I hated that we got stoops from day 1 but as our coach I will support him all the way - my patience is wearing thin but I will continue to support him and our program . we have no offensive or Defensive Line , Coach has been here long enough to get at least a decent one but he has failed in doing that !

I wasn't enamored with the hire either, but was willing to give him a chance because of the Stoops name. I knew it would take some time to get his recruits on the field before we would see any improvement. That's where I am now, these are his players and his coaching that is underperforming. I can tolerate losing, if we lose while being competitive, but I can't accept ***-whoopings where the team just quits.

Hiring an unproven coach is a risk with 10% probability of success. Since it takes four or five years to see the result, it may take 50 to 100 years to find "the right" coach

Agree. I don't mind losing if we are playing the best we can. But I hate getting blown out by average teams at best. Florida is not that good. Neither was southern miss.
Our problem is squarely the coaching. Our players are the best we've seen here in decades. But we are losing to teams we should beat. Why? Coaching.
Think about it. First year head coach. First year defensive coordinator. A first year OC last year and a not very w peri winced OC this year...
This is the most undisciplined team I think I've ever seen at ky

Everyone makes mistakes...UF for example. The thing is, those schools won't put up with this BS but for a very short time. The Joker/Stoops project has set this program back a decade solely because of MB.

I totally agree with this take...
- It's hard to find a candidate that is proven to take jobs at UK (UL for that matter)...You're almost always going to be after a hot assistant, lower tier head coach or a head coach that has failed/fired elsewhere.
- But when you make a mistake...get rid of them when they've shown the decision was bad. (Kragthorpe UL, Muschamp/Zook at UF, Sylvester Croom at Miss St, etc...) But Mitch with the extension to Stoops was simply absurd and now UK is going to pay dearly for that mistake. If we'd just work on Stoops original contract...we'd be talking of only buying out less than 2 million after thsi season....but now it looks like it will balloon to 12M
