ESPN reporting now Strong out at Texas

[BlueRunner11]

I support UK's team, its players, and their coaches as long as they are our coaches. To say Joker wasn't a good HC is easy, but a lot of "good" coaches have failed at UK over the years, and he WAS a good position coach AND recruiter, if you want some proof I can elaborate, but one of the best programs in the nation immediately hiring him and making him the recruiting coordinator says quite a bit. Also the two classes at Florida with him as RC were both top five in the nation IIRC.

NOBODY was going to be a big success at UK with the support mitch gave football before the strike, I don't think anyone could have done much better than Brooks did. The "recruiting room" alone was enough to show almost all recruits UK wasn't the least bit interested in anything but milking UK football to the max, and I am sure every other coach in the SEC had pictures of it to show recruits.

All in all an incredibly inept performance by the athletic department when football was emerging as THE money cow, and we were falling farther and farther behind the other jprograms in perception and facilities.

Jauk, I agree with you. I support the players, coaches, etc and root my arse off for them every game. But its ok to be critical when need be, thats what keeps players, coaches, admins accountable to not allow that to happen again. It was a travesty what was done to this program, but now things are in place for change but I believe we have a small window of opportunity here to make that happen. Other SEC schools won't be down forever, our financial investments will depreciate and lose its luster as other schools invest more. Weve put talent on the roster to win but have to strike now and can't screw around with all these Stoops hiccups. Yes he deserves credit for getting us where we are but we have to go much further and he needs get it going or get going. Pieces are in place for the first time in decades to take this up a notch and its more valuable than loyalty to Stoops if he can't do it. Next year will be a make it or break it year for him.

Who are you going to bring in for this perrenial Football power to take over for Stoops? Guys better than Stoops are hammering our door down to be here, aren't they? Screw it, let's fire him now and set the program back ANOTHER 3 to 5 years before we get back to 6 and 6. It's a and 6 and 6, 7 and 5 and occasional 8 and 4 (maybe) program and that just ain't changing pal. Not worth arguing so take care.

Iceburg, you a yankee?
