It’s official…/
- Thread starter Vek96
- Start date
Once again, a coach bails Mitch Barnhart out of an idiotic contract that could have set the program even further back for years. This time we have to pay, but not lump sum.
Bye Bye Felicia...... Honestly it's funny they want to bring up in the headline that he's the all times wins leader but he's also the all time losing leader too.... Just with his attitude lately ( just his most recent press conference about zero chance he goes anywhere) and his wanting to run out the door to A&M and really cashing it in since then. I'm so glad we are moving on and he's gone...... Now I wonder who we go after since we **** the bed with Sumrall....
Exactly I'll be so glad when Mitch is gone he is such a headache.....
Will Stein, and Brian Hartline are the two hot names.
Longshots: Dan Mullen and Chip Kelly.
Personally, Stein would be my choice.

I was looking on google and they said on some site I have never saw before and said these would be the 8 candidates.
Eight Top Candidates Emerge for Kentucky Football Coach After Stoops’ Exit
The recent change in coaching leadership at Kentucky’s football program has garnered significant attention. Following the dismissal of Mark Stoops, who led the Wildcats for 13 seasons, the search for a new coach has begun. Stoops’s exit came with a remarkable severance package of $37 million...

- Jared Parker: Former Wildcat player and current Trojans coach, Parker has local ties and led his team to the Sun Belt title game.
- Danny Mullen: With extensive SEC experience, Mullen successfully led UNLV to a ten-win season.
- P.J. Fleck: Known for consistent success at Minnesota, Fleck could offer a dynamic shift from Stoops’ coaching style.
- Matt Campbell: The Iowa State coach, who has spent a decade in the Midwest, is familiar with SEC challenges.
- Glenn Schumann: Currently part of Georgia’s coaching staff, Schumann brings SEC familiarity and fresh energy at just 35 years old.
- Brian Hartline: An Ohio State assistant, Hartline has a strong recruiting background and connections that could benefit Kentucky.
- Ricky Rahne: As the head coach at Old Dominion, his teams have steadily improved and he has previous SEC experience.
- Jon Sumrall: Despite being missed as a candidate, he remains a noteworthy name associated with future matchups.
Oh boy. PJ Fleck? That’s not going to excite me. Neither is Matt Campbell or Glenn Schumann.I was looking on google and they said on some site I have never saw before and said these would be the 8 candidates.

I would be happy with Hartline or Mullen. I really want Will Stein though.
Thanks for the list.
No problem.... I'm with you the consensus I have seen though is the top2 is Stein and Hartline and anywhere at the 3 and below has been a wide range . I have saw the list above and I have also saw Neal Brown's name mentioned. I just hope that if rumors are true about Mitch retiring in the summer of 2026 he doesn't screw us on the way out the door with this hiring because to be honest with you I do not trust him at all when it comes to making this hire....
Give me Stein, Hartline, or Mullen, and I’ll be happy. In that order of preference.
Hartline is a great recruiter and his connections in Ohio would help us get talent out of the state. He’s done a great job calling plays for Ohio state this year too.
Stein is a great play caller and does a phenomenal job developing quarterbacks. He’s known to be a great recruiter as well.
if UK hires either of those two, I’ll be pumped for the future of the program.

You know, folks wonder sometimes why Coaches at UK often end up with a bad attitude towards the fanbase...try reading some of the crap said about the man the last couple of years and figure it out. Hell, look at the things said about Pope on RR after two whole losses in his second season.
