Mediocre hire with an insane buyout

I think it's fair to question the contract extension. The extension makes the buyout if you want to go in a different direction very difficult. I believe his buyout is north of $47 million right now.I don't get the infatuation people have with blaming Barnhart for everything. Stoops was a great hire at the time and has done very well here for the most part. Is the time coming to start thinking about a different direction? Maybe, but blaming Barnhart for Stoops just doesn't make any sense.

Yeah, let's blame the AD for bringing in the most stable and productive football coach in the last 50 years!Mediocre hire with an insane buyout

I don't disagree, but that extension was made after the 2022 season.As stated....
Stoops hire was fine.
1. The insane contract extensions are absurd...and tie our hands but never the other way around
2. WHy after the Texas AM fiasco.....to just say 'ah no problem' come on back good buddy...is typical Mitch.
For some reason, that never really bothered me. Coaches look at ways to advance their career all the time. In college football, TA&M > UK.I was all in for Stoops until that Texas AM stunt last year. Now I really doubt his long term commitment to us
... then, we're screwed, once again. The real problem is in the AD's office.Mediocre hire with an insane buyout

The extension was announced the week we lost at home to Vandy....which was a 7-6 downer of a season....why Mitch rewards coaches for such low bars is part of a problem. He has given out some doozy of a contracts which tie the programs hands to keep evolving.I don't disagree, but that extension was made after the 2022 season.
I don't understand the Mitch hate either. UK football was a small step above IU football when he arrived. It has grown into a upper mid tier SEC program, something many thought not possible. Yeah we've kinda flatlined past few years but that can happen at any program. I figured the masterful replacement of Cal would have cemented his legendary status. Mitch has been the best AD in school history and that won't be changing anytime soon.I don't get the infatuation people have with blaming Barnhart for everything.

Irrational fanhood just cannot except - hey - sometimes the dream ends lolI don't understand the Mitch hate either. UK football was a small step above IU football when he arrived.

How is Cal getting pissed by fan giving him constant crap over his crappy seasons and getting lucky he bails to Arkansas (same thing happened to good Ole Tubby Smith to Minnessota...another Mitch give-a-way contract) have anything to do with masterful Cal replacement?I don't understand the Mitch hate either.
