Good article on Sumrall and UK...

That article just makes me sad. It is something that is unattainable right now which makes thinking about "What could be" even harder.

Thanks Mitch. 😫 😫 😫 😭😭😭😡😡😡

All the blame is on Barnhardt. Kinda like whoever was the AD when Bear Bryant was here and caused UK to suffer the consequences of him leaving except this time Barnhardt overplayed his hand in giving the huge buyout which will be equally devastating to Kentucky.
 
Replace Sumrall in the sections about “bring home one of their own” and “staying in Lexington as long as allowed” with Joker and what do you get?

By no means saying he couldn’t do it but setting Sumrall up with extreme expectations won’t end well for the fans. Building a program is a marathon, not a sprint. Can’t predict what the man is capable of but stop with making him look like the next coming of Bear Bryant.

Well given that Sumrall has been a HC at two schools and won at both and Joker was an OC with no HC experience at all, I don’t think it would really make sense to swap their names. Even as a thought experiment
