3 steps on how to rebuild a broken football program:

1. Hire a big time AD that cares about football and knows what he is doing in regards to the #1 cash cow sport
2. Hire an experienced coach like Brooks to dig out of the depths and make the program fundamentally sound.
3. Hand the keys over to a big time, experienced HC who has proven he can both coach and recruit!

Even though we lucked into #2 while skipping over step #1, we still managed to drop the ball on step # 3 with Joker. Not firing Barnhart after Joker, we skipped step #1 yet again, making step #2 a question mark that appears to have not panned out. Folks, if something is not done, mark my words, we will be back to the drawing board yet again w an all out rebuild, and frankly, the paying fans will not put up with it. Either i am wrong and stoops saves the program, or we may have seen the last hope for UK football flame out. Whatever the case, barnhart has def put us " all in" with mark stoops, and it appears we have 2, 7 unsuited, while our opponents have pocket pairs, working on full houses!

Agreed. There is little point in firing Stoops and letting Mitch make the call once again. He's proven football contacts/coaches aren't his forte...we need a new direction in AD before I worry about Stoops to me.
