What a joke.
1. You give an unnecessary 9M but the bigger problem is thru 2031 (a 9 year guarantee) last year after losing at home to Vandy.
2. So Stoops was flirting with leaving 12 months after the contract above was inked....Texas AM fanbase pushed back and the deal is nixed.
3. So why is there no clause to for UK to pull out of contract but Stoops has little resistance (a small buyout if he leaves) if he wants out.
4. These football deals are so lopsided to coaches. I look for that to change in a hurry. You cna't just flirt to leave and the school holds all the downside.
5. UK fans and the freaking AD should realize while Stoops has done a solid job but UK was going to low bowl games every year 2 years before Stoops got to UK. He did lift the program up which is his credit but the program is sliding back (losing at home to Vandy, Mizzou and USC) and next year could be a non bowl season....that is how bad it looks.
6. FInally, this ain't 11 years ago. THe landscape not just of UK but of college has changed a ton. The SEC and Big10 are where the action is at. And even lower jobs in those conferences are gigs that are in demand more than ACC, PAC and B12 jobs now. So to argue UK would never get a good coach....bullcrap. (There is a reason Brian Kelly left Notre Dame for LSU).....and all the TV money, NIL deals, etc are in those 32 teams.
