Yes or no: Does Stoops donate some of his Nine Million to NIL as other coaches have done ?

[Grumpyolddawg]

There are a lot of classless jerks, some who consider themselves Christian, on this forum with personal attacks on the coach. They should be ashamed of themselves but they won't be. People tell you what they're really like sometimes.

When they're this bitter and jealous of a coach that is clearly struggling, you have to wonder what kind of life they live. One called him a drunk, and it's not a big stretch to think that some supporting that comment drink enough that they shouldn't make any comments

I realize I post here a good bit, some don't like it much and some tolerate me and a few seem to enjoy football talk. But making personal attacks against the coaches is never good. CMS is trying to win games, but so are the coaches at the other schools. 24 was a disappointment, bit it was a new era in the SEC, schedules weren't equal, UK had 3 playoff teams and 3 more that thought they should have been. That's a pretty tough road to travel. If the fans want a change go through the right channels and demand a change.

I heard through the grapevine that he was going to donate half of his first monthly check when he started coaching back when he started coaching... So I think that comes out to about $200.00....

"Calipari clearly has contempt for the Kentucky fan base and the university. After collecting nine million dollars for one good win and for coaching a team that was ill-prepared, undisciplined and sluggish game after game, his response to the fans was basically, "get a life. You don't understand what you are talking about."


If he really wanted to turn this thing around, he'd first of all be on a full-time campaign to show the fans he hated losing as much as anyone, that he was humiliated by the product he put on the court, and that he'd do anything, including accepting a pay cut and putting some of his stolen salary back into the university.


Instead, it has been the same old condescending used car salesman talking about how "we will fix this" without showing any energy or humility or passion that would make anyone believe that will happen.


So, no. He apparently thinks his job is to put people into the NBA regardless of the product on the court between trips to the bank."

Fify.

Where was this back when CAL was actually doing this? Not a peep about it from you. Is that why you're so overly emotional here right now? Are you projecting onto Stoops the traits that were clear in Cal but which you ignored?

If you think he hasn't taken responsibility and doesn't hate losing. Isn't working hard trying to fix it, you're only seeing what you want to see, just like so many others, including those that NEVER supported him as HC here. I know you're more into basketball, so I don't take these comments from you that seriously. But it's time for Cat fans to look in the mirror with regard to football and ask themselves if they are being at all objective.

We sucked this year. He needs massive change to fix it. He'll be gone if he doesn't. He's not denying any of that. But NO football coach is going to cry and beg you for forgiveness for our first team not to make a bowl game in 9 years.

If yall had this passion when Cal was dragging ask for the past 3+ years, I'd not say a word about the ankle biting. After seeing this same anger and angst from basketball failure taken out on the football program for over 25 years, it's easy to recognize. It's still the same old Kentucky in that regard. The sky is always about to fall or falling, just like it was in 2018 when we struggled with CMU and lost at TA&M.

Cal didn’t need to pony up. He was still getting the beat of the heat compared to others.

He would need an NIL to buy a coaches brain, not players.
