Ok, I'll bite...
You prefer the term whining, I will go with just telling the truth. Your comment that Stoops 'has won many games against rosters with considerably more talent' is demonstrably false.
Stoops is 5-15 against the SEC West since arriving: three wins against Mississippi State, one close win against an Arkansas team in the midst of a double digit SEC losing streak, and an LSU team that currently has a record of 9-10 the last 2 seasons.
I don't think anybody can argue that the SEC East schedules Stoops has faced have been by far the easiest of most if not all of our lifetimes. Tennessee is a shell of it's former self, I believe in the last 11 or 12 years we actually have more winning seasons then they do. And yet Stoops is 2-7 against them. After last year the Vols had a ton of players leave through the transfer portal, they had a coach in his first year, and were playing us on the road Saturday. We put up over 600 yards and had the ball for like 46 minutes...and we lost.
One of the best things that happened in recent memory to the UK football program and for Stoops was the addition of Missouri to the SEC East, I believe Missouri joined the conference a year before Stoops arrived at UK. Adding another East opponent meant going from 3 to 2 West opponents every year. I pointed out his record against the West, it is big deal getting Missouri every year instead of more games against the Auburns and LSUs...
Our success in recent years has largely been beating the three non conference bunnies on the schedule and really bad South Carolina teams, mediocre to bad Missouri teams, and of course...Vandy. Take away Missouri, SC, and Vandy and he is 9-38 against the rest of the SEC. And I have already mentioned how bad Tennessee has been in recent memory, many of the Florida teams Stoops faced were nothing compared to the Spurrier and Urban Meyer Gators we were once use to seeing.
3-6 against Miss St, 3-4 against Louisville...
It is fun being 6-3 and all, but right now it looks like there will be only one team on our schedule (Georgia) who will be ranked at the end of the year. How many times can you ever say that has happened? I remember a bunch of years where 4 or 5 or maybe even 6 teams we played were ranked at the end, that is how tough the schedule was historically.
There is actually a lot I like about Stoops but I'm not going to deny that a big part of his success has been because he has played against much weaker schedules than UK normally has faced. The SEC East has been really weak for a while now. I'm certainly not advocating for getting rid of him or anything, but saying he regularly wins games he shouldn't is a bit much.
Where are the many games he has won against a considerably better rosters?
