Who can we hire at this point and have some sense of continuity? You can't just bring someone in off the streets.

Interesting thread. I must say that I have heard of a thing concerning Stoops. I heard it Monday when I was in Lexington for meetings, but saw no mention of it here until
I saw these references to a deleted thread. What I heard was, basically, Petrino-esque. I guess we'll see.

Yes. That was what the deleted thread contained.
if there is any truth to whatever this rumor is, then UK is just looking for another reason to fire him anyway. Especially with that buyout. Maybe Mitch hired someone to sleep with Stoops. Set up. Where's my popcorn?
What I was able to read there didn't rise to the level of fireability unless some additional details were later included.
No ****. It's annoying as hell when people start that "neener neener, I know what's really going to happen but I can't tell you, but you should believe me anyway".
Does that mean our coach will show up at the game tomorrow wearing a neck brace and looking like he went 10 rounds with Mike Tyson?
Rich Brooks in town tonight is talking up Stoops and reminding the press that UK fans were selling Fire Brooks t-shirts at CW. Don't you think he would have heard something from Barney if a dismissal was imminent?
Hope not but I could see why guys may have lost respect for him.
If it's true and we passed on a proven winner to get a guy who was no better ethically....just damn.
Why would he only be fired for some off the field issues only if we lose tomorrow? If there is some kind of issue that would void his contract, then he should be fired regardless. Doesn't make any sense to me.
Exactly, and it's not really a "firing for cause", if it wouldn't have happened if we had won the game. It's a firing for losing tomorrow, and whatever this rumor is, is merely a pretext to avoid paying the terms of the contract. What a joke.
Exactly. Because the rumor is bogus. He may get fired tomorrow but it won't be because of this dumb rumor that seems to get attached to everyone that coaches here. Lol
I'm just glad we didn't hire a person of Petrino's character.

is there a morals clause? good lord, if any school would have contracts w morals clauses, it would have to be us. is this the ticket out of an awful situation???!!??
This is the kind of stuff coming out from fans in Joker's last year. Affair rumors etc and things off the field. I can't put any stock into the stuff that flies around even if something ever turned out to be true. Feels like the same Ol playbook though.
Ya know partner, you have hit the nail on the head. The post of the month!
Does this have to do with the Hotel thread from yesterday?
People, the stadium is going to be empty by the end of the year. Next year the team will be worse on paper. The buyout is not that huge, just stupid. We have more than enough to settle on a deal with him. He will not make it past this season without a drastic turnaround.
