What was up with Mark Stoops...
- Thread starter fedxdog
- Start date
It was around that hit on Johnson that looked like our “targeting” call earlier. Stoops looked like his body was so inflated that he was about to burst. It was like he was trying to walk while wearing a fat suit
Post game
He let his team know that he was not at all happy with their effort.
And I think in the 4 qtr he started letting that be know.

While Dillon Johnson was lying on the ground hurt, he was over there crying and yelling for the refs to review the play because he thought DJ fumbled on the play.
It was a bad look.
On that play Matt got pissed at Stoops, rightfully so, for bringing his “red-faced Fanny” onto the field and “pitch his hissy fit ten yards away from our injured player” said that was the “most classless thing he’s seen from an SEC coach in a while” and I agree 100%. Matt thought he was arguing that DJ fumbled and that UK should’ve gotten credit for the recovery.
Later in the final wrap-up he clarified that was his thinking. I thought at the time it was pretty obvious and thought he showed restraint. My language might’ve been more colorful. No way should a coach argue or chastise his team on the field close to an injured player before anyone’s even checking on him. He could’ve kept his *** on the sidelines and argued/chastised once DJ had care, or just stayed off the field like he’s supposed to do regardless of what he was doing. If he’s coming on the field in the area of an injury he should’ve checked on the player first. That was very classless, and prolly exactly why we didn’t take a knee at the end.

Stoops reminds me of baron Harkonnen from Dune (Lynch 84ish).

Not to mention there was targeting on that play. Can't remember if they called it or not, I don't think they did.
Pretty sure there was only one targeting call in the game and it was against us, very early in the game.
