Brooks had his flaws, too, and was already almost 70 when he retired from a very stressful profession...I doubt he would've stayed MUCH longer even if Mitch gave him everything he ever wanted. He's had a great and enviable retirement and I'm glad for him.
Something HAS TO CHANGE!!!

No one is caring about a 30 yo title. Nor have they made the playoffs yet. However, people do care about money. So, being able to offer twice the pay, the opportunity to coach in the premier football conference and at a school willing to invest heavily in the program, and a fanbase that will immoralize him if he does manage to win big here.
We got lucky with Stoops?
Why would we have to get a no name?
Trying to convince everyone that we can't do better so we should stick with Stoops isn't going to be the sell you think it is. A lot of people are fed up with him and his schtick. He slowly approaching the same fate as Joker.
That's a great point.....but something else is on the way with the 12 Team playoff...and that is the end of Bowls as we know them. At the present, the rallying cry is "We made it into a Bowl game"...but very soon, making a Bowl-outside the Championsnip Bowls, if the Championships are structured that way) will mean even less than it does now.
Not to belabor the obvious, but American sports fans just aren't about the consolation prize. Anyone seen the old consoation game in the NCAA Basketball Tourney, lately? Talk about a dead horse. The shakers and movers in the old Bowl system fought the Playoffs tooth and nail, because they knew that the Playoffs would inevitably sound the death knell for the old system. Today, making some Bowl at 6-6 or 7-5 team can provide some relief for the Kentucky fan, but a couple of years from now-not so much.
Well, considering next year, the SEC is abolishing the east and west format with the addition of Texas and Oklahoma. Only the top two placed team go to the SEC championship. That will put are chances at slim and none.
Speaking of stupid as hell, you completely misunderstood what I said, but that's not surprising. Anyone who would idolize a 7-5 per year coach can't have the mental capacity to rub two brain cells together. I was saying that even if Stoops shits the bed, he'll still be the winningest coach in history, so that's a stupid reason to want to keep him. Tom Landry was the winningest coach the Dallas Cowboys ever had and he got fired. So what?
Stoops doesn’t get a mulligan from me for this year. No way. This season was his mulligan for last season when he shat the bed. He needs to resign after the bowl game so UK can start moving forward.
