U of L Game at 3:00 pm
- Thread starter The-Hack
- Start date
Probably miss the entire first quarter due a women's soccer game between Vanderbilt and Mississippi State going into double overtime.
Playing golf and might watch recording. Done with giving these coaches huge increases and more years for being mediocre. Mitch has failed with the two main coaches. Unreal.
Some of you have much better memories than me - I can't seem to recall the years when Kentucky high school football was filled with abundant 5* and 4* talent that could not wait to get an offer to play football for UK; or when UK consistently won 10+ games with an occasional down year where they only won 7-8 games, and demanded the coach be fired for only winning 6-7 games after having to replace key coaches, rebuild a new OL (with a new coach), and then have critical injuries on the O & D, and a star player suspended a third of the season. To receive that kind of contract increase, it's very evident CMS was on the verge of accepting an offer to a big time school that would pay that kind of money, with a far more lucrative recruiting base and opportunity to win it all. While this has been a disappointing season for many reasons, this is the down year. If the fan base does not sink the ship, and assuming we don't experience similar injuries next year, things should be much better. The calls to replace CMS with Liam Coen are insane; he has zero head coaching experience, and only one year as a semi-successful o-coordinator (remember UTC?). And where would his recruiting base come from? Cali, or maybe Connecticut? You think the "Big Dog" and BWhite would not go with CMS? While I'm not crazy about paying coaches that kind of money, that is what it will take to remain competitive in college athletics. I think the AD & admin demonstrated a lot of foresight in retaining the most successful head FB coach in the school's history. Without doing so, there's a very good chance UK returns to the consistent 2-4 win seasons, with an occasional 6-7 win season and chance for a bowl game. I, for one, don't miss those years.
Since SEC network was launched ALT channel was fired up exactly 1 time to carry one of our games that was being overlapped. Every other time I’ve had it in there it just plays the banner thing over and over.
If Stoops has won more football games than any other Kentucky coach, including 4 bowl games straight, how is that a failure? Your definition of failure sure is strange.
It speaks to the ineptitude of UK football for decades that he is the best we have had since the Bear. Winning glorified exhibition no one cares bowl games isn't the same as winning a New years 6 bowl or the SEC or even the SEC East.
And by that definition, Bear was a failure the majority of his seasons, here.
Being nationally ranked ending ‘18 and ‘21, maintaining a .500 record over seven seasons in an SEC that is the toughest it has ever been, repeatedly beating ranked teams in both the bowls and the regular season . . . all these are signs of progress, success and hope for the future.
That chance has fallen to virtually nothing, now.
