First off, this is not a negative post about Stoops. He’s our coach and I’m
behind him and the team. I hope we have a great offseason and win 8+ games next year.
Having said that, when Stoops decides to go, we WILL be able to get a great replacement. This idea that the program will fall by the wayside is looking at the past and letting it determine the future.
1. We are willing to pay top 10 pay. Good pay for assistant coaches. That in and of itself means we can get a serviceable replacement.
2. We play in the SEC and somebody can do what no other coach has done, make us consistently into a top SEC program similar to what is happening at Ole Miss.
3. Very good facilities. Maybe not the best but much better than when Stoops came. Kudos to CMS for getting that done.
4. Fantastic city and state to raise a family.
5. A great fan base that will fill a stadium and travel.
The only big negative I see would be NIL, and I’m hoping somehow we can figure that out. I think the fact that Kentucky doesn’t have much high school talent is a little overplayed because great recruiters aren’t restricted to state boarders.
