Either the SEC $$$ or a winning program

You can't have both.

Kentucky is where coaches go to die. Nobody good and established is going to come here unless their only remaining goal is to pad their retirement for 3-5 years and hang it up for good. No hotshot "up-and-commer" is going risk his career by getting his head handed to him here week in week out in the SEC.

The combination of poor geography (edge of the SEC and B10), poor HS football, and a forty year tradition of lousy football in the best conference in the country is a recipe for perpetual failure.

Leave the SEC for an easier schedule to build a wining tradition is the only viable route to eventual success for UK

Will never happen (neither leaving the SEC nor remaining there as a real contender)

How much easier do you want it than Southern Miss at your own place? LOL

Can't leave the SEC!! Where else can we bask in the reflected glory of top teams during FB season while still able to crush weak teams during BB season?

We're not leaving the SEC but we did just lose to a non-P5 FBS team with a first year head coach w/FCS HC experience prior coming in to So Miss. He coached and was a 2x conference champ at Alcorn St. Whenever we coach search in the future, we should be looking at schools like JMU, No Iowa, Villanova, Chas Southern, Coastal Carolina, Liberty, Eastern Washington, Citadel, Richmond and similar schools with proven HCs. The idea that "no one will come to UK" is ridiculous. There are plenty of good FCS HCs who have figured out talent eval, development, game planning, in-game adjustments, etc that would want a SEC gig.
