I decided it had been too long since I wrote a couple of way too long pieces so here's the second long piece of the day (third if you count the coaching thread) -- and I think I'm gonna take a little break.
This story is basically my take on the 'new approach' that is the Mark Stoops era. He's trying to succeed at Kentucky in a way that coaches before him in Lexington haven't attempted. Given that and considering that you can't draw up the perfect coach, here's a big picture case for why Stoops requires patience, and that as bad as things have looked at the end of the last two years, the odds of him 'changing' Kentucky football might be UK's best path to what fans really want.
Stoops era is 'all or nothing' new approach
