At this pace, how long can we expect to keep Stein?

Build a bigger stadium? 6 wins in? Man I am excited too but come on lol
We 100% need more seats. This stadium is too small if you’re going to win in the SEC. Barnhart was stupid for removing seats and not upgrading them. All other sec programs make it as big as possible but UK. And it shows you that Barnhart had no ambitions to make winning such a priority that we’d ever need more capacity.

One of the first thing stein will want is upgrades to the stadium and capacity. Watch.

I think Stein wants to make his legacy here at UK. The guy says, "Go Cats," concluded his interviews. This is home. Stein shares a cool bond with his Dad through the program.
So long as the University provides resources I think he sticks around.

Troll invitation thread for a football team that is #15 and 5-1 with two SEC road wins and 2 top 10
Haha, y’all are living in fantasy land if you don’t think Stein would leave UK for a Texas, Michigan, Ohio St., type job!

NIL is the new sheriff in town, and if Calipari can get more BB NIL than UK at a place like Arkansas, then Stein would salivate at the prospect of getting the NIL backing of a program like those aforementioned 3 (and several others)!

Put another way… Would any of you stay in Cincinnati with the Reds, if the Yankees or Dodgers came calling? Absolutely NOT, you wouldn’t!
It depends. Did I grow up a Reds fan? Did my dad play for the Reds? Am I from the Cincinnati area? Can I win with the Reds? Am I paid very well to coach the Reds?

How much capacity? I saw someone talking about comparable to top SEC schools, and we can't fill a 100K seat stadium consistently

You don't know that. We just sold out against a garbage bin Vandy team. Build it and they will come, just win.

LMAO. An extra 40K a night? And what about when Stein leaves in a couple of years?
We are long overdue a new stadium, but people are going way overboard right now

It’s a new era. You only leave if you think you won’t have the resources to win. Clark Lea could have left for PennState last year or some other job that is traditionally much better than Vandy, but he instead signed an extension and told his potential suitors to look elsewhere. Cignetti is another example. You don’t have to move to another school, so long as the one you are at will resource your goals.
