Winning the east is not an easy task, it’s why we’ve not done it under stoops. He’s a great coach to be happy to win 7-8 games a year but that’s about it.A lot of people in threads recently talking about Stoops being maxed out. That’s fine if you think that but why do you think winning the East will be an easy next step? Who is going to waltz into UK and do much better than Stoops has, especially if you acknowledge that we (UK) have a giant recruiting disadvantage in homegrown talent compared to most any other SEC team?
But his greatest trick is having defeated three ranked bowl opponents, after having played such a weak schedule!!This is how stoops has fooled most of our idiot fan base.
Except when he wins 9-10 games a year.He’s a great coach to be happy to win 7-8 games a year
Baby steps? He's in his 10th year. The program is built. . . For better or worseThe next step isn’t winning the east. Y’all trying to run before you walk. It’s gonna take baby steps. The next step in my mind would be starting and finishing a season ranked. I’ll include a top 15 recruiting class. Those are the next steps. This won’t happen overnight
I guess you want Joker back as coach.Stoops has us to the point where we consistently beat Vandy, Mizzou, SC, UL, MAC teams.
We are 50/50 or so vs Ole Miss, MSST, UF, Arky.
The next step IMO is to add some more wins vs UT, steal one vs Georgia, win a road game in the west.
I don’t see enough in Stoops to get us there. He has done a great job to get us where we are though.
Not.Losing CRod and Will will move us to 6-6 next year I’m afraid. Even if we find a quality QB in the portal, Stoops will be happy with most games passing for less than 200 yards and let the modern game pass is by.
Its just very hard for me , and others I'd expect , to enjoy a game we did win but did is in such a way that most level headed people know if were not for pure luck on that roughing the kicker call on the 2 yard line we prob lose that game ... due to a special teams total system failure that even good high school teams dont have .. we are a SEC team that cant kick a FG . Or get snaps to the holder or punter correct . And this isnt some new occurrence . And the man who has a done a very good job here still has no concept of time management or a vertical passing game . Hell of a defensive coach , solid recruiter . but he''s as far as it gets . We either decide this as good as it gets or take a shot with a younger guy that understands modern offense .This. Today was a disaster in many ways, but a win is a win is a win. Add that it's an SEC road win and we should be happy. We used to lose these types of games. Cherish the wins.
I can agree with you on the special teams aspect. It’s way past time for him to hire a special teams coach.Its just very hard for me , and others I'd expect , to enjoy a game we did win but did is in such a way that most level headed people know if were not for pure luck on that roughing the kicker call on the 2 yard line we prob lose that game ... due to a special teams total system failure that even good high school teams dont have .. we are a SEC team that cant kick a FG .

8-4 is top third of Power 5. While it’s not a great season, it’s still pretty good.8-4 in this era of college football isn't the flex we think it is because we can schedule 3 wins, 4 max. Enough to beat Vandy, Mizzou in SEC, and UL and get a participation trophy bowl. Gotta demand more, and hire better. Jump hard on NIL
Well how many of these idiot supporters have seen a coach in their lifetime that can consistently do this?This is how stoops has fooled most of our idiot fan base. Win games against 3 stinky teams + Vandy + Mizzou + UL + Miss St or USCjr = 7+ wins and a stoops extension. Our fan base is so happy to be mediocre!
Which coach did we win the east under?Winning the east is not an easy task, it’s why we’ve not done it under stoops. He’s a great coach to be happy to win 7-8 games a year but that’s about it.
Woah. You’re giving waaaay too much credit to tenn. They are the entitled brat who has been poor for the last 10 years but just inherited money from a rich uncle.now we have to see if they invest smartly or if they blow the new moneyIf you’re watching the Tennessee-Georgia game then something you need to realize is we are never going to beat those two teams. Whole other league right there. We are not competing with either in the next 25 years
Not so sure after watching Ga and their staff embarrass Tenn
You have terrible reading comprehension.I guess you want Joker back as coach.
I mean it's better than a losing record...but this might be the best roster in UK history and it is disappointing that the best we may do is 8 wins.Any UK fan who complains about being 8-4 is delusional
I hate to say it, but it looks like you may be right. I've been thinking the same thing.It's sad people think there is a next step. This is it man. We aren't winning anything that matters in the sec or nationally.
No, we wouldn'tWe'd have Tennessee record with our players and their staff.
No, we wouldn't
No, we wouldn't
He made a couple crappy hires on offense, it sucks that Will played hurt, the OL can't block, and the OC was a dud when we were this talentedWe damn sure wouldn't have lose to South Carolina and Vanderbilt
At home
We'll never find out if MS doesn't change his offensive philosophyIt's sad people think there is a next step. This is it man. We aren't winning anything that matters in the sec or nationally.
Same can be said with the offense. Get MODERN.I disagree respectfully. We are considered a tough out now. We weren’t before.
Now we need to figure out NIL and hopefully get modern and take the next step.
We can't even be entitled with basketball anymore.I keep saying it. Our fans think they can apply the same entitlement we have with basketball to football. We can’t do that.
MODERN is the most overrated and unimportant term. You can play winning football with any style as long as you have good players that execute. What even is modern? I suppose tenn has a modern offense and they got their shit pushed in by Georgia’s traditional offense. Mississippi state has a modern offense and they got their shit pushed in by stoops.Same can be said with the offense. Get MODERN.
