We have some great players. Which makes it worse. Bring in someone now that can figure this out. Who will we be able to recruit next year. Stoops can't turn it around. Won't turn it around and every one knows it. Why prolong the misery. Do something now. Send mitch packing to

Dont think that is going to happen for UK FOOTBALL.

We need an insider to come in and tell us WTF is the problem. I am sure losing and getting new coordinators every year can be an issue.. but that is just an excuse for me right now when there is obviously a major issue.

Why are you in such a hurry? It will just make the same thing happen again 4 years from now. You make it sound like it is just a minor problem that a different coach could correct.

This procedure has been used since the 1960's and it probably will happen again in 3-5 years. Doesn't work-you can't buy your way to success. It takes a lot of patience, hard work and determination and its still not guaranteed .

I will be glad to listen to your explanation as to how your solution of firing the coaches would work.

Time for Stoops and Barney to go. Need a real AD who will hire a real coach. Our last two coaches had NO head coaching experience and it showed.

You are right. Bill Curry should still be football coach.

Awesome, someone who wants Mitch Barnhard to make his fourth head football hire right away

The kind of short sighted thinking that is why this program has stagnated for 15 years under Mitch. Calling for a band aid for an amputated limb.

Go big or go home. Keep Stools until Mitch is gone first if you TRUELY wish to solve UK football's issues.

We will never know will we? Curry probably had the longest tenure of any coach, but could not get it done either. Like I said regardless who you hire and how much you pay him doesn't guarantee success.

Its going to take a while.:grimace:

Elliot should of been moved to Special teams or demoted (if Stoops hates firing his best friends that much)

But now its time to can Stoops and let Gran run the team as interim.

You blame that on Gran? His offense the last 6 quarters looked exactly like the same offense under Dawson and Brown here.............. at what point do you realize that Stoops is in full control and the Coord. have to do what he wants?

I understand that the buck stops with him but Gran has stated that he and Stoops are on the same page. Maybe it's the players

You are smart enough to know coach speak when you see it. Dawson said the same things......... then at the end of the season we found out the truth

So was Stoops calling the plays in the first half against USM? Neal Brown's offense put up much better numbers with lesser players and if I remember correctly a lot of people were happy he got the Troy job.

Well consider Stoops had said our offense was scoring too fast and it wore our defense down......... and the last 6 quarters havent looked anything like the first two..... I'd say Stoops had a convo with Gran and tinkered... dont you?

Losing Neal Brown was a huge loss. He's proven time and time again he's a great playcaller.

Nobody is going to look good under Stoops. WAY too much micromanaging
