I think UK football has finally broken me. I honestly think I'm done with it. It brings out the worst in me and makes me unhappy way more often than not. I mean, what's the effing point?

LEXINGTON, Ky. University of Kentucky football coach Mark Stoops is getting paid – again. After having his contract extended already once in May, Stoops got another contract extension and significant raise on Friday before boarding a plane to Missouri for Saturday's game.
The new deal, which includes a prorated raise for the remainder of this season, adds another year and will pay him a total of $21.45 million through the 2019 season. His guaranteed compensation escalates each season, up to $3.25 million next year and $4.25 million by the final year.
"The success we've had so far this year has been encouraging, but that's not what this is about," athletic director Mitch Barnhart said. "It's about the general direction of the trajectory of our program."
*****
Stoops' new guaranteed compensation
2014 – $2.7 million (after prorated raise)
2015 – $3.25 million
2016 – $3.5 million
2017 – $3.75 million
2018 – $4.0 million
2019 – $4.25 million
Buyout
If Stoops is terminated before Dec. 1, 2017 without cause, he's owed the entirety of his remaining contract.
If terminated between Dec. 1, 2017 and Nov. 30, 2018, he gets 80 percent of his remaining salary.
If terminated any time after Nov. 30, 2019, he'll receive 60 percent of his remaining salary.

Good lord. What an awful, unnecessary, one-sided sham of a deal. The Louisville Arena Authority would have done a better job representing UK's interests than Mitch Barnhart and whoever else was at the table. There was absolutely no reason to make this deal in October, 2014. As the story points out, Stoops contract had already been extended in May of the same year. This was Barnhart being completely insecure and scared shitless that his shiny new football coach might be lured away leaving him holding the bag. You don't give a guy with no history of winning anything that type of buyout structure. That's indefensible.
Good news is GYEROs fav nashville barkeep has finally moved into side boob. Softcore is forthcoming.
LSU and Kentucky can fire their head coaches tomorrow and we'd owe ours $500,000 more than LSU would owe Les Miles.

I know one thing, with both Barker and Towles, we would occasionally have a series where we utilized short, timing pass plays and looked pretty good. Mizzou first half comes to mind, some of our early drives today (Barker did a nice job of selling the screen in the 1st). So, you know the plays are there...but we rarely utilized it. It's like we were dead set on being a power running play action/deep ball team. Our pass plays take soooo long to develop most of the time.Hell, at least Mummeball was fun. Remember when we scored 68 got dang points on UL? Now we run an "Air Raid" that consists of us slamming into the line for 2 yards over and over again.
If it was Mitch he would have just said, "Doooiks Scoooby!!!"The LSU AD just said Les Miles is staying. If that's true, he should've said that a week ago.

Seriously, Brady is the dumbest person in gyero and that's saying something. Coaches across the country are getting these ridiculous contracts. This isn't something special at UK. **** look at Tom Crean and he's at a place you can actually win. We want a commitment to football but we also want to bargain burn our head coach. That stuff was put in for recruiting.
So do us a favor. Pick your computer up and throw it in a dumpster then become a mid ten st fan and leave us alone.
Ok buddy. You're done here. See ya. Long overdue, as you're universally the worst poster the thread including chief.GD, you're a dumbass. You were in here this week actually rating movies you haven't even seen. You are actually using Tom Crean's contract to justify that disaster of a contract.You are constantly backing the stupid touching AD and acting as if you know a GD thing about FB. You don't know dick about much except Ed Hardy t-shirts and yo-yo dieting. Go gobble up more of Mitch's nonsense and while you are at it go get slapped by Matt again.
