Stoops- pre Murray state press conference

Season 3 Ugh GIF by Parks and Recreation
 
Stoops just said there is zero percent chance he is stepping down. I also understand that he isn’t gonna straight up say he is retiring but still
That's my coach!!!!

LOL, j/k

He's going to want to prove that this season is an anomaly and that he's going to get on the winning track, etc.

I totally get the principle of leaving on a high note, but I will be pleasantly surprised if he does. We're trending towards a 4-8 season (maybe 5-7 but I doubt it). Considering who we will lose to graduation / NFL Draft / Portal, a 4-8 / 5-7 season next year is probably our ceiling.

If stoops returns I think next year is worse, Kentucky is losing a lot and I would expect a lot of guys to transfer.
 
Of course he’s not. That little fat bastard has nothing to lose by continuing to suck. He’s a nobody and doesn’t have a reputation on the line. I’ve said it already that because of that reason he’s not leaving 40 million behind.

I don’t care what the Stoops nut huggers say, this program won’t be able to afford to keep him. Barnhart better figure something out!
 
He's got it made in the shade with lemonade. Why the hell would he walk away from this gig?

Hell, we're about to be a basketball school again which takes pressure off him.

No wonder he and Cal didn't get along, Cal started to slide. All the eyes, pressure, expectations shifted to football. CMS was like "f*ck this...Cal ain't pulling his weight, but he's right these Mfers are crazy..."

Mark Pope saved the day. Ya boy Stoops can make 9 million a year now, for the most part folks, brass, boosters ain't going to pay attention.

All that offense we wanted in football...we're getting in basketball. Hell, we might even have a women's program now.

Him and Eddie can play run, run, run, run option with QB, run some more, play clock, punt, field goal...till their little hearts are content now. Don't nobody care.

I'm shocked he didn't say well, gee, I'm thinking about it but haven't made a decision yet.

What would any coach in his position say at this point in the season in his position? The same thing.

Why do you guys always turn coach bashing into disses about the coaches weight? First cal with the moronic cow nickname and Stoops always getting dissed about his weight.

I'm all for bashing the failures in coaching but think physical attacks are silly. 100% agree to disagree and not gonna get into a back and forth on this.

Agree. There are plenty of criticisms that Stoops deserves for the last few years. But there are 2-3 posters that take it way further than it’s needed and revel in an opportunity to trash our program.

Don’t worry about it. Scroll on. He wants to crack on us for “being too poor” to bring in good players. By the way he brought that up again. I’m a grown ass man. Like I said scroll on.

Dude you’re fatter than he is. What you talking about?
 
I don't know how people expect Stoops to answer that question. Even if he had the opposite on his mind he's not going to say so. He still has three games left. He doesn't want players quitting on him because they hear he plans on retiring or leaving. He has recruits listening to his words. So I don't think it really means anything at this point.

I think the staff and NIL have brought in some really good players, but they have underperformed quite a bit the last few seasons. Especially on offense.
 
I know you’ve been close to Stoops on several occasions but you’ve never seen me. I don’t go around queers like you
It’s the carbs. If you can taper them off little by little then you can drop the pounds quick. Especially in the evening. No more starches after 5
 
If we don’t have a good offensive and defensive line, it doesn’t matter who or what caliber players we bring in next year. If Stoops doesn’t make the line of scrimmage the priority in the transfer portal this year, we could have another Looooonnnnggg season next year. IMO

Look basketball is not where the money is hate to break it to people. Every school wants to really be successful in football, and being an SEC school we're reaping the benefits. I know us common folk think live and die by the basketball program, but Football is what brings in most of the money, and college basketball has been declining in popularity since the mid 2000's, the one and done culture and transfer portal I think will make it even worse, and honestly when it comes to revenue football is king.

Only one basketball program cracked the top 50 in revenue in 2022, and that was Duke at #48. Football is probably more important to the University and Athletic department at UK, Barnhart has to be feeling the pressure.

We are gonna get the sec money regardless. We don't (mostly) pull out weight to earn it. I don't think anyone actually feels basketball is gonna generate more revenue than football almost anywhere.

Yep, and that is what it is all about. Mitch only invested in football once he figured out that the university could make mass amounts of money from it. I really do not think he gives a single crap about whether or not the program is successful beyond doing just enough to keep the money flowing.
