Word on the street florida st wants stoops

[UKBrassowTipIN]

A school that's it an absolute free fall isn't hiring a coach that's going to finish last in the SEC

Word on the other street is they want to put Stoops in the swamp to feed the local wildlife.

Why has UT, SC, Fla, Aub, Tx, and a list of others had a 75% failure rate of doing the very thing you want UK to do?

Do you think UK will have better success bringing in new coaches than these other SEC programs.

BTW - I do believe programs reach a point where they have to make a change. But, it should be UK’s last option and not the first option.

You give your often repeated definition of insanity, but what you describe is exactly what these other programs have previously shown does not always work.

Here’s where we probably agree. Being a good football coach is different than building a football program. There are LOTS of excellent coaches. However, I think there are much fewer coaches who can build a program. It requires so many more qualities than just coaching.

Hell, I think Florida St. beats us pretty good if we played them right now.

Kentucky has scheduled a Board meeting for Sunday morning at 9 am per @Pete Thamel. Could this be the end of the Stoops era in Lexington?

I think Cal could have had the UCLA job if he wanted it. Instead, he used it to leverage a new contract at UK.

A wise coach once said, “It’s better to leave before they want you to leave than when they do want you to leave.” Cal would be idolized here if he took the UCLA job. Likewise, imagine how many people complaining about Stoops would be singing his praises today if he would have taken another job before this year! We’ll have to see how his tenure ends. I hope (for him and for UK football) that he gets the program back on solid ground, then makes a transition. However, few coaches get to leave the way they want to leave.

I doubt UK fans would idolizes If he went to UCLA. He would be compared to Pitino.

How in Heavn's name can you or us as a fan base continue after 11.5 years, want a coach that you admit has reached his ceiling and has a horrible SEC record and be someone you still support and want to continue to lead our football program. How can you think doing the same thing over and over is going to give our program different results. It is just insane thinking. Your thoughts are an example of arguing with an idiot because you will just drag us down and beat us with experience. We need to step up and get a modern thinking football coach. If we fail we can't be much worse than were we currently are as a program. We are NOT SEC competitive now!

If you fail you fire that one and get next man up. This coach with little responsibility is not real world. Being nice to coaches is a no won situation

I’m going to say that it’s fake, I really doubt that the board had a secret meeting this morning. Nothing they are going to do today that they can’t tomorrow regarding the issues.

And only sign them to a 3 year contract at a time

 

[MrHotDice]

It's not failure but it's the next man up. If the one you hire fails fire him and hire the next one. These ADs that give these multi-year contracts need to be shown the door as well. Send them down the road counting mailboxes my daddy used to say.1

I’m a huge Stoops fan … but also acknowledge the program has platued, or even trending in the wrong direction. History reveals that Stoops has accomplished what many/most football experts thought was impossible, while also declining the last couple of seasons. Both facts can be correct.

The biggest question is what is best for UK football moving ahead. This topic probably deserves its own post, but I’ll throw out a couple thoughts. First, people are naturally against the incumbent in many arenas and coaches are no different. (Research anti incumbency bias) Claiborne, Curry, and Brooks were excellent football minds who could not consistently accomplish what Stoops has accomplished at UK. (Throw the multitude of excuses in the garbage. UK will always have several disadvantages. It ultimately comes down to wins/losses.) Fans who think top young coaches will line up for the UK job and automatically improve UK football are wearing blue tinted glasses and are ignoring both HISTORY and PRESENT DAY reality.
Second - Fla, UT, SC, Aub, etc … have much richer football history and several other recruiting advantages over UK. How has the coaching carousel worked for them??? Those jobs are more desirable than UK. Fla is getting ready to fire their 3rd coach in 10 years. UT went through Dooley, Jones and Pruitt in less than 10 years. Auburn was paying 3 head coaches and are close to adding a 4th one to the list while they still flounder around. Bottom line - hiring a new coach is a role of the dice with less than 25% of them lasting more than 3 years! And, this is at programs who have some history of winning!

I ignore the “fire Stoops” posts and realize most of them are emotional posts with no real logical thoughts about the program.

Stoops has proven he has a plan for recruiting that is working. Again, he has improved the program in ways that many experts did not think was possible. He’s definitely going to get another year unless he personally walks away. He’s earned the right for another year. However, the program is trending in the wrong direction. UK MUST improve and win more games. I don’t know the magic number of wins next year, but I know the losses can’t look as bad as the games against SC, Vandy, and Fla. It’s one thing to compete and lose against likely playoff teams. However, we can’t look as inept as we have in some of our bad losses.

I’m pro-Stoops, but he’s got to right the ship.

Stoops better find him a floating deck chair cause he now on the Titanic surrounded by icebergs
