G ******* G!!!
First time in history that..Don’t look now but we’re 2-1 in SEC play with two road victories
Why do you feel compelled to bash stoops in this moment? He won big here and built a legit program.Stoops would’ve probably punted.![]()
I'm not getting into it but no he didn't. We set ourselves back by keeping him, said it over and over and it's legitimate. He walked into modern revenue streams and had horrendous offenses. He got a super down SEC and had the east when georgia, florida, and UT were trash. Still couldn't do anything with it. He's an average coach who was gifted a lot of things no coach. Before him did. And we've got 1 citrus bowl no january bowls in a time when Vandy even had one. He was average at best and barnhart made him a staple. It was awful.Why do you feel compelled to bash stoops in this moment? He won big here and built a legit program.
Who cares about kiffin and you do yourself a disservice by hating on stoops. It’s not about whether he was here too long or not. Maybe you aren’t old enough to remember the nightmare UK football was until stoops. We didn’t make a move to the top but stoops broke barriers and exorcised demons that will stein doesn’t have to worry about. That’s called building a program. I think WS will work out to be the next step for us. I can believe we are about to encounter our best stretch of UK fb ever and believe mark stoops did a good job.I'm not getting into it but no he didn't.

Why do you think coaches like Kiffin openly mocked him constantly. Because he wasn't a serious coach in the league. Kentucky has resources what people don't realize is Stoops was holding us back from actually competing on the big stage. We now have a coach to prove that. He should have never been given that last contract. Thanks Barnhart.
But it's fine I don't really think about him, poster just made a funny comment that's true btw. Why get upright over a funny comment on a great night like this. Auburn fans everywhere want Stein as their next coach. I can't wait until they are told who he is and why that's not possible. Florida fans are wondering if they should have hired him too. That's a real coach. Nobody wanted stoops all those years for a reason. Is what it is.
Where’s Mitch when you need himWe have to find a way to keep this guy. If its some updated facilities, or even.. dare I say.. NIL money from the basketball program.. you do it. Will Stein has a bright bright future, and I dont want to see it be with someone else because Kentucky got cheap.

Just seems like when we pay somebody like Mom 6 million...and hes one player for one year...how can you not pay a coach like Stein 10 million or more easily? Obviously I have no clue how it works but simple thinking it's never added up to me.We have to find a way to keep this guy. If its some updated facilities, or even.. dare I say..

Idk the exact numbers, but he was paid top 10 money nationally. IIRC, that’s what it was. I just remember always thinking Stoops was paid top 10 money, without the top 10 results basically lolJust seems like when we pay somebody like Mom 6 million...and hes one player for one year...how can you not pay a coach like Stein 10 million or more easily?

Like when we supposedly offered Hurley that much a year I thought that was pretty normal or maybe even disrespectful for a coach that just won back to back titles.
Not trying to crap on Stoops but wasn't he getting like 9 million a year? And we offered Hurley 10 million a year?
I know I probably got some of the facts and numbers wrong before the rafters police show up. I apologize.
Hate to be that guy, but if Stein stays on course, a top 5 program or a top 5 NFL franchise will poach him within 2-3 years max. Stoops $$$ won’t keep it from happening unfortunately. Let’s just enjoy it while it lastsWe have to find a way to keep this guy. If its some updated facilities, or even.. dare I say.. NIL money from the basketball program.. you do it.

If you were old enough to remember when winning 2 to 4 games a year was the UK average, and old enough to remember losing 73-7 to Florida, and old enough to remember losing to Florida for 31 years straight you would appreciate what Stoops did here. I am not saying he was the guy to get us to the top, but he 100% without a doubt was the guy that laid the foundation for Stein and he was 100% the guy that gave me most of the best UK football memories in my lifetime.I'm not getting into it but no he didn't.
