One thing that's being missed here is that if any of this stuff were true Stoops would be removed immediately, not after the game or next week or at season's end. What this is, is a campaign by some folks to get around paying him the buy out based on a morals clause of some kind. In the mean time UK fans resort to Chinese water torture.
Kaylee.... mmmm mmmm

I hope they go after a bigger name than Kiffin but since Barnhart is making the decisions, Kiffin might be a decent choice.
I havent blamed you guys for deleting anything. I absolutely accepted your explanation on HOB, been down this road myself in much darker times.
And you are correct about the report vs poster. I will edit.
all good, just making sure people are clear on the facts. I have been extremely lenient when it comes to moderating policy over the past year to the point where I have gotten more complaints about "letting stuff go" than I have complaints about posts that 'shouldn't be up'
I don't know whether it's true or not, but I did get a text message from a family member last weekend telling me the exact same thing. I blew it off because he's a UL fan and I thought he was just effing with me. Talked to him this morning and he said he heard it at the country club he's a member of here in Lex. Don't know what it all means but apparently it's been out there for awhile.
The people who run this site do a great job of removing the proper amount of trash and letting other stuff stay. It is a fine line and I think they balance it amazingly.
The fact JRowland just posted in this thread is what makes me believe something must be true. I hope it is not

In all fairness, that incident occurred after a very tough loss.
God I hope not. The last thing UK needs is the train wreck looking for a place to happen that is Lane Kiffin.
Not necessarily this rumor but I think something has happened...again. Last year Boom Williams tore the team apart when he quit the team and came back. This year, who knows? But it shows me that Stoops has lost the team for one reason or another.
I'm not a source and don't have any but this or a similar rumor was told to me Monday of this week by someone who is a fan and hoped it wasn't true. I have no idea of the veracity of what I was told but it was a sober, serious, professional person who I've not known to deal in bs. He admitted he could only rely on who told him - he had no independent info. So there's a whole lot of nothing said other than the rumor has been out awhile for it to finally make it to me. Lol.
So just as a hypothetical.....if this is true could there be a clause in his contract about this sort of thing that could void his buyout?
There's a difference between cheating with a random person and cheating with a University student or University employee working under you (especially if it leads to pregnancy).
I don't know if the rumors are true, but IF the worst of what I've heard is true, he'll be gone.

I could add a couple of facts I was told but again not knowing the truth of it would hate to help identify someone innocent and hurt them if this is not true... or even if it is.
Stoops' agent has hoodwinked Mitch's team of negotiators time after time after time. I seriously doubt it would be any different this time around. If Mitch's boys bring up a morality clause Stoops' expert team would hammer them to death with the fine print.
It's obvious at this point that Stoops' has a top notch lawyer/agent that gets paid top dollar to bamboozle howdy doodies like Mitch for a living.

Schiano was heir apparent to both Penn St and Miami before he took over at Tampa Bay.
He has ties to northeast, Florida with his ties to Miami and even Tampa Bay. Built a terrible program at Rutgers into a respectable program. Under Urban Meyer, his coaches pan out pretty good. Tom Herman

There is no "morals" clause in the contract. The only "for cause" prong that might be implicated by the rumored situation here is failure to follow written university policies. Not sure that would apply either.
I wouldn't hate that hire, but I'd dearly love to have Butch Davis before anybody else.
See my post above, that's what's behind this IMO...the hope he has violated an ethics clause that would render his contract null and void. As I said, if this is true he'd be removed immediately, as long as he isn't one would think this was/is BS.
You cannot and will never please everybody
I have a feeling this stuff will happen all year, and if it is true, it sucks. If it is not true and if he wins this year in the end, people will be wanting this swept under the rug
Just give it time
A LOT of the Miami guys wanted Butch back but many others also said he was NC2A violation(s) waiting to happen.
The big draw with him for me is his ability to find under the radar players and coach them up. He put a lot of guys in the NFL that nobody was recruiting out of high school. That's a talent that the next UK coach dearly needs.
Even if this rumor isnt true............be prepared for many more rumors to be started in the coming weeks . I wouldnt put it past boosters to start rumors just to show Mitch how its going to be until he wises up and cans Stoops.
I know Matt a little from years ago, and he always said his biggest regret in life was breaking the Jules Camara DUI story as they were friends
He will also probably handle this very carefully

I have to wonder why anyone wants a head coach that blatantly cheated at other schools including bigger programs than UK
Kiffin cheated at UT and reportly at USC (why he was fired on the Tarmac)
Butch Davis Cheated his arse off at Miami and UNC. Those guys would be cheating before the ink dried on the paper.
Schiano and Brohm would both be good choices but I'm guessing Neil Brown is the next head coach at UK. I think next year. Remember, he was hired as OC before Stoops was hired as head coach.
