What they do this off-season will be interesting. Conventional wisdom says Norvell has a grace period, but I’m not certain.
You just didnt compare the winningest coach in UK football history to Bill Curry?!
Run Stoops off and see what happens. It will set the UK football program back a decade if not more. The man has earned the right for a few more seasons to see what happens.
I am not happy with the past 2.5 yrs or so but damn we just had the biggest SEC on campus road win in our history.
I think we win today and then we will see how things play out.
This defense is nasty.
The O has potential too.
This season is at the midway point; with the tough schedule it could go either way.
But IMHO a coaching change at this juncture would be suicide for the UK football program.
I think you only set the program back if you duff the next hire.
The whole set a program back argument was more of a thing in previous eras before the money is what it is and before you could plug holes via the portal. You also had to build a complete team top to bottom which takes years.
It also took time to grow exposure. Part of that decade rebuild was the fact that you might not ever be seen nor heard from, even if you were good.
24/7/365 sports media…week day games…talent can see you. I watched Sam Houston State v WKU and had a blast doing it.
Now you can make Duke and IU into top 20 programs overnight. They don’t spend the money on football nor have the talent that we do.
For 9-10 million dollars per, SEC money sharing and brand/platform…we could go get almost anyone.
The only thing that sets a program back these days is waiting a decade to make a change. I’m not saying we’re at that point yet but it’s approaching. If it can happen to UK basketball it can happen to football. Thanks Cal for all the great shit the first 6-8 years…we almost fell into the abyss the last 3-5.
Thanks CMS for all you’ve done…we’ll be happy to see you when we hang your jersey up in Kroger some day…right now though we’re 3 years into a “set back” post 10-3 season.
Tick tock…how many years do we give while worrying about a set back?
