ESPN reporting now Strong out at Texas
- Thread starter rick64
- Start date
Can't wait for this coaching carousel to take off, been shaping up to be a good one all year.
Charlie will have offers flooding in.
Look for him to end up at OSU or Alabama as a "quality control assistant" or something like that...

What are you implying? UK should fire the coach that led them to a lower tier bowl? You know, beings they usually go to much more prestigious bowls...smh
Smh all you dam want. So far the Stoops era is a joke compared to what I expected in yr 4.
CBS as well. How many times will that make that his kids have changed schools?

You thought UGA, UT, and Florida were going to let UK surpass them? LOL.
Did you expect Ky football? Check the History. Yes Uk went 10-1 in 1977, they cheated. bowl seasons are few are far between here if you haven't noticed. Maybe you are 12 and don't understand what UK football is? Stoops has made progress, it has been slow, but it is coming. You can enjoy going to a bowl game or you can wallow in misery. I know what I am going to do. Don't expect 10-2 next season either, whether it is Stoops or Pettrino here.
LMAO! What is in the water around here????
Such a loser mentality. I'm 29 and have seen tons of football programs across the country build solid to good football programs.
Don't give me bull about we can't win more than 6 games a yr. SEC east is ripe for the picking if we hired a dam coach that knew what he was doing.
The fan support is there, the facilities, and the SEC money.
He really wasn't a good fit from the get go, He was probably about their fourth or fifth option and it was painfully obvious he wasn't up to the task. Not having Hurtt was his downfall.
Hey man, I am a fan like you. I want to see better, CMS took over a team 4 years ago that would not have won the MAC conference. What did you really expect 3 recruiting classes later?. I know 4 but he got late start on first class
And the competition against Louisville wasn't nearly as good as it was in the Big 12!
He didn't have Teddy Bridgewater. With a seasoned TB, his record is 23-3. Without a seasoned Bridgewater, his record is 30-32.
Their "standards" sure have worked out great for them.
They ran off maybe the best coach they ever had, replaced him with a desperation hire, and now they are back at square one, hoping that they can beat LSU on Herman.
If they don't get him, they are going to have to take a flier on another second tier choice.
2.5 M a year. If Charlie is employed the buyout from Tx drops from 5M a year to 2.5M a year.
Realistic expectations are different than low expectations. When you set goals that you can't achieve at the time, then you are building in negatives that hurt your progress. Things built the right way are built slowly and methodically, not with rush and haste. Starting points must also be considered. Just because some don't expect SEC championships YET, does not mean we have low expectations. It means some just have realistic ones.
Successful Louisville head coaches:
Schnellenberger - left for OU, fired
John L Smith - left for Michigan State, fired; fired at Arkansas
Petrino - left for Falcons, deserted them in middle of night; fired at Arkansas
Strong - left for Texas, fired.
The pattern isn't hard to see.

I don't care what you think. If you had your head in the sand way, Joker would still be here building. Pepsiman is that you?
Hahaha. Pepsi man posted the same time I have. My name hasn't changed one time. Look it up.
And no, I wouldn't still want joker here
Strong's a defensive minded coach. The Big 12 is an offensive minded league. Texas tried to ram a round peg into a square hole.
Basically the high-market version of Stoops at Kentucky ... recruited very well, but revolving door offensive coordinators and couldn't figure out the quarterback position. Not to mention defense didn't perform nearly as well as you'd expect with a "defensive minded hire," leading to the rarely encouraging head coach "taking a more active role" on that side of the ball years into his tenure.
Obviously, UT a much, much bigger job. And much shorter leash.

Schnellenberger resigned from OU after one season.
John L. Was not fired from Arkansas he was then interim coach and wasn't offered the job full time.
Look man. Obviously we don't agree with the state of the football program. I'm done fighting with people. I think we should of hired a different coach 4 years ago.
But if Stoops wins and next year, which he will be here, shows me more than. This year. I would return to Commonwealth.
No. It's not. Brooks did way better with ****** *** facilities and no money.
So again, wrong.
Ha!! The is the first year the facilities were completely done. Secondly, Brooks team was only 1 game better in his fourth year than Stoops. And, he had multiple NFL guys on his team.
So, you are wrong again.
Ok fine. Stoops is great. But I wanna know what you say when the coach we should of hired 4 years ago beats the **** outta us next week.
Fans fault? Not enough time?
Well, I don't think we should have hired him then, and i don't now. But you apparently love him, so go route for him. And I won't believe they will kill us until they actually do.
I don't have an opinion on him as a person. Don't care. Hate UL but dam jealous how they own us in football. He wins. Knew Pitino was an *** but he won and everyone was ok with it here.
Why since Mitch was hired everyone has to be some church *** school boy?
No one, no one else in the SEC gives a crap as long as you win. About time UK grows up.
I would just offer that I would have been elated with a Petrino hire at UK. The guy wins ballgames. He is filth off the field, and he brings in a load of guys who have done bad things at other places. Still, I was onboard.
Then Stoops came out of nowhere. The guy was everything I had dreamed of--Ohio connections for recruiting, brought in Neal Brown to run a scoring offense and was going to bring defense with him.
That obviously didn't go as planned, but I find that to be more of an awakening with regard to the talent left on-hand. Sure, Stoops has more to learn as a HC, but as is often the case with fan sentiment (unless you have big $), it means squat. So Stoops is our guy, regardless.
So here we are 4 years in. Bowling. A nice recovery from a miserable start, really. It's hard to deny that Petrino may have gotten UK there faster, but look at what Stoops ran into with one player who had legal issues (since disproven)--the guy got run off of campus. That would have taken about ten minutes with the second chances Petrino hands out.
So in the end, it's apples and oranges. UK is an institution that would have never embraced Petrino and frankly it doesn't matter--the ship has sailed and we have our guy.
Now...are you behind UK or do you prefer to cheer for Petrino? Because this week you have to choose.
