
Ending of streaks. Starting of good ones. And respect. Something we didn't have for most of 50 years, we have now with this staff and recruits.
I don't know how long it will take to rebuild that once Stoops leaves, but it is what it is. If UK Football winds up in the shitter, it will be earned. That's what happens when you never treat what you got like you want it, because you were too frail to commit and grow through the tough times. It's clear the support isn't there to win an SEC football title like it is at 12 other schools.
