Welcome aboard guys. Most impressed with Yenser so far, seems really on top of it.
Good stuff in this video. Can’t wait to see this year’s team on April 9!!!
I think you misunderstood Stoops. The way I took it he was saying he had 3 future pros in their last year going to the pros. Think he way complementing the players as they were so old and good they basically didn’t need much coaching. Didn’t feel he was throwing shade at Woodward.
Hell yea. Big blue boner engaged.
“Bengals, Reds, and UK”.
Zach Yenser gets it. He stole the show. This is Big Blue Wall country, and that guy is built for this program.
Also, it’s awesome to have Drake Jackson on staff.
Yenser on QB Will Levis - “Dude, stud”.

I didnt know Drake had joined the staff until yesterday but that is huge IMO. I was concerned a little about the Oline prior to the new hire and news about Drake but feeling MUCH better now. Think we will see a bunch of the young guys take off in their development.
I think yenser is a home run. The oc I'll reserve judgment. I think he's a very capable coach but his personality is clearly not able to connect like coen.
Mike stoops is just a disappointing addition. Said that for awhile but didn't see anything yet to change my mind.

Man. Very excited for next season. Think we upgraded the o line coach and don't think we downgraded oc with a potential upgrade.
Also. We should be able to get some NASTY running backs with these guys. Just show them deebo and say this could be you.

I know many were upset the way Wolford left, I get it. But the guy is getting ready to put 3 guys in the NFL...that's pretty good.
I've had thoughts adding the same line after reading some stuff out of San Francisco about Scangarello. Everyone is happy he's leaving and that's never good.
I'm curious as to what knowledge of football assistant coaching abilities you have, that would give you the confidence to call someone a home run or a disappointment, before they have done anything concrete that you would have access to? I also can't get over the fact that you said Mike Stoops was a disappointment when he was hired, just before the dead period I might add, and that he hasn't done anything to change your mind. I'm pretty sure you stated that unironically, which puts quite a bit here to unpack in just a four sentence post. I encourage everyone to read their posts aloud before hitting send, so we don't have to spend so much time dissecting less than coherent messages.
It's a message board. If only experts and insiders posted, we'd all just be reading rockcats posts.
Mike stoops has this far a very lackluster track record. If his last name was Smith, he'd never gotten this job. He's fine but we could've done better. We should've done better because we lost two major recruiters the last two years and are yet to fill their void.
I just copied and pasted a past post to someone apparently from your neck of the metaphorical woods, but it's suitable for you and BigBlueInsanity apparently. There aren't many who post here who have the qualifications to analyze this hire as a home run or otherwise, but if you allow social media posts by complete strangers to sway your opinions of people's professional abilities before you've had a chance to see them work, then that must be the most intellectually lazy thing I can think of. Stoops has more knowledge than any of us and has earned our trust to hire the right people, but that bother me less than the thought that you might be so easily swayed in other areas of life.
Anyone who forms their opinion form anonymous, uniformed, sour grapes social media posts gets a 1/10 from me, in any context.
I didn't say don't post. I wish there were more people posting. I'm just calling out BS when I see people forming inaccurate, unreasonable or unsupported opinions. I'd love to see you support how Mike Stoops' track record is lackluster. He's coached for around 30 years, been a P5 HC and has personally coached in more bowl games than UK, as a school, has played in. I will provide a link below with a long list of accolades, but what makes your comment absurd, is that with this guys exceptional resume, he's taken the inside LB coaching role at UK. I'd be willing to bet a large sum of money that he is both the most experience inside LB coach in UK history and probably the most experienced Inside LB coach currently coaching in D1.
Now, is he going to do a great job at UK? Who knows? I would suspect he would, given that he loves the HC more than the avg asst coach, but only time will tell. Feel free to support your opinion by finding a team, at or below UK's level, who has an inside LB coach with more "luster" on their track record.

Toughness, passion and accountability define the University of Arizona's football program under seventh-year head coach Mike Stoops. And now, too, high-flying

Additionally, since it only took me 15 seconds before I hit send on the post above, I'm including a link that clearly refutes the insinuation that he is not a good hire due to his recruiting track record. You either like to form opinions without looking up any facts or maybe you don't look up the meanings of words like lackluster.

I said he's fine. You just can't replace summrall with him. We could've done better. He's been fired nearly everywhere he's been.
I don’t get the Mike Stoops was only hired because of his last name. He was working as a D Cord when we hired him. Mark wasn’t helping a brother out, he had a job, that to me says he wanted him on staff. This was the second time he tried to get him on staff. If I’m confident about anything with Mark, he knows how to coach defense and he knows when others can and cannot. Once his original guys left, Brumbaugh and Elliott, he’s made a bunch of excellent hires on that side of the ball. Elliott and Brumbaugh may have been fine too, if they were working with the talent UK currently has.
Elliott was awful and proved as much over time. Brumbaugh was fine but Stewart is better.
Iirc Mike was a bama analyst when we hired him. Not a DC. He never kept a DC job iirc

He was for a couple of years, the first time we tried to hire him for sure. I thought I read he took the DC job at FIU or FAU before UK hired him this time.
Edit: I just looked, it was Florida Atlantic (DC)
For the 100th time I will remind folks that a year ago Sarkisian hired Mike to be the Texas linebackers coach. He had to renig on the deal, due to him being weak and unable to handle fan backlash to hiring someone so closely aligned with hated Oklahoma.
A guy good enough to be LB coach at the Longhorns & recruit for a coach who was also at Bama with him, ought to be good enough for the Kentucky Wildcats.

He's been dc, HC, and everything in between. He's been fired from most all of them.
Look at his resume without his name and noone would be excited.he will be fine but we could've done better
Way to be an asshole man. I didn't say I'd formed any opinion. And what's it to you? How bout you not quote me anymore with your insults?
You literally agreed with someone insulting our new coach and he was quoting anonymous message board posters as his reason and you have the nerve to ask me not to insult you? lol This message board is an irony party. How about you don't insult others who aren't here to refute the BS posts? If you have an opinion that you can back up with facts, then have at it, but if you post BS with nothing to support except I read some ignorant fan's post somewhere, then be prepared to defend yourself.
Do you know how to read? I mean actually comprehend what is written? I don't think so. You blew up at me for no reason. I didn't say a negative thing about Scangarello. I said a large portion of the San Francisco media seemed happy he left. That gives me pause. It should anyone. I'll judge slowly on the hire. That's all I said. Learn to read tough guy. Literally all I said was it's concerning to see people from his last job be happy he left his last job. So that's not concerning to you? If it isn't you're being foolish.

I know how to read well. You agreed with someone who had been siting message board comments and you never mentioned media. Here is what you posted: "I've had thoughts adding the same line after reading some stuff out of San Francisco about Scangarello. Everyone is happy he's leaving and that's never good." You said everyone is happy he is leaving. Then I went to NFL.com to find out he is "a highly respected quarterback developer". You can't expect reader of your posts to read your mind, so if you post something that can easily be proven to be incorrect, especially when you don't site any factual content or provide a link, and can't take the blowback, then don't post unsubstantiated opinions. Here's a link from a NFL analyst refuting what you claim: https://www.nfl.com/videos/pelisser...ring-former-49ers-qb-coach-rich-scangarello-a
I have no problem with differing opinions. I have problems with people making up negative info without providing substantive information to back it up.
AHHHHYEAH!!
never too early for some Coach Stoops love
thanks for posting this !!
hard to believe spring football is here ??!
Love those cats , man !!!

No 3rd grade level. If you're going to try to pick nits like that you'll have an aneurysm on this board. Go try and lecture someone else. I read a lot of things at the time and several Frisco people laughed at the highly respected quarterback developer thing you mention. I didn't make up anything. Go do some more research bookbag.
