Petrino>>>>stoops. All day everyday of the week, month, and year. I can't believe we let petrino slip away and instead brought in stoops. I would take leach, petrino and brohm over stoops everyday. And the horrible part is we had a chance at 2 of those 3 coaches, but we picked stoops. Look who came out the winners? WSU and Louisville. We came out the losers. Effing sucks being a UK football fan sometimes (all the time) we never catch a break and when our AD finally had the chance to catch a break. He passes on it. He passes on the 2 coaches I'm almost positive would've turned things around regardless of baggage. I'll take the baggage if it means winning, idgaf how much character our coach has if he can't coach! Baggage+wins>good character+losing. And as far as Sumlin and Strong. They are simply on a whole different level when it comes to in game coaching regardless of their recent struggles. No comparison. Sumlin and strong would coach circles around stoops much like every coach we go up against, especially in the SEC. The coaches in this league make stoops look like a grade school coach.
The comparison of stoops to Sumlin and strong are simply night and day. They have proven themselves. Stoops, well. After 3 years of on the job training with almost no experience on the staff hes been making as many or more (IMO way more) coaching errors than he did his first year here. People keep saying he just needs to learn from his mistakes. But it seems as if he ain't really learning. It looks to me like the more he coaches the more mistakes he makes game to game. Yet people wanna keep saying he just needs to learn from his mistakes and we'll be fine. But from what I've seen (every game as I am a season ticket holder) he hasn't learned a damn thing from any of his mistakes after 3 years. He just keeps finding new innovative ways to make more mistakes than ever before. If you think Sumlin and strong have recently looked no better than stoops as far as coaching. Well.. Then you haven't watched enough UK football this year because those of us who are realistic and watch every game. Realize that there isn't a coach in the nation that makes more mind boggling in game decisions and mistakes than stoops.
It's something like I've never seen before as far as ineptness goes. The decisions stoops makes on a game to game basis is laughable and quite pathetic. The excuses the man comes up with after every game is also equally pathetic (his apologists surprisingly somehow come up with more excuses than even he does, gotta be some sort of world record for excuses) saying things such as "if that questionable at best, atrocious play call worked then everyone would be calling us geniuses and gutsy". There's a reason the play call was atrocious regardless of if it worked or not dumbass. He's simply just way in over his head. The man can't coach, he doesn't make adjustments. His abilities and qualities start and end with recruiting. Outside of recruiting he's as bad of a head coach the game has ever seen at this level (I swear I'm not exaggerating either I know I sound like a disgruntled fan but it's the gods honest truth, he's the worst in game coach I've ever seen, there's not even a close 2nd, the realistic non homer fans who actually believe what their eyes are seeing will for the most part all agree, the homers on the other hand will call you a troll UL fan for being honest about stoops). You just haven't watched enough UK football games and post game excuse conferences to truly know how inept of an in game head coach he truly is. It's bad man, his coaching abilities are pathetic at best.
