Time for Barney to resign.

You have no desire because you’re talking out of your ass repeating ignorant BS you got from Matt Jones and his minions. Specifically what is JMI doing? Oh that’s right, you can’t say. Y’all can never actually say. Just clueless sheep forwarding a narrative that hurts UK.
Sure pal whatever you say. They weren’t ranked like you said, the contract has been discussed extensively, and I don't listen to Matt Jones, nor have I ever. Other than everything you said being wrong, we pretty much agree on the rest. I changed my post because I’m trying to be a better person. Having said the next time you wanna try to check another poster you might wanna actually use accurate facts instead of talking out of your ass.

Yeah the football program and it’s back to back classes ever is falling apart. LOL at the joke you clueless clowns are. Ext time you want to disparage the program know what you’re talking about. You’re 100% talking out of your ass and that’s why you couldn’t explain your JMI comments. KSR cult member.

Who considers him to be one of the best?
Who you hiring to replace him...none of you have yet to name an AD who has never made a bad hire, only perfect ones and every team has never been down. I know you guys think Richie Farmer will get it done tho.

Still curious tho, bc this is never answered either...is he called an athletic director...or "the one sport I like" director? And don't give me the "well look at the money generating teams"...you guys hate money in sports, or is that just when a kid makes it?

Where in that short post that I made in March did I say that I wanted him to lose his job?
 
You can say what you want but if you think we are matching the top teams in the SEC and you wanna deny JMI contracts are gendering UK because of the work CMS is doing go ahead. I have no desire to argue with the blind.

Thanks to Stoops volunteering for the job. AND thanks to the other SEC schools that pushed the MONEY COW, one thing for sure UKs FIVE years in a row without a bowl game did nothing to help the flood of money from the OTHER SEC schools that did support football. Neither did the loss of 15 to 20 thousand season ticket holders AND a lot of their donations.

Does anyone else remember the city college recruits making fun of UKs football facilities? Before the flood of money from the OTHER SEC football programs rescued us.

It takes MONEY to run a successful football program, and the NON-revenue sports aren't where its at. Can you come up with a wild guess at how much money football lost with losing all those season ticket holders AND their donations, not to mention the FIVE years in a row without a bowl game. The OTHER SEC football programs rescued us.
 
Too stupid to know how bonding works. He know UKs bonding capacity was used on the hospital, everyone knows it. This clown still chooses to lie. He thinks the primary goal of the University of Kentucky is athletics to the point that athletic facilities should come before a hospital that serves an entire region. Oh and LOL at extortion. This clueless goof is unhinged.
He had plenty of money for his chase of the Director's Cup. Also known as the NON-revenue sports. Did you read the Wall Street article from a few years ago that estimated Bama's football program was worth a BILLION dollars------and UK's was worth about $300M?
The football team is getting screwed to the tune of having the most 4 star players on roster of any team in history since ranking players were a thing. A top 10 class in 2022 and a top 25 class with 9 4 star players in 2023 the 2 NIL years while also killing it in the portal. Yup the team that just had its best back to back classes ever is getting screwed by NIL.

Nothing is more important than their BS narrative. No matter how many studs we sign or pull from the portal, “NIL is killing us”.
Thanks to the deluge of money from the OTHER SEC schools that did support the money cow and
Stoops volunteering for the job.. His first DECADE of doing NO improvements for football facilities (Name one, and replacing the dangerous turf on a practice field doesn't qualify) is the direct cause of the TWO two win seasons AND the five years in a row with no bowl games. The OTHER SEC football programs that supported the money cow AND Stoops volunteering for the job saved our athletic program. NOT the five years in a row with no bowl games. How much is mitch paying you anyway?

Other SEC schools were giving us money now. Oh and Stoops volunteered for the job? Well
Maybe you should volunteer to be AD since that’s how it works. I think I’m gonna volunteer to be the basketball coach. Imagine being this clueless.

Rifle teams shoots in a damn broom closet, Volleyball Gymnastics and women basketball plays Memorial which built in 1950 and I guess they did replace the 50 year old floor in 2000s but where was all this money spent? You can’t say because you’re lying. Wait my bad, gotta be PC on here because calling people who lie liars upsets people on this messsage board. You can’t say.

You look ridiculous when you post this ignorant BS in every thread.

People lying upset me. Why are you OK with people lying and degrading UK. You always come back with ignorant you work for UK or JMI BS. Why are y’all so vested in defending liars who try to tear down the program.

Imagine being OK with lying.

I don’t recall ever saying anything like that to you. I was just asking if you did. I could tell you were upset and just thought I would ask. Sounds like you’re too sensitive to be posting on a sports message board.

You came at me with your lame you seem upset message board BS. Spare me the act. I don’t work for UK, I don’t work for JMI, I don’t like liars who make up lies and degrade our program. You seem to be OK with it. More upset with the person calling the liar out than you are with the liar.

I’m not at all mad. if I had something to say to you I wouldn’t have been that nice about it. I haven’t kept up with what Mitch does or doesn’t do, so I can’t comment on it. Like I said, you’re being overly sensitive for some reason.

You haven’t kept up with what Mitch does or doesn’t do but felt comfortable saying he screwed football with NIL. OK.

I’m sensitive about people making up stuff to attack our program. We have it hard enough as it is with all the advantages other programs we compete against have had over us for the last 60 years, now we also have to deal with our own fanbase promoting false narratives that hurt our program. Basically negative recruiting our own school. Promoting the idea that we don’t support NIL. Some promote the idea that we have mid major facilities, neither are true. The guy that started the latest NIL thread on the football board is promoting that we’re in second to last in the SEC in NIL when no one really knows how much any collective has or player gets paid. I just don’t get why a UK fan would go there.

I’ve never said Mitch screwed football in NIL, so idk what the heck youre talking about.
 
Should have happened years ago but someone at UK still has to care about our bb program. It does so much for the state and currently the program is at the lowest level it’s been since the 20s. Cal does what he wants with impunity. He does none of it to improve the product on the floor. Surely there are people at UK who understand what these imbeciles are doing to UK bb. Barney has 3 tournament misses and a losing season in his watch. Every 7 years is the rate at which we are missing the tournement. Haven’t beat a p5 team in the ncaa in idk how long. Won our 1st ncaa game in 4 years. Barney has to be fired or we don’t have a serious athletics program. I’m sorry but the best protect their best they stay on top. They don’t sacrifice tradition for badminton final fours. Get this loser and yes he is a loser get him out of Lexington. It is an abomination this guy still makes his home in lex after what he has done to our bb program. Dealing with tubby, hiring Bcg on a napkin contract, extending cal on a lifetime contract while our records fall. This clown has to go. I see today just a bunch of apathy. Last year people were pissed and wanted heads this year they are moving on. Anyone hoping for a rupp exodus it isn’t happening. They have dropped the seating by 5-6000 under cal so it stays mostly full. One family who loves uk tradition gives up season tickets some millenial buys them up. Only way this crap is getting fixed is to bring in an Ad with a spine to deal with cal. There are things that can be done but lazy Mitch doesn’t care about uk basketball. He’s made that clear. No one in the history of our program would have sat and watched this nightmare the last several years without massive change. It’s time for a movement if you ever want UK basketball to be synonymous with greatness again.
All of your assumptions are poorly thought out. Barnhart is director of athletics, not director of basketball. Cal has nearly complete autonomy with the basketball program. I am not a defender of Cal. You are blaming basketball's problems on Barnhart now. but you are one of the same people who gave credit for Cal's hiring to Mike Pratt and not to Cal. So you are anti-Barnhart no matter what. That is your prerogative, but your angry post is not accurate.

Barnhart will be Kentucky's director of athletics until he retires, despite ungrateful fair weather types like you.
 
Didn't know Stoops volunteered for the job. Thought he

Did UK find him or did he find UKr ? Did UK contact him first or did he contact UK? Most coaches weren't interested in taking the job at a school that had NO football facilities improvements for a full decade, which resulted in the TWO OOC nobody wins. With an AD mo

Hard to appreciate an AD that had ZERO improvements for football facilities for a full decade, while the rest of the SEC was loading up for the money cow. We saw the predictable results of that stupidity. Even the nearby city school recruits were making fun of UKs football facilities. And I have been a UK football since I was 6 years old 79 years ago, including a LOT of mediocre (being kind) seasons.

For 87th time you know what the issue was with bonding and the hospital. You know which one took precedence yet you go on and on with your silly BS. We have state of the art facilities and are doing as well as we have in our lifetime still you post first 10 years in every post you make. You also lie about other SEC schools funding our program.
 
I got you confused with the dude you were message board white knighting.
Took you a few days to come up with that bs. Keep whining in this thread saying stupid shit. “UK fans want Tom Jurich”. Lmao you’re an idiot. Idk a single UK fan that has an ounce of respect for Jurich.

You seem confused about a lot of things, in particular the cause of the two football seasons with TWO NOBODY WINS.

And no, Joker couldn't compete in the SEC with schools that AVERAGED 38 four star recruits (and Florida alone had a dozen FIVE stars) the four previous classes (minus Vandy of course) when he had two (JC) four stars playing.

How did a good coach fare at UK with Joker's talent AFTER adding three four stars his first year? The same TWO OOC nobody wins. Then with the fan revolt AND the money from the OTHER SEC schools that did invest in football UK borrowed the money for improving the facilities and signed TEN four stars his second year and Stoops was on his way to some decent seasons.

And our AD became a football hero to a lot of our stupid fans.
 
Bingo. Stoops has built a solid foundation, but the idea that we are playing big boy football is a facade that Mitch helps build with our schedule. We habitually lose to the teams we are competing with on the ladder in the east, even when we have comparable or even better talent. We have 2 total wins against teams who finished with winning records in the SEC during his tenure. He's given 3 consecutive Tennessee coaching staffs momentum building wins when we had a chance to step on their throats and build our own momentum in that series. The man is severly limited as an in game coach, which doesn't help the fact that he's subpar at gameplanning during the week. When this turns sour we are going to be left holding a massive bag, all because Sexton was able to manufacture the idea that he was going somewhere and Mitch takes the bait every single time. We should have let him go and used the foundation he built and the increased resources to hire a coach who wants to do something other than stagnate.
Bull, we don't have better or comparable talent than other teams in the East except Mizzo, and Vandy. In the West we're similar to Ark and Miss St, everyone else out recruits us. If you don't believe it do a little research, the facts are there.

How did they rescue us? Explain your lie.
With the SEC distribution, when UK had lost millions during the FIVE years without a bowl game AND the loss of 15,000 season ticket holders AND most of their donations. Pretty simple IF you don't have an agenda. And yes, I have an agenda, I want to give credit where credit is due and blame where blame is due, and NO improvements for football for his first DECADE of our ADs time on the job was the direct cause of UK becoming the worst football program in the SEC, worse than even Vandy, that still has a little over 40,000 seat stadium. The only SEC school with less seating than UK after our seating was downsized from 67,000 (after UK averaged capacity with a team that finished with a losing record in the SEC) to 61,000.

Thanks for the fan revolt AND the flood of money from the OTHER SEC football programs that did support the MONEY COW. And Stoops coming here wasn't a bad thing either, even though our talent was so depleted that he could only match Jokers TWO OOC nobody win season-----AFTER adding three four stars to our one or two on the roster. And Barker had a great deal to us signing TEN four stars in Stoops second year, when three was the most signed since they started having four stars. And when in Jokers last year some fans thought he should have beat Florida on the road when they had almost fifty four stars and a dozen FIVE stars on their roster.

Incredible facts, looking back on it. Yes, a lot has changed, but hard to imagine where we were at that time.

Sure, losing hundreds of millions by driving football into the ground with NOTHING extra for football for a full DECADE was the really smart thing to do. But I guess we made up for most of that by the NC rifle team and the successful volleyball team. And no, Joker couldn't compete in the SEC with schools that AVERAGED 38 four star recruits (and Florida alone had a dozen FIVE stars) the four previous classes (minus Vandy of course) when he had two (JC) four stars playing.
