Will Stein - build the statue

[MidseasonTweak]

Top 10 UK loading....


Will Stein is a baddddddddd man

 

[Bluegrass79]

#1 in the league by ourselves!


Literally this is the craziest moment for me so far....
#1 .....

 

[kywildcat1021979]

#1 in the SEC!!!!

 

[theBlues]

A great and imaginative offense and they just held an SEC team to 15 yards rushing.

 

[SECualHealing]

Since Pope has no clue what he’s doing with the NIL money. Can‘t we just give it to Stein?

If Stein had a properly allocated NIL fund like other sec football schools he would be unstoppable.

Back up the ******* brincks truck for this guy.

Stein is pretty good, but the verdict is still out if he is as good as Sweetland. Sweetland's team beat the Old Hickory Bandersnatches 9-4 to go to the Franklin Stove bowl in Philadelphia, PA.

 

[Snarks]

But people say Pope needs more time, lol

I know that's sarcasm, but that stat is wild to me....he's off to a better start than even the one of the GOATs.

This is the year to crap or get off the pot. NIL has changed things. If you can't make a shot at a title in 3 years at any P5/P6 program......you aint it.

You can’t look at how much success Stein is having on the field and recruiting with one of the worst budgets in the SEC and say Pope is doing a good job with one of the highest NIL packages in the country. Stein is currently first in the SEC and Pope has never finished higher than 6th while being preseason 7th this year.

 

[Snarks]

This is getting more impressive than Cignettis first year. That year, IU played 1 ranked team and lost by 20.

More slapstick than sarcasm. Stein is a transcendent hire and coach. I'm loving this season!

Wow, without Sam Greene too. This defense bends but doesn’t break. The forced turnovers are not luck at this point.

 

[Catastic5]

Cignetti brought over much of his 11-1 JMU team from the previous year with them. And much of that team was filled with Covid-era super seniors who helped lead him to the title.

now let's give that performance in Knoxville.....

How long is he out? Hopefully its not season ending .

 

[Snarks]

Defense has to be better at getting off the field on 3rd downs. That’s my only real complaint. But, they pull through when it counts!

Yup give him all the NIL funds he wants.

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

Exactly. We need to convert some long 3rd downs and stop 3rd downs ourselves. Do that and it’s really on.

 

[CW]

How long is he out? Hopefully it season ending .

I’m too far deep in the bourbon to be reliable at this point, but I thought I had heard in some of the pregame shows that he was out but was expected to be back eventually. Not season ending. Don’t quote me on that though.

 

[Dead Cat Bounce]

Wow, without Sam Greene too. This defense bends but doesn’t break. The forced turnovers are not luck at this point.

The bending is so hard to watch though. I hope in coming seasons our defense can get to the point where opponents just wanna give up on 3rd and long.

 

[kywildcat1021979]

But people say Pope needs more time, lol

11 + years with a winning percentage of like 62% yea time isn’t what he needs…

True, but if before the game I told you we’d hold Vandy to FIFTEEN rushing yards, 260 yards total, and also turn them over twice, everyone would have taken that in a heartbeat. That’s a solid performance.

Fair enough.

No doubt, it wasn’t perfect and we need to start getting more 3rd down stops but we again came away with key take aways and put the clamps down after the second quarter.

Can't remember where I read it , but said he didnt have a tear or anything. Was dealing with a sprain and should be good to go after bye week.

If Stein had a properly allocated NIL fund like other sec football schools he would be unstoppable.

If the administration has any clue, they would correct this immediately if not sooner.

The way Pope is going UK will be a football school just like IU!

I don't want to become a football school by having basketball suck. I just wanna strong football team and subsequent successful sports program.

Yep Cignetti is extremely overrated. Put him
in the SEC and he goes 5-7 with an occasional 7-5

Cignetti beat SEC runner up Bama 38-3 in rose bowl

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

Before building this statue I'd like to see a few more years of this lol.

No disrepect to what's been done but Stein is only going to cement his legacy here if he can follow this season up with similar type seasons.

I'm extremely excited to see if he can and the future of this program tho.

One of the worst takes ever produced on this board.

 

[UKCowboys]

Which is why Texas and their $50M football NIL budget shouldn't be shrugged off...

That’s a laughable take.

This leaves out the two blatant PIs we didn’t get and that we could have easily scored again at the end.
