Stoops put himself on an island...

Despite what you hear on KSR, all is not kosher in the football offices
Stoops has fought Barnhart over NIL. Cal has too. Both believe he is not committed to winning in this new environment with his attitude. Just like big Z. 90% of everyone would have sued or played him anyway. You think Kansas gonna wait on a ruling. You dreaming.
I’m not as plugged in as Cal. He just said in his last press conference that he hopes we get more aggressive in that situation like other places have. Which means a lawsuit like the ones that just stopped the one time transfer rule they tried to implement. The one that started NIL. The ones that Northwestern filed. Right now I saw estimated they have 50 lawsuits against them. That tough enough?? I thought that was general knowledge??
Well Coen wants out, he didn’t come back to call 55 plays a game
I dont blame him a bit and neither should any fan
When the Head Coach wanted to go to TAM, all loyalty went out window
Don't see it that way. Had Stoops taken the TAM job he could've taken Coen with him at #2M/year OR Coen could've been offered the UK HC job. Stoops to TAM could've been a big plus for Coen, not a negative.
Please stop with this nonsesnse on plays per game.
Coen is the reason we run the freaking play clock to damn near zero every play with shifts, motions, etc... to the 1-2 second play clock nearly every snap. If you turn on any Chiefs, Bills, Rams, Miami,e tc... NFL game....this is exactly what UK did last year....and it's all Coen. We never did this under Gran/Stoops. (not saying going to back to Gran is the anwer).
But can we please stop 1) having such a hard on for plays per game stat.....it's rather meaningless to me...it's about scoring or not aloing with turnovers or not. 2) And if you're fixated upon plays per game....it's Coen's design...not Stoops meddling that is why is't happening.
Guys Stoops and LC are going to be candidates for multiple jobs every year. Just the way it is.
Now the seriousness of their candidacy for any job is debatable. It's just a numbers game. The pool of guys who can coach at a D1 level is small.
We all knew what we were getting into with LC. He's next up, CFB and league. Unless CMS retired young, and LC was named HCIW, then he was always going to take a bigger gig, most likely NFL.
The only way LC sticks around much more than another year or two is if MB makes him highest paid coordinator and CMS gives him assistant HC title. Even then, if CMS isn't going to retire in the relative near future, LC isn't hanging around, his coaching roots/DNA is hot now. Another 5 years or so, it'll be another coaching tree/style/philosophy that takes off.

I see it as a false equivalence to compare loyalty to employer and loyalty to family. One is conditional loyalty and the other is unconditional loyalty.
I'm loyal to my family regardless of anything. I'm loyal to my employer if they treat me well and no one else would treat me better relatively. I don't see how it's a useful comparison, personally.
I bet Saban didn't stay up all night drinking after beating Auburn or UGA........lol
Loyalty and honor are concepts that don't apply to "at will" employment contracts. Loyalty is relative to friendships and brotherhood/family. Honor is military code often used to manipulate initiates and naive prospects outside of the military, when the truth is they can be cast aside by those in positions of power without a 2nd thought. Honor or loyalty is personal and/or subjective.
Loyalty and honor are terms used by management when you're winning and sought after to get you to stay.
Lose a few games, even with a national title on your resume, and loyalty and honor are the last things you'll hear mentioned by management.
Ask Chip Kelly what his thoughts are on plays per game. He has plenty of BCS and championship game experience.
It only make mathematical sense that the more plays you run in a game, the greater number of scoring opportunities you have and the more you will score.
Yes, it gives your opponent more opportunities as well. That is what your defense is for.
I would say more possessions more scores. Running 90 plays on 6 possessions is the same scoring opportunity as 50 plays on 6 possessions.

It was what it was. Get behind the man and hope for a good season. I believe we'll have one.
Fourth most wins in SEC since 2018, Fourteen wins over ranked teams, three bowl wins over ranked teams, two-thirds of warm-weather bowls in program history, the only winning seasons in SEC play the last 47 seasons . . . .

Have any of you seen the CBS sports article on how Ohio state football players earned 20-million in nil last year?
What territory is Stoops known to have a strong recruiting base? Oh I o.
College football has changed forever and if players aren’t getting paid they by your school they will go somewhere else.
You can say goodbye to getting recruits like Walker and Brown in the future.
A lot of programs have hired a GM type person to run the NIL program but Kentucky isn’t one of them. I believe this is the purpose of Stoops comments is that UK needs to hire someone to be our GM for NIL.

Our longest winning streak against UF in 71 years . . . .
Our only victories against UT in 44 years . . . .
Our only nationally ranked post season teams in 40 years . . . .
Our first (and second) victories on New Year’s Day in 72 years.

Stoops is.
I do not care who you get for a coach, all have good and bad. Stoops has got butts in seats, Stoops has won more than all others (less Curci for 3 years) or a couple of good years for the Bear.
I like Stoops on defense side of the ball. I hate game day prep as our sidelines look like a Chinese fire drill and plays get in late, odd time outs and things like that. He has cleaned this up some but it still today rears its ugly head. Stoops gets so busy ripping an official that he forgets what it happening on the field.
Stoops offense (minus 1 year under Gran and 1 for Coen) have left tons to be desired.
All that said, I am excited each and every summer, waiting on fall football. I always expect the team to be better but am usually defeated by play on the field. I do not care. I love UK Football, did even when we stunk. It is much nicer enjoying our team now good and bad years as our floor is much higher than it used to be. Our floor for many years was the basement 0-10 / 2-10 and now we have had 1 5-7, 6-7 and the rest are better (less the covid year). Stoops first couple of years was hard but man he had so much to bring in to start this process.
I AM READY FOR FOOTBALL. I will be each will till the season is over. I know we will have good and bad and I hope the good far outweighs the bad.

On poster couldn't let it stay on page 3. He/she/it couldn't take it.
While we keep this at the top during our last week of preseason, let us ask the eternal question!
Ginger or Mary Ann?
