Go to Texas A&M, **********.
It isn’t the DC, the whole operation plays “let’s not lose this game” football from top to bottom.
Yeah. Stoops gets the blame for cuffing Liam…but he’s a defensive guy.
White surely doing as advised. If HC wanted a different approach it would happen. Defense is his thing, apparently.
Ridiculous. The very obese Cal marcus Welby Paul Westhead in comparison if you’re talking “conservative” principles.

Meh, it wasn't a waste of a season. I mean it wasn't great, but it's still better than the VAST majority of Kentucky football seasons.
(which might say more about how bad Kentucky football is, but it doesn't make it untrue)

We go from putting the most pressure on a QB we have done all season to “let’s rush 3”. Ball sack empty.
We did this all year. Sit back and make every QB look like Tom Brady.
LOL f*cking Stoops.
That 3rd and 18 sums up why he'll never succeed no matter where he is. If you watch it back, we rush 3 and drop 8 in coverage. 4 players are standing around with their dick in hand nowhere near a WR. How is that better than rushing 6 and putting pressure on the ball?

With 1 minute left we:
Gave up a wide open 3rd and 10.
Got a substitution infraction out of a time out.
Rushed a safety to create 3rd and 18 at the 50.
Stat back 15 yards and allowed an easy completion to lead to 4th down.
I mean did we think Clemson was going to punt it if they didn’t convert that 3rd and 18?

There was 42 points scored in the 4th quarter.
It was literally two Corky defensive coordinators going back and forth with blown coverages and soft zone calls. To see who could choke the most.
The game wasn’t lost in the 1st half.
That’s why they went insane at A&M.
7-6 and a bowl appearance might make a lot of Ky people happy, not close to being ok at A&M.

-Obviously the last drive was coaching malpractice... but the game was lost when the offense gifted clempson the ball 3 consecutive times inside the 35.
EDIT: d got the ball back once...but ST screw up gave them yet another shot at starting inside the 35-40.
^sloppy and undisciplined.
-Haven't looked at time of possession...but D was gassed.
-leary's stats were ok on paper all year... but the dude made crucial mistakes all year...almost cost uk their "best(insert pukeface)" win at ul. Never been more happy to see a ukfb player move on.
-ultimately this game was a microcosm of this year...should've been a good thing but untimely mistakes/coaching blunders pissed it away.

Leary, is the reason we lost this game. I tried to be honest about him, early in the season , but some of you weren't having it. Kentucky football needs better than Leary to exceed a barely winning season and a bowl win.
Coaching mistakes always play a part, but on balance, with the talent disparity he's almost always up against, Stoops prevails more often than everyone that has ever coached here, not named Paul Bryant.
I'm going to assume that Stoops isn't a complete idiot, and that he preaches an coaches about the stupid mistakes. But, we are enjoying an almost unprecedented level of success in recruiting. Bringing in players with athletic talent that we have never regularly nabbed. Maybe there is reason for that. And I hope I don't have to say it. And it's not about "cheating" or race.

Speaking of Freddie Maggard. His farewell comments on KSR had me in tears.
I have loved listening to his insights and commentary. I learned so much from him.
I am going to miss him being a part of KSR and the UK media family so much.
Godspeed Freddie, you go beat this thing and come back to us no matter how long it takes.

We went 7-6 with an NFL starting QB last year. Like I said and mean if you watch these games and think we are a well coached group you can f**k off.
OK...that'll get you a gold star on the fridge. But let's talk statues and extensions....lol. Hopefully Cohen and White exit stage left and maybe Stoops will get caught up in another scandal. Enough of the lack of discipline his teams consistently show.
Anyway....Tigers - 2 1/2 on a teaser and over 45 paid for my March Vegas trip.
Well, that's not what I said. What I said was, in terms of results; Stoops far exceeds the norm at the University of Kentucky.
And, that the calibre of players we're getting, might come with a "discount' in the coachability and brain power department, which would help explain the "dumbass" moments we habitually display. IOW - it might not be ALL coaching.
Nobody gets more redass in game than me. But given what I spent decades watching, a last second loss in the Gator Bowl, with a mediocre QB. after a winning season, in which we crushed Louisville's entire season, represents the salad days.

False. Lmao. Post a screenshot of that.
Best case, if a legit win, you won 1-2 hundo. That’s basically lunch + two bloodies in Vegas you clown
Let’s see that ticket
Cats also covered every spread from open (7) to close (3.5). I paid my house off
The “norm” at UK-is dead and gone. You keep bringing up the 90’s/00’s. Now we have decent facilities and have a few million dollars to spend on players.
The arguement that Mitch could screw the hire up? That makes total sense. With the past coaching candidates like Norm Chow and Mike McIntyre it should scare most folks. But make no mistake about it. Stoops can’t coach in game worth a ****.
- Unreal, and while I’m pretty damned pissed I’m mostly just disappointed.
21-10 and had 2 chances to make it 28-10 and kind of put it away and crush their motivation but we let them linger and then turned it over.
I think it was lost in those possessions we didn’t go for the kill and get it to 28-10.
- If you think it was Leary this year, then your problem is solved next year and 3-4 years after TBH.
- If you think it’s Brad White, then buckle up because no idiot would hire his away, and our idiot loves the guy.
- I know 2 years ago we had an all SR secondary and Stoops/White let it rip with man coverage and I think Weaver, Oxadine, and Paschal wreaking havoc but we are along way from that with this defense we saw this year.
It’s easy to blame coaches but something isn’t adding up because Phillips/Hairston can flat out cover but for some reason we didn’t trust them all year.
- I love Stoops and I’m damn happy to have him, but that doesn’t mean he is free and clear from being blamed today because his role is monumental.
This loss was typical old school UK football, and that’s just not acceptable anymore.

90's LOL
I'd been watching bad UK football for 2 decades by the time the 90's rolled.
I don't know what to tell you man. If you think Kentucky is better than Stoops, that's fine. Pull that switch at your peril, IMO.
And typical "old school" Kentucky football wouldn't even BE in a bowl, much less the Gator Bowl.
We ALL want more, but let us not be stupid.

If you watched it in the 70’s you watched us go undefeated in conference and win the SEC in football. Also, watched us beat UNC in the Peach Bowl. Yeah, I do think we are better than that fat head and Mitch. But that’s just me.
I dont know man UKO has a pretty solid track record on the internets.
-I'm not in FARR Stoops! Mode ... but this is 2 disappointing seasons in a row.
^if the team isn't more disciplined next year, and the coaches don't learn from their mistakes...his seat should be getting pretty warm.
-losing to superior teams is one thing... but 1 complete no show (uscjr) and two epic collapses (mizzou and clempson) is another...last year it was Vandy, Uscjr and iowa. It needs to get better.
-I'm happy for what stoops has done and don't expect perfection by any means... but consistent progress needs to be the goal.

You might want to look at the rest of Curci's career. And really dig in to how he built those two seasons.
Eh, typical old school saw Marty Moore solidify a win against Clemson.
I’m not going to argue with you because I mostly get what you are saying, BUT todays game in a stand alone game forgetting everything else is a must win if for nothing else to dawn a different mentality going into next year and because the game was won!
I’m not blaming Stoops solely because plays on the field had a large role today, BUT have we learned nothing this year with that soft *** zone? NOTHING!?!?
I don't think the "rent a QB" route is the wisest way to go. I don't think that is doing us any favors.
Inconsistent QB play has plagued us in ways (including poor defensive showings IMO) that don't readily show themselves.
By going up to NJ and paying Art Still and Derrick Ramsey. Just like we pay Deone, Barion and quite a few other players now. No reason to clog it up.
If you or anybody else think Stoops is a good in game coach. I think you’re stupid. That’s just me. No reason to keep going back and forth on it. I heard you each time you argued that we don’t deserve better at UK.

Really tough to win a big football game with a ****** QB.
But yeah- those 3rd&23/4th&5 and 3rd&18 pickups were infuriating.

I don’t care what KY Football used to be like. All I know is KY currently has a coach getting paid Top 10 money that has not done a good job the past few years. It has to get better next season or his seat needs to get a lot warmer than it is right now.
Well, the fact that YOU think I'm stupid, actually makes me feel more secure in the knowledge that I am not.
Look at Curci's record at UK and compare it to Stoops'
Then come back and tell me how "intelligent" you are. LOL
