Things haven't changed. The noise of a stoops firing was loud before USC and the win quelled it. These games coming up mSU, and Vandy specifically I believe are no different. I feel like stoops could be fired Sunday or Monday with a home loss to Vandy or MSU. If he wins those two and doesn't reach 6 wins I think he gets the ax after the season
I say we are back to the USC jr situation
- Thread starter Goingfor9
- Start date
I seriously doubt he is fired during the season.
A loss to Vandy will be really bad. The groans will be very loud. A win over UGA, UT, or UL will be required to get to a bowl assuming we beat MSU and Mizzou.
The next three weeks would be very stressful for CMS if we had a legitimate AD.

I'll stand by my original prediction.
2-4 wins, fired at the end of the season.

Agree. I'm sure Barney won't want to do it but he'll have no choice.
"I wish the fans would give us another two years with him. It would be way cheaper and I could sit on my *** for 24 more months".
If we lose Saturday, fire him on Monday. What's the point in keeping him at that point? Make Gran Interim HC and immediately start putting out feelers to different coaches. Cough Fleck cough.
yeah 6-6 and bowl win for 7-6...or else IMO.
Realistically ...This is when we usually loose one we shouldn't and then tank the rest of the season so I hope for the 7-6...but I expect 4-8 and a coaching change.
That was the difference with Brooks. Took care of business with the OOC and a couple 50-50 games then stole one each year we had no business winning then off to the music city bowl at 7-5...welcome to the UK HOF.
Stoops is another 5-7 from begging his bro for a letter of reference for an Oklahoma community college LB coach job. If he isn't we may have a new AD next season also.

Prior to the USC game, there was a particularly nasty and despicable rumor going around about Stoops. I think the rumor was started by despicable low-life people who wanted the team to tank the game, thereby paving the way for the team to tank the season.
If I had to guess,you're probably secretly hoping that UK will lose tomorrow. I hope we win tomorrow, not for Stoops sake, but for the program's sake, and especially for the sake of the players.
Nah I've made it pretty clear that I hope he succeeds but face it. 2-4 with losses to USM and Vandy at home well he's done in lex
Not so sure about that but I'm pretty certain if he wins 5 he'll be back .
If Barnhart is doing the hiring , what will it matter .
After listening to KSR today I'm about positive he gets another year regardless. Matt got upset discussing the buy out and how it would be hard to pay for it. Matt says the big boosters all like Stoops.
We have never left the South Carolina situation because of the Sou.Miss game,we are in must win mode.If we beat Vandy Stoops probably saves his job and we stay alive for a slim shot at a bowl for another 2 weeks
We talk about Stoops but if we lose to Vandy tomorrow, this team may fall apart and not win another game this year. But if they win, it just may be the confidence builder they need to beat Miss State and Mo.
Let's just throw out what has happen so far in the Stoops era and start over? 4 years from now what to say we are not where we are now? Let's ride this Stoop's era out for a little while longer.
Well if they beat Missouri and Miss. State, assuming they win today, then they make a bowl without needing wins over any of those three November games because Austin peay would be win number six.
"A loss to Vandy will be really bad. A win over UGA, UT, or UL will be required to get to a bowl assuming we beat MSU and Mizzou."
Didn't we say the exact thing..? Austin Peay is the given.
Yeah kind of. If they lose to Vandy they would need to beat one of those three however a win against Vandy, Miss. State, and Missouri would be 5 wins with Peay being six.
bpoe: If we lose to Vandy we have to upset UGA, UT or UL to go to bowl assuming we beat MSU and Mizzou.
Dakota: Well, if we beat MSU and Mizzou and get a win vs Vandy we wouldnt have to upset one of UGA, UT, or UL
bpoe: Isnt that the same thing?
Dakota: Kind of, If they lose to Vandy they would need to beat one of those three however a win against Vandy, Miss. State, and Missouri
bpoe: reference Nick Saban commercial, "I probably am right" you are saying the exact same thing as I am! But, you may be moving your hands differently when you say it....?
Anxious to see if our improvement continues today. If we can block out the negativity and play well and win I can see us with 6 /7 wins. Defense seems to be in the right spots now. Offense has to be better particularly QB. Hoping Drew gets back soon. Stephen shows signs but was rattled on the road last week. Maybe that atmosphere helped him and the team grow and improve their confidence at home today
