Ok Stoops defenders. Explain.

for 9 million a year I guaruntee Mitch could get a good coach.
Who can he get who is willing to put his good resume at risk at a program that has one hand tied behind its back? Why is it the coaching fraternity says Stoops has done the impossible?

We'd like to get even better but Stoops is likely as successful a coach well be able to get and more importantly, KEEP. These hate Stoops have gotten old.
 
Send me some of whatever your smoking fella.

UK made a choice in the 50's. Rupp got a caddy, Bear got a zippo.

This isn't a football school. We don't have an abundance of native HS talent.

Lastly, if it is fixable why hasn't UK done it in the past 75 years?

Meanwhile...it is now a 14pt gam
Do you know how much we spend on our football coaches? Get your head out of the 50’s.
 
These posts have to be simple minded pot stirring. Bama is miles ahead of us in talent. What the hell did you expect? We still have a good shot at 9-4. Thats a good, but not great, season for UK.

Is it a good shot though? I'll say a punchers chance.

Once again, money talks, bull shit walks. I guaruntee if Mitch lets it be known he will pay 9 or 10 million a year, you will have a list of stellar candidates. And the " coaching fraternity?" Have you EVER heard one head coach openly criticize another?
 
say what you will about what Stoops has done for Kentucky, he should never be mentioned as a good coach if he can't put a team together that will push back against the top competition.

you have to ask yourself what is the goal for Kentucky football. If its an automatic loss against the best of the SEC and your aspirational to beat UT and Florida, then fine, we have our coach. We're set.

“Do you know anything about the history of UK football. I am 67 and most years of my life we sucked. At least with Stoops we have winning records. Believe me it could be alot worse.”


So sick of the same reply every time stoops is criticized. Of course we can expect anything good because we’ve always been bad attitude.

Yea he will hire the football version of Cal. Now there is some dollars we'll spent. How about the clown coaching women's basketball, that was his hire.

To be fair calipari has won a national title and 4 final fours. The error with him is that we should have let him go in 2019 to ucla.

The women's coach is awful.

The baseball coach has been underwhelming overall.
 
No you’re right. Every coach who loses to Alabama should be fired.
Please. We’re getting thrashed by good teams that aren’t thrashing other teams on their schedule like this. And the sec version of a cakewalk we have takes a hit next year with the scheduling although it’s unbelievably fortunate if it’s true our annual games are sc and Vandy. I mean we don’t even schedule outside of the mac for our non p5 games for fear of taking an L.

I understand your point on Cal, but, with the talent he has had he should have had 3NC and 6 Ff. He also gave us the worst season in UK history, has lost every record UK had held, sent us to 2 NIT's. Point is our AD should be first one to let go.

Lost every record UK has had? Like what? Kansas cheated to pass UK in all time wins and now UK is back n front. I agree on that he should have won another title or 2 perhaps but didn't finish the deal in 20111 or 2014 or 2015. Last 2 had key injuries though.

that's a poor defense of Cal. We are #1 again because another program had to forfeit games. Oh boy
 
Wrong. Leary would've started at the beginning of the year. Davis would be their best back. Walker would start. Wallace would start. I realized we're outmanned at the other 18 positions but we've seen other shitty teams hang with Bama this year. No reason we shouldn't be able to at home. But our conservative style on both sides of the ball doesn't bode well against teams with superior talent.

How many of the players on Kentucky’s roster received an offer from Alabama?

How would you have won the game today?

If Kentucky blitzes quarterback is good enough to run right passed them.

If they stay back someone gets open.

On offense what is aggressive enough? It better only take 1.5 seconds or it is a sack.


I think watching the game is saddening and maddening for fans because this is the second time all year that Kentucky clearly didn’t belong on the field today.

Generally it happens one time a year, growing up for me it happened almost every weekend.

I don’t know the solution to actually be competitive with Alabama or Georgia and if you have the answer I hope you can get it to the administration and coaches.
 
We could hire Vince Lombardi and we still would have gotten our a**es kicked today. I don't understand why you all do this to yourselves. Fire him....go for it, won't change anything.
Nothing will change while he stays. No offensive innovation. Defense is not even MAC level good. No SEC level talent on the roster or in the coaching.
 
Missouri says otherwise. Notice how I mentioned the less of the three (now four) teams who’ve beat us down this year

No I just saw that you said it matters how we are losing and I asked why?

If Kentucky wins 10 games fans wine because we are not offense oriented and couldn’t do anything without Benny snell, if we go 8-4 with 4 crap losses that is still an 8 win season.

If you win ugly or lose ugly at the end of the day all that matters is if you win or not.

You're SUPPOSED to beat the cupcakes on your schedule, that's why they're on there. If you beat the east michigan and all the other directional schools but aren't even competetive with the top teams in your conference, what have you accomplished?

If you demand a record better than 8-4 every year what in the world are you doing on a Kentucky football message board?

Georgia and Alabama rarely lose outside of the playoff or SEC championship there isn’t any school that is competitive with them outside of the top 5.

What other SEC school would Kentucky not be competitive with?
 
I wish it worked like that. It doesn't.

Salaries are OOC. Fire him. Hire another guy...he does good, he will get more money too.

Is UK overpaying? Yep. They are overpaying to be competitive in the SEC. This school simply cannot recruit at the level of most of SEC. That is just a fact.
They’re currently getting top 25-30 classes every year. That’s more than enough to be competitive. On paper they’re far more talented the UL. But you watch, UK Will get their asses handed to them in that game. And the reason will be, better coaching for the other team. Also, how do you explain Rich Brooks taking a team full of three stars and beating eventual national champion LSU? Good coaching!

I get we don’t have Bama players but we play a style that acts like we got Bama players
True enough, but one has to consider that there are a lot of 4 stars on the defense. Especially in the front 7.

You're exactly what people call a loser fan. I expect them to win every game. I mean, why play if you don't expect to win? And if you have a coach who is in the top 10 of salary, you should be ranked at the minimum 10-15th every year

No one else on bamas schedule had trouble getting pressure on them. They had given up 4.6 sacks/game coming into today. Even MTSU got 2 on them the first game of the year. Every team on their schedule had at least 2 sacks, but we couldn’t even come close to getting 1. That’s a scheme issue.
