Say what you want, but we have no head coach

Ill never be happy with 10 wins being thr best season of my kentucky fandom career. NEVER.

Yawn. The implication that others settle for 7 wins or 10 wins or anything but the best is tired and old and I thought we were finally beyond that fiction.

Also, asking for a thread to closed because you have said your final word is weak. Just be done with the thread. You don't need it to be close for others.

WYMT had video taken from 180 degrees opposite perspective as that of the Florida fan. In that video you can see both of Kash's hands and what he does with them. It's why Stoops first said that Kash would still start and then changed his position and suspended him for the 1st quarter.
If you review the Florida fan's thread...in that thread I defended Kash because that video it was unclear. This other video was very clear.
For whatever reason WYMT took that video down...I think we can all speculate as to why. Had it exonerated Kash, it would have been left up.

So now you criticize Stoops for a quarter suspension...mmmkay. Just admit that you're going to disagree with him regardless what he does or why he does it. You're also probably one of the idiots that takes to tweeting and attacking players on social media. Perhaps when you have 60 years experience in watching college football like myself you'll see the errors of your way. At least there is always hope.

I think Stoops said Kash would play on Saturday. I don't remember him saying Kash would start. He had seen the video of which you speak when he made that comment and said later that he kept his comments short, because he was still considering whether Kash would start.
 
And Cal likewise
So are you saying neither Cal nor Ratface can coach? Ratface has clearly had the better roster the last two years. You seem to be trying to say not making the final 4 the last 2 years is some kind of proof Cal can't coach. Meanwhile your deity has failed at this as well.
 
It’s kind of a moot point because our fanbase, right or wrong, feels like he’s the best we can do and because of that it’s unfair to criticize any mistake, no matter how blatant, that he makes. I don’t agree with that, but it is what it is.

I think he was outcoached in the last two games, but this board has become so toxic I’m afraid to come on here and criticize anything he does because I’ll be immediately swarmed by the usuals that don’t really ever seek anything more than six or seven wins. It is what it is. Best just to sit back and watch and not criticize Stoops. Blame the QB or the refs, but Stoops is off limits.
Part of being a coach is taking the criticism when you lose. Criticizing him is not off limits in my mind. What bothers me is our basically basketball only fans who almost want him and the football program to fail, and seemingly rejoice when we lose. Stoops, his staff, and part of being a good leader is surrounding yourself with good, capable people, and of course the players he recruited brought us 10 wins for the first time in two generations. Saturday was a fail from the top down, but posting that we have no head coach. That’s a fail to.

Yawwn..fair enough.



Thx for the discussion. Maybe the "we have no head coach " was a little much but i stand by all the issues i pointed out. Yall have at it. Going to shift into getting my hopes up for a 6th in a row. This game is critical. 8 wins should be the minimum with 9 very doable. Go cats!
 
And Cal likewise
Obviously, the point is your made up standard is ridiculous. Your god (ratface) failed to accomplish the same with what were supposed to be historically great rosters. Your claim that this somehow proves Cal can't coach is downright stupid as it could have been applied at some point to anyone that has ever coached the game.
 
Lol. Please point out the impulsive comment where I said something false or childish like fire stoops he sucks. Maybe you should follow your own advice.

Im capable of praising the job stoops has done while acknowledging his shortcomings. Youre not able to do the same.

If you really are “capable of praising the job Stoops has done while acknowledging his shortcomings”, that would not distinguish you. It is a very low bar. With the exception of a few trolls and hopeless pessimists, everyone here can do that.

Where people differ is in their powers of perception and comprehension. Your OP generated a little bit of support, but a whole lot of opposition. You now have six pages of fans mostly disagreeing with you. But you keep repeating the same theme over and over, while you discount those who disagree with what you are saying.

What distinguishes your comments is that a major roster rebuild culminating in a 10-3 season with a Citrus Bowl victory has not dissuaded you from proclaiming that “we have no head coach”, while you reject all other points of view by prefacing that with “say what you want, but”. You are convinced only you are right and anyone who disagrees with you is “not able to do the same” in your own words.

But your premise is demonstrably discredited. Stoops has already won major awards for the job he is doing as our head coach, and those voters know what they are talking about. This is a retooling season, but two-thirds of the season still remains to be played. There will always be a few negative nancies. Goes with the territory. You and seccats04 should start your own website. You can call it “UK football sucks” or something similar that suits your views.

he also choked away games against Tennessee, T A&M that should’ve been wins. Hence 10 wins instead of 12. Those games were flat out on coaching. But we were so satisfied with 10 wins because it was a milestone for this program. People that are satisfied with ending up with 10 wins instead of 12, are not the kind of people I’d want leading a business or team. They have no drive to be the best. Always satisfied with a little success. It should eat at you that you blew 2 games!! Not “well, it happens, at least we won 10”.
The way you look at things Bama should just cut ties with Nick right now. He really sucked against those Tigers.

Take it to Rafters. You basketball fans cannot help yourselves, can you?

No. I would call it @Rembrandt90 is a snowflake stalker. And he’s too scared to meet me in person. Right Andy?

get the **** off that high horse
the thread was hijacked by an asshat who hates Cal...and two or three posters replied; out six pages. ask MODS to move...
pretty simple, or maybe too difficult for the football only types.
See, how that works both ways?
 
I don't know where you come up with this crap, but you sound like a kook.
Yea, I'm the kook. But I don't go stalking your posts and constantly bad mouthing you like you do. Let's go back through previous posts and every one will show that you started the moaning and whining. Get over yourself.

Haven’t chimed in yet on this thread after reading the thread title. It’s ludicrous to say we don’t have a head coach in Football. Going for his 4th winning season in a row after taking over for the dumpster fire he inherited. To say the man can’t coach is beyond dumb. Mostly it’s just a thread to get attention and I will give the OP credit for that. He has gotten plenty of attention.
 
Also stupid to criticize the basketball program in that way. The animosity the football and basketball only fans have for the other sport is really bizarre.
I didn't criticize the basketball program; I criticized the fact that yet another thread is hijacked to talk about basketball which is about as common as a thread on this board being hijacked to talk about Georgia.
 
Hopefully way too soon to bump but we obviously we not prepared to take the field tonight . Just poorly prepared and game planned

I was really really hoping for a huge dish of crow.

Even lost a 6 game parlay bc of our cats tonight.

This one sucked.
 
3 years later and the same Stoops deficiencies still exist

Only the rest of the sec is improving so those cupcakes wins aren't coming.

Glorified assistant stumbled onto the best head coaching job possible for him- where mediocre will get him a lifetime contract and half the fan base will build a statue.

WAKE UP CATS FANS- 3 years ago.... same thing .

I think the success that Stoops has had has been more a product of what continuity can give you more so than his coaching abilities. In other words, just about any coach will be able to do what he's done if they have a guaranteed 10 years to do it.

Look he made several bad hires this off season - offensive coordinator- Oline Coach - he lost key recruiters. In his defense Coen and Levis signed off on Scag - not sure who brought Yesner but it’s Stoops that has to fix it.
He’s done a great job getting talent - he does not give us a schematic advantage- He needs talented Coaches around him and he’s got a bad batch
His teams are sloppy very seldom play clean football in all 3 phases yet he’s done enough to put respect on our name
