And there will be….Maybe Mitch will give him an afterlife contract to feed Stoops seed for decades to come!
Please don't go there. We don't need another coach with a lifetime contract and no incentive to perform.
Im 56 yrs old next month and Ive been waiting for a potential season like this since I was 14-15 yrs old! Thats 40 plus years!!!
Shouldn't we wait until he actually wins something of relevance? I get he has improved the program by a lot, but the man has been here 10 years and we still haven't even made an SEC title game yet. Let alone an NY6 or playoff. Putting up statutes just because he took us from bottom feeder to middle of the pack is a little bush league.
Instead of a statues they should start using inflatable likenesses. Then if things go sower like a Joe Pa they can just let the air out.
He is number 1 because he has been here the longest. Bryant accomplished his wins in 8 seasons. So that stat is pretty meaningless. We are barely above .500 under Stoops and have a .400 conference record under him. I do expect both to improve the longer he stays, but what about that is deserving of a statue? Hell, his biggest win to date is against a decent Iowa team who was sitting out half their players. Again, why would that be worthy of a statue? Volleyball, Track and Field, Rifle, Basketball, and Cheerleading have all won or contended for titles in that same time frame. I wouldn't give their coaches statues either. I would not give Kyra Elzy one for winning the SEC championship either. It's very bush league. Call me when they win multiple championships and are considered among the all-time greats in their respective sports. Then we can talk about statues.
Who is the "Slickster"?
Multiple reasons Stoops deserves one:
He has the most wins simply because he has been here the longest. Bryant accomplished essentially the same in 8 years.
UK not winning more than 4 SEC games in a season had stood since 1977 when Stoops and UK won 5 SEC games in 2018. UK hadn't defeated the Gators in back to back seasons in 45 yrs (circa 1976-77) until last Sat.!

Looks like you are going to be a sunshine poster. Before Stoops got here we went to Arkansas and had a weather delay and the team quit. They said they were hungry. That is like rock bottom for a team to quit. Before stoops it had been years since we won a SEC road game. UK FB has come a LONG way from quitting games. Hope he never leaves!!
So much wrong with this spin. Joker truly left the cupboard bare of P5 talent. Mark has won 10 games twice in the past 4 seasons, both ending with NY day bowl victories over B1G teams. Bear was awesome, but college football is much bigger today with so many better HCs and programs. Think about when Bear was at UK and consider how many coaches have been here since. Stoops is a legend. No trolling can take that away. And, he is not done.
At least lower teams don’t say “THEY SPOSE TO BE SEC”. I think those days are over for some time!!
He is number one because he’s turned this program into a winner. Stoops took over a dumpster fire that had less than Sun Belt talent.
And from the ground up I might add.
That's setting the bar too high, though doing it now might be setting it too low. If he wins so much as a single SEC title, he deserves a statue while still on the sideline. Get us to a couple of NY6 bowls and Atlanta a couple more, and even without a title, he'll deserve a statue at retirement, particularly if his entire HC career is in Lexington. 🤞
You should consider changing your screen name to Buzz Killington
And who is your team?
I for one could give two squeezes for what Cal's done. Cal will build a statue to himself someday.
He signed up today and has 4 post. Troll job if there ever was one
