Stoops Post Game

[Eccain01]

I’m not worried about Leary. If we integrate more tempo he’ll be fine. He made soem beautiful throws. I’m more concerned with out terrible our defense has been on third down and in zone coverage. Just very undisciplined. And we still get zero pressure from the edge. Just gotta be better

Actually he seemed relatively positive regarding the team. “Complementary football” is the new buzzword. And of course he talked up EKU like they are a formidable power.

Did he not see film of the EKU Cincinnati game??

Stoops is a top ten earning coach. His team's, if you go back and research prior seasons, have at least one of these performances a year against a weak opponent. I don't think any other top ten earning coaches has that statistic on his resume. I never agreed with giving him another raise (8.6 mil per). That's more than Jim Harbaugh, James Franklin, Lane Kiffen to name a few. I don't know how much more UK is willing to pay a 7 win coach, but Stoops is closing in on coaches that have won multiple championships.

I get blasted every time I say this

Yes. Yes he did.
He was just hoping that we didn't see those films.

My patience with Stoops is about gone . His job is to have his team prepared and physically we have all these tools -- Will L last year ,with Crod, This season a top notch QB transfer and a group of quality receivers , experience on D ... and mentally we look like " we so damn good all we have to do is show up " and for a half EKY embarrassed us . First series we need a simple QB sneak to keep drive alive .. false start .. false start on a damn QB. sneak . Then the punt block , the EKU runs thru us for a 7-0. lead ... then a totally boneheaded decision to go for it on 4th and 9 ????? WTH ... I love going for it to keep possession but that was a terrible time for it , Leary then gets creamed for a big loss .. entire half was mistake after mistake . Sorry but thats not what I expect from a veteran coach like Stoops .. his teams tend to match his demeanor , aloof and somewhat bipolar . I'm not going to expect too much going forward . You get to high with his teams you gonna get burnt .

Good points. My patience with Stoops ran out years ago. Been praying for a new aggressive coach.

Hey, maybe we can nab Nick Saban when he retires from Bama!

We always have a clunker or two every year with these games, in Coen’s first year we squeezed by UT-Chattanooga 28-23 and proceeded to have a ten win season. Not saying we don’t have issues because we do, the lack of focus and penalties are a concern but offensively some of that can be attributed to a new QB and three new starters on the line. Not making excuses but we’ve been very vanilla to this point and that’s probably to let Leary get the rust off. We haven’t used our TE’s and that’s something Coen always leans on. Wouldn’t surprise me to see another 20 point win today and then thump VU and UF.

Am afraid he has capped out....This is, for the most part, the best it's going to be under Stoops.... No creativity, etc.

And, oh, BTW, our OL coach should have been fired last year.....

So far he has 6 4 * on board for 24. I remember when UK didn't have 6 4*in a decade
