The bottom line for me is, if I could hand Stoops the most talented team in the country, I think he'd find a way to lose 2-4 games with it. I don't trust that fixing NIL is the answer to make all things better with Stoops. He's not going to change who he is as a coach, which is a conservative, defensive, run the ball, control the clock coach. He's never going to have more than an average passing attack no matter who the OCs, QBs, WRs or TEs are.
He also no longer has the benefit of playing in a weak SEC East. UGA has been a beast, UT is back near the top again, Florida is getting better, USCjr and Mizzou have passed UK, hell, even Vandy is better. Anyone that thinks Stoops will do better than 7-5 going forward even with a pretty talented roster is kidding themselves. It makes me sick that we are stuck with this guy. Thanks Mitch!
