Okay, I'm ready to move on

[billoliver40]

Although I have leveled my fair amount of criticism against coach Stoops and his staff(s) over the years, at heart I've supported him.

This game today completes the transition that began with Ol Miss and increased with South Carolina.

I've got to say I'm done....time to move on.
Soft play, poor or inexcusable play calling, reversion to bad clock management, unprepared yet again. Almost all season, including a weak OOC schedule.

Now for whatever reason, this team has folded.
I anticipate no more wins this year.

Thanks for what you have done, coach....but this dance is over.
Enjoy Auburn.

Auburn wouldn’t hire his ass LOL

 

[Kattopper]

I don’t think Auburn hires coaches who lose to programs that have lost 25+ straight conference games.

 

[ACT ONE]

Nobody in the SEC is going to hire him.

 

[sambowieshin]

Stoops has done more than enough to earn some slack for a down season. I don't see how he keeps Scankygorilla though.
Tried to make a Tim Tebow into a Peyton Manning and instead turned Levis from the hammer into a nail.
Losts of reevaluating of the direction of the program needs to take place post season.

 

[billoliver40]

Complimentary football today. Everybody played bad and coached bad

 

[ACT ONE]

No excuse to lose to Vandy. Especially at home with a supposed NFL quarterback.

I have had Season tickets and Parking Pass since 1980, going to finally think hard about keeping them now. Hard to justify cost especially with next Season looking really bad with how schedule is setup and who we lose

One did

 

[ACT ONE]

One did

You got me on that. I should've said "no one else"!

 

[PhattyJ4UK]

I'm with you

It would be different if Stoops ceiling was higher than what he's accomplished. But it isn't. He isn't smart enough. Will always have in game brain farts and will never outscheme an opponent.

 

[hoggwildcat]

3 out of the 4 losses were embarrassing, and played like garbage. This team should have beaten OMiss, beat Mississippi St and Florida, (All bowl teams) and can't beat 2 bottom feeders in the SEC at home. How can you explain that?

 

[StubbornPenny]

Auburn won’t take him, are you high? Iowa maybe.

 

[Random UK Fan]

On the bright side we’re diluting Tennessee and S. Carolina’s SOS and bowl prestige.

i agree except for the levis part. since his injuries at ole miss all running plays have been taken out. it killed the dynamic of our rushing attack and our ability to stay on the field and complete 3rd and 4th downs. even a team like vandy can tee off. load the box, play man, and watch levis hold the ball looking for a slow developing route and still get the sack.

 

[IFerg1969]

This whole coaching staff is suspect. I still don't understand all the Brad White love. We gave up 264 yds rushing today to Vandy. We supposedly have more talent on the DL than we've had since the 70s and a pretty solid linebacking corps. How do you give up so many rushing yds to Vandy? It's either talent that was evaluated to be better than what they actually were or piss poor coaching, or hell, maybe both.

Agree 100%. the decision to change Levis into something he’s not, has cost us more than anything. When DC’s rush us, they know Levi’s isn’t going to scramble.

Maybe Iowa will🙏🙏🙏🤞🤞🤞

Right. The fans would explode. No one in the SEC wants Mark Stoops. Not with his offense. The SEC is just different as they say.

 

[BlueBallz]

You got me on that. I should've said "no one else"!

And the same person that hired him would be hiring his replacement, which scares me more than anything.

Not a Brad White fan either. Defense like the offense is too conservative. And that’s all on Stoops.

I’m not a White fan either!

 

[BigRedMachineBigBlueNation]

I can’t disagree. Who do we look at for replacements.

 

[billoliver40]

Unfortunately, Whites defense was just as inept as the offense today.
Vanderbilt chewed up the D on the run, and multiple third and fourth and longs were disasters for the Kentucky defense.

This, I’ve been down on stoops for a while but I’m also afraid of who Mitch B will hire.

Auburn wants a coach that can beat Alabama. We just lost to fkn VANDY at home... This Auburn talk has always been stupid.

 

[CB3UK]

Anyone who believes Auburn would hire Stoops is naive at best

How about Vandy’s coach?

 

[backinky2018]

To the OP, I'm surprised that you are saying this given that you're a long-time fan. It's true that some of Stoops games will wear us out, and it's true that yesterday's loss was horrific, but the man has earned some leeway. We are miles ahead of where we have ever been as a program in my lifetime (I'm 45).

I'm down about this and pessimistic about where things stand but Stoops should only leave if he wants to leave.
