Didn't Stoops interfere with Dawson's play calling last year?

If I recall...wasn't there some talk about Stoops openly second guessing Dawson's play calling last year and interfering with his game management? Personally, I done with Stoops. He's the common thread here and nothing seems to get ANY better at all on the field. Such a commitment to facilities and this is the best in coaches that we can attract? DJ Eliot is a joke but he's protected by Stoops so Stoops needs to go. Let Gran have this joke of a team and run Stoops and his cronies the hell out of town. The attention needs to shift to Barnhart at this point. Stoops is Barnhart's second absolute failure in a coaching hire, Gillispie was his first. Hell, Barnhart didn't even want to hire Calipari because he was too busy listening to all the haters.

I still think Dawson had to go. For whatever reason he was just not a good fit. Doesn't mean he's not a good OC, doesn't mean UK is hopeless. But not every match is made to last. And since we can't fire the rest of UK, we fired Dawson.

Second guessing? He killed numerous plays that were actually called.

Nothing like firing your inept offense coordinator only to have him come back and put up over 500 yards on YOUR defense.

Stoops may write that in his memoir one day. But he still has time to turn this around. Only a 2-9/3-10 type season will get him fired

Stoops is an overpaid train wreck. Sick of seeing that deer in the headlights look of his at the end of so many games.

Dawson embarrassed Stoops defense tonight. It's time to look at replacing him, Mitch too of he doesn't agree. Enough is enough.

Stoops emotions are his problem. He can't keep them in check, and panics which leads to micromanaging.
It causes the whole team to get tight.

We've seen it happen in games and to end seasons with long losing streaks.
