Stoops has to issue some kind of statement TODAY does he not ?
- Thread starter Uncle Adolph
- Start date
Do you think he cares about your demands?
Unless that statement is that he's retiring effective immediately, then I don't think he can say much that will make a positive difference for fans.
I'm guessing he has not lost a wink of sleep about it
Only thing I desire to hear is “ my time at the university of Kentucky has ended “
Barnhart missed his chance last year when it was obvious the "juice" was missing from the program...
Yep, am aware of Stoops' suffocating contract issues....
Not much to say
Death spiral continues along with mediocrity

I don’t think Stoops will say anything until he has a replacement locked up.
Sure wish Mitch would go ahead and get the wheels rolling and bring Jon home............... Can't do much with the way he loves to do his contracts though and it SUCKS!
Mediocrity means somewhere in the middle. We're nowhere near the middle right now. We're duking it out with MSU to see who sucks less and will finish 15th in the conference.
Sucks for both them and us that we’re no longer permanent opponents to each other.
You can't be serious. That seems absurd.
My guess is that the news is premature. Marrow is famous for putting Kentucky in these positions so they will give him a raise. The lack of an announcement may mean they are still negotiating.
I suggest not jumping to conclusions. I am waiting to hear a real announcement.
Speaking of absurd. Once this news is out, it’s over. Like once Cal was confirmed to be taking to Arky, it was truly over (no matter he thought if he could wiggle his way back in)
What's over?
BTW, I hadn't heard that Cal tried to wiggle his way back in. That didn't happen. But if you believe that, I won't try to talk you out of it.
Vince as a position coach was ok.
Now as a recruiter to a less desirable school. He was great.
Louisville offered him just that he was good at.
It’s over, Vince is gone. Once news is out that you’re going to Louisville, you can’t come back.
Go Back and Look at what happened during that week when it broke that Cal talked to Arky. Cal very clearly tried to salvage the UK job at the last minute and Mitch was not having it since he breached his contract. This is well known information.
nah ... he just crawls into bed and pulls that big, bloated contract up over his rotund body and sleeps like a baby.
I don't think hes coming back this time. However I do agree the pressure for a statement is premature. Nothing will be said until vince has his contract finalized.
Not that it means much as far as anything being finalized but 24/7 already has Vince as UL’s general manager.

That’s what’s odd maybe VM violated his contract in someway?
The lack of communication from UK Athletics just seems something is off?
Most things I've read have stated since Vince Morrow is taking a GM position, not an active coaching position, there is no contractual violation. Also no buyout clause.
Sure he can and has. When the AD says he can comment on I'm sure he will. I don't need anyone to say jack about it. I'm good with it. It's over. Moved on. I know that's hard for a lot of UK fans because it's personal to them. I get it.
It's gonna be coach speak and not really address anything or revealing of it so what are we really expecting. I'd rather he's focused on recruiting and fixing the mess that was last year, as well as finding a GREAT COACH, if possible, to replace him and really coach up our TEs.
For decades I've wanted to be TE U. We've had such great TEs over the years and never really featured them. I'd like UK to take over and dominate that position in the SEC.
FFS I'm stoked now, because we just freed up 1.3 MILLION dollars! Should be able to get 1 or 2 great coaches with that money, or 1 great coach and reduce premium ticket prices for that one game next year by $10 per ticket, or $8 and print t-shirts for the stadium for another. LFG!
There's a fine tooth comb being applied, no doubt. That's a sht ton of money and UK should be working on getting it or some of his money back. They'll sort it either way

Thanks for the link. Good to see its official.
I haven't a clue about what Stoops could say. Never heard him bad mouth a former coach.
This is business. Big money business. None of us know anything for sure of what's going on. For all we know Stoops could have told Morrow he was getting ready to leave in a year and Vince better grab a new home.
It's over. On we go. Give Conrad the TE coach slot and roll on.

He's always talked once he has a replacement contracted. Then he'll give the standard "just got to upgrade whenever and wherever we can," "next man up" stuff. It'll come
He can easily stay silent.
Stoops is done here. It is just a matter of when the University agrees and pays him off.
Due to Stoops’ ridiculous contract (thanks Mitch…), retaining him for another year could set us back for multiple future seasons to come. This week’s events further illustrate that. I hope I’m wrong, but whatever “fire” Stoops thinks or says he has left in the tank, hasn’t convinced me that he can get us out of this mess. The inability to navigate new NIL era, inexcusable undisciplined play, and an uncharacteristic lack of physicality have all been contributing issues. Now we’re already behind in 2026 recruiting! I hope Sumrall doesn’t mind waiting another year..
Exactly correct and UK is paying a guy who ranks salary wise 9th nationally and 5th in the SEC a whopping $9,013,600 a year for squat wins
