I just read where he said we have had one bad season in the past 8 - That is an outright lie. We have had three bad seasons in a row. the one 10 win season we had we had to forfeit those wins. Its easy to be down right now and to see the cup half empty. I guess I am venting from three days of taking it from Louisville fans in the city that I live in.
Is Vince Marrow as good as we have all thought he was? How many stellar Tight Ends has he developed in the room that he brags about all the time? Granite they have to block due to our porous o line, but still. Over the long haul how many great Tight Ends ends has he developed? He is supposed to be a great recruiter, and i guess you could say that he has been a solid recruiter. on paper, we have had top 30classes alot of years. BUT we are in the SEC, and that still ranks in the bottom four or so. With that said with these recruiting classes most years what have we done with them? Mostly lose to teams in the SEC, and beat the teams that we are supposed to beat. I think he is just a BULL Shat artist mostly... just my opinion..
Many younger fans i hear say that Stoops is the best coach we have ever had. I like Coach Stoops and I think he is a solid football coach.. not great.. just solid. However name me one other coach in our history that has had the money put into the program that he has had? He has gotten almost everything he has asked that other coaches did not get. Coach Brooks teams were far more prepared to play most games than Stoops teams (with far less talent). Could Joker have been better had he gotten the resources and support that Stoops got ( remember the card table in the back of the room for the recruits back then, and the hole in the indoor practice facility that they wouldn't fix for him?) Jerry Claiborne teams played a MUCH harder schedule EVERY year, and his teams never laid down like we saw Saturday. I think Joker was in over his head, but i am just making a point that Coach Stoops has gotten everything that he has asked for. Still we have to listen to him bitch about his job being hard!
I give this staff a less than 5% chance of turning this thing around. No other team in the SEC would put up with these results. Perhaps Vandy would, but even they have gotten really serious about winning. We are going to give this staff one more year to turn this around. We are going to go 3-9 or 4-8 next year, get our arses handed to us by UL again and then make a change. Same ol Mitch too far behind the curve to be aggressive when he needs to be. We will most likely miss out on Jon Sumrall, and im sure Mitch will make a good , nice conservatives hire that will keep us in the bottom half of the SEC. We love spending that SEC revenue every year, but wont play like the big boys do when a change is needed. If we dont have the 40plus million to buy these guys out then maybe we are not allocating our money we are making each year wisely. NO OTHER sec team would allow their program to falter like this without doing everything they could to turn it around. Stoops aint turning this around. We all know it...
sorry for the rant.. i am angry about something i dearly love.
