His sources are the guy in a van down by the river.
Chris Farley's dead....so no source. He's just trying to stop the sweating instead of just admitting what we already know.
Lamar Thomas
- Thread starter Kentucky31
- Start date

`Pretty obvious that he is a much better fit with jurich's motley crew than almost anyone else, probably doesn't have an adultery charge yet because he hasn't found anyone that would have him yet. Anyone EVER heard of someone getting a full time position on a major conference football team with his kind of qualifications. Disqualifications, really.
How in hell does jurich get away with bringing all this trash to campus (Willie will be just fine here) and how in hell did he get off so easy on all those charges? Sounds like BP's tough love was great for him, LOL.
But then it wasn't too far from Louisville and money does talk, right, BP.
The whole thing would be comical if it wasn't so wrong, they are a disgrace to the whole state.
Of course Ul fans are not crying about the loss. The man went to your most hated rival and decided to start coaching there. If the same thing happened to us, many of us would act like it was no big deal and just shrug it off. When it comes to talent and coaching, I actually trust Stoops to make the right decisions. If Stoops signed this man on to coach at Kentucky, i have faith the dude can coach. We will see which fanbase is right and which is wrong when it comes to Thomas and his coaching. With Ul needing to hire the coaches son to a position, it aint looking good.
While UL fans did not like the timing of the Thomas announcement and the late unsuccessful attempt to flip some UL commits to UK the reality is Thomas had zero commits as a recruiter on paper for last year before he left. Overall he never proved to be the good SF recruiter UL hoped to have in him. Yes Thomas was involved with recruiting Lamar but it was more because Thomas was often in the area. Others were also involved with recruiting Thomas and he wanted to play for Bobby.
Either way we can see how he does for UK. He may be very motivated and do great for the Cats.

Give it up already; you've blown your cover with this one.
Anyone who thinks Stoops doesn't expect his coaches to work very hard and put in long hours us dillusional.. you don't recruit the way Stoops and company have to KENTUCKY in football without working your *** off.
It's much more likely Thomas tired of working for a low character *******...
I never make fun of the UK fan base. I just give them the over the top UK fan they live to argue with. Believe me Steelers vetted me pretty heavily and he knows I'm not Homerblue. I buried my 30 year old cousin today some of you guys need to lighten up and have some fun. That's what sports and these message boards are supposed to be.
Oh, if you are a QB, Petrino is a prick to play for; not much doubt there. He will also make you as good as you can be. Player has to choose.
Totally agree. That is why I prefaced the statement with "rare".
Yeah, Petrino IS a hard guy to work for. He is a football 24/7 guy and expects his staff to be the same. I had heard some stories that Thomas just wasn't that committed and it caused some "problems". It stands to reason that as GA Petrino became increasing engaged with "coaching" WRs, the WR coach would be accordingly pissed. Like I said, UK is happy and UofL ain't crying so it was probably as close to a win-win as you can realistically get.
I gotta say, I don't know what Petrino the Younger brings to the staff. However, he is coaching QBs, not WRs, so that makes him a little bit more "useful". He played QB, understands the position and if he is anything like his dad and grand dad he understands that position.
Well, I had not heard about players being "upset" he was leaving. I can understand him being popular with the players. At fan functions, he and former DB coach Terrel Buckley were a hoot, cracking on each other and WRs vs. DB in general. To be truthful, I have no real idea of how good a coach he was/is. He was certainly a terrific player but his coaching career prior to Uofl was 3 years at Hampton and 2 years at WKU. My "source" was from inside the locker room. I will say no more.
Nobody is "in denial" about anything. It is what it is.
Peace
Who are the qbs that Bobby put into the league again? Seems my memory is every coach at ul did better at developing qbs except for krags.
Not every player, in fact very few players, go on to the league. There are plenty of very good college players that don't make it in the league. Since we are talking college sports here, it is about being as good as you can be in college.
Peace
Who's acting the victim? I said it sports- which is for entertainment. It's not life., If it is to you then you are a pretty miserable person.
Yeah, I'm the one with a miserable life.
You've literally made an alternative account to go troll on another fan base...............
Edit: And It's clearly more than entertainment for you since you spend 5+ hours on this page spewing out your ignorance.
Lastly, If you're going to troll, at least have the balls to come in here on your UL account.

BTW, if you follow Twitter you would have seen "upset." Maybe they were telling you something different in the locker room.
And I'll say yet again what an incredibly incompetent and stupid coach Petrino is to have an assistant he is within days if not minutes of firing be hands on with recruits on visits less than a week prior to signing day. I mean, there are pictures of him sitting surrounded by UL recruits at the Virginia-UL game Jan 30, he accepted the UK job Jan 31.
not crying? LOL!! As this thread perfectly illustrates UL fan has not yet gotten over the outrage that lowly often beaten UK snapped away a member of their staff. Lamar's twitter is blown up daily by UL fans. As I joked with him on there, "hey when you were working with UL how many negative tweets did you ever get from UK fans", he responded not a single one.
I have one account I post with on all boards. Go take a walk outside, tell your wife and kids you love them. Come off the ledge.
LOL - Thomas tried to flip UL recruits to UK late...but Thomas had zero commits at UL? Can you even reconcile this statement?
Pretty sure Thomas stayed away from UL recruits after leaving - he said as much. And considering he had zero recruits, that was probably easy for him.
I'm sure glad we have a decisive leader at the head of our program who quickly moves to get rid of assistants who aren't getting it done right after the season is over rather than have those he is going to remove hang around months later & still be involved in important recruiting events
In what is pretty typical of UK/UofL exchanges I think people might be missing the bigger picture...it sounds like UK benefits from getting Lamar Thomas on staff vs. what they had as a receiver's coach previously, and everybody in the Louisville camp seems to be ecstatic to have Lonnie Galloway as the receivers coach given his pedigree at West Virginia and the caliber of recruit he was able to deliver while there.
Whether Lamar wanted to leave Louisville or Louisville wanted Lamar to leave is immaterial; Lamar was well liked by his receivers, Lamar is well liked by UK receivers, Lonnie Galloway was given a big contract hike at West Virginia on the weekend and bolted for Louisville during the next week and gives us something that Lamar probably wasn't going to give us, i.e. coming out of the West Virginia offense and coming into our program as a de facto passing game coordinator. Net plus for everybody.
The bigger question for us is the dynamics between Lamar Jackson and Petrino, Jr...and that's something that is an elephant in the room for most onlookers in the Louisville camp.
One other thing...Cort Dennison the new DBs coach was anything but some garden variety grad assistant. He's going to be a star as a secondary coach and you can bet the ranch that in seven or eight years he'll be a coveted coordinator.

Nick Petrino took Thomas' spot on staff.
Galloway was after the fact...
If Bob knew the OC was bouncing too, Nick probably wouldn't be the QB coach...it was a terrible, rushed hire.

I am in the athletic department at WKU and have talked with almost all of the players that played for Petrino at WKU and they couldn't stand him and we're happy to see him leave. They say that Brohm was the one they liked most and would do anything for Brohm. Personally, I've talked with Petrino several times and didn't really find it enjoyable. In fact, I declined and invite to stay at his home in Louisville for Derby 2015.
"That is an elephant in the room for most onlookers in the Louisville camp."
Tell me more, and tell me how BP Jr could have gained so much experience to be qualified at TWO different P5 coaching positions at such a young age.
Although I would have to agree that his off the field efforts fit in great with the motley crew jurich has assembled at city college, he even seems to have inherited the great ability to escape from any real consequences from his foibles. Of course his dad's money might have had a lot to do with that, our justice system run by our lawyers and MONEY is a joke really.
I just wish he didn't have to be so decisive every year and could keep his coaching staff intact for a couple years. That would really help stabilize the program some.
Be nice if you could be decisive on whether you are going to pretend to be a Uk fan, or if you're permanently a UL fan on here...let us know please
How much WR had BP jr played to qualify him for that position when that is the position they used to get him in the door?
Yeah, but how will he fit in with the crew, how many times has he committed adultery, any abortions?
Watching UL WRs drop passes against UVA, I wondered whether they need Thomas back. I think UKs WRs have benefited from the change.
It does seem that we've been largely cured of the dropsies. They seem to now happen at a normal, or perhaps a bit less than normal rate. Last year, it seemed as though we led the nation in that category.
Our WRs are also blocking extremely well.. it's something that can be easily over looked but its definitely helping our run game break our big runs
Spoke with Thomas @ Coaches Bourbon & cigar event. He asked where we was from we told him Louisville...he said he liked living there but hated CBP as did every other Coach...he said who has 4 Coaches leave on their own after successful season and take lateral jobs at best?.Jurich told him he would get him more money. He told Jurich he can't work for a miserable human being any more.
That guy must have a very fulfilling life if that is how he has to get his rocks off.
