I have nothing against Stoops at all.

But this sure would be a nice time for Mitch to pull another Mark Pope-type hire out of his ***.
I honestly don’t want Mitch to make a Football Coach hire again. He won’t hire the type of coach needed in this environment to actually win now. It’s cut throat and you have to have a modern system, offense based with great line play and a legit defense. That is hard to find.

Honestly, Kentucky wins big time with this and Louisville loses.

* If Marrow was worth poaching, why didn't he do anything to make Kentucky football less terrible?
* At the same time, even Milk Toast Mitch must now see that no one -- even Stoops' own coaches -- has any confidence that the program is going anywhere but in the toilet.

If this is the day we look back on and say that Mark Stoops was 'Dead Coach Waddling' on that day, it is a good day.

I say they can stoops now and put in a interim coach for the season and make a hell of a offer to a big time coach to come in next season. Think we win our cupcake games and maybe 1 sec game but thats it. To be rid of stoops and already looking it would be worth it!

That will most likely be the outcome with Stoops so they may as well keep him because they will be paying him anyway. Can him at the end of the year but spend this year looking for a good replacement.

This is perfect timing with the NIL rulings. Starve the football program and spend all the money on dominating college basketball.

He's always been a scumbag.
He was our scumbag until they started sucking. UK football can do better. We had some running backs play qb a couple years with some good defense and snuck out a couple 10 win seasons.


Mitch should go with em. Hire a Kentucky legend to be the AD. Have all Kentucky legends be coaches. Can dream lol

Mitch needs to bring Sumrall home, just like he did with Pope.
In my opinion—- Not if it means we start flushing more money into the football toilet. The sooner we come to grips with where we are in the pecking order the better. I’d love to bring in Sumrall as long as he knows this is a basketball school and the resources go heavily in that direction. I’ll assume he won’t want the job if that’s the case but idk

I think this is the basketball board but I figured this would get more discussion here. Marrows leaving to be the GM at Louisville. I think this has to signal the end for stoops. The program need a new coach and voice like basketball did
I agree, I think unless Stoops pulls out a miracle season without Vince he is done.
