Maty Mauk reinstated...

This move is a mystery. That program is slowly coming a dumpster fire.

South Carolina hired Muschamp and he proceeded to put the band back together that for him fired at Florida. And speaking of Florida, they now won't have a QB for the entire season next year. It remains to be seen what kind of talent McIlwain can bring in. Mason is a very good DC but he is in even farther over his head than Stoops as a HC. Does anybody really believe - other than a UT homer - that the bat poop crazy coach at UT is really the answer at there? Was this season a sign of progress or a product of playing a schedule where 8 games were gimmes? And then we have Kirby Smart at UGA who's been working for the biggest control freak in sports. Can he do it on his on? He wouldn't be the first Saban disciple to fall flat on his face.

Given all that, the weak non-conference opponents and MSU as the permanent SECW foe, there has never been a better time to be the football coach at UK. And yet this staff continues to squander opportunities.If they don't capitalize this year, MB will have no choice but to cut bait.

That is weird, it feels like Mauk was playing there when Woodson was our quarterback. he has to be a 12th year senior.

South Carolina is a mystery. But I do think Muschamps biggest problem was he could never hold onto an offensive coordinator. I think they had a new one every year he was there. That just doesn't work. But he left an elite defense for McElwain to profit off of. But he won't be able to build that defense at South Carolina, but if he can build even a good defense and have a better offense, South Carolina will be fine. But if you can't do it at UF, I dont have much reason to believe you can at USC.

McElwain has gotten more credit that he deserves in my opinion. All he did was take an elite defense and coached not to lose in a weaker East. Smart move and credit for that, but his real test will be Year 3 and Year 2 to a smaller degree. He is losing quite a bit of talent on defense so we'll start to see how he's gonna do next season.

Mason I agree with you. But he did inherit a mess from Franklin. I think it's part of the reason he bailed so fast. Also as I posted before, Franklin won a lot of games at Vandy against horrid SEC teams. He came in a perfect time at Vandy and when things looked like they might change, he jumped. I dont blame him. But I don't think his star would be as bright if he stayed at Vandy. He would probably done as well as Mason. The thing about Mason is you gotta admit is defense started looking good mid season. The downside for Mason is he is losing a lot of that talent next season. So I expect them to be worse.

And you're definitely wrong Butch. Tennessee is legit and are a threat to win the East next year...hell I say they are favored to win the East. They are gonna have more talent than Florida and Georgia. Butch said it right earlier in the season when he said it take a long time to build a team in the SEC. And thats starting at a place that already had a good foundation, Stoops inherited far worse.

Kirby Smart is an unknown. I've always thought he was slightly overrated because I could coach Alabamas defense. You just let them go play. They are the best of the best. The top tier players. Can Smart get those players at Georgia? Probably not but he'll get very good players. I just think it will be interesting to see what he can do without Saban there to hold his hand.

I know you have an agenda and thats ok, but to get on here and act like UK would be favored in the East because of all these problems is just ludicrous. The East belongs to UT/UF/UGA this year. 4th place is a reasonable goal for UK. So is a bowl game. So is 4-4 in league play. We are gonna have the most talent that a UK roster has had in almost 40 years.

Merry Christmas

Ok, where to begin....
Maty mauk, is not the greatest, but he is experienced and give missouri their best chance to win, hence the reinstatement.

As bad as Muschamp was at Florida, we still never beat them. I know he doesn't have the roster or talent at South Carolina, but he's still a coach we've never beaten.

And speaking of Florida, they just played in the SEC title game, so I'll withold judgement on Mccilwane (sp). Plus they are Florida, they will be certain to pull in a top flight highly ranked QB. They have the history, resources and recruiting base to do so.

UT's bat poop crazy coach is for real, recruiting at a very high level down there. They are still trying to build back up from pretty deep hole by their standards. They beat the living daylights out of us, embarrassed us. UT is way ahead of us, and will contend for the east title next year, so yeah, he probably is the answer for them as much as we might hate to see that.

Vandy's coach is a good DC, But the jury is still out on him, just as the jury is still out on our own coach. Plus, remember we lost to Vandy. So......

Smart held out for his dream job. UGA, can provide him all the resources in the world he needs to be successful. UGA will still be UGA, tough to beat and always in contention for the east title. It will still be a tough game.

Our window of opportunity to jump ahead of other eastern division teams closed, partly by not capitalizing on the foundation and streak of bowl games that coach Brooks took us to and making the kind of investment in the program we are now seeing about 3 years too late. The Joker Phillips era pretty much closed our window, that and losing way too many games where one or two plays cost us a victory. We kinda blew that on our own. The road ahead isn't getting easier.

Unless I am mistaken, Mauk was a senior this year.

Kudos on making a thread about reinstating mauk actually about bashing our staff

 

[Beatle Bum]

He has already improved their recruiting. Some lower programs are losing SC recruits that USCjr should have never lost in the first place.

I disagree on Jones. I think he'll crash and burn if and when other teams in the Least get better. Say what you want about Franklin - and I agree he won because the SECE was (and still is) awful - but he took advantage of it. Something Stoops hasn't been able to do. People can blame Joker all they want but Stoops is now the dean of football coaches on that side of the league.

And would you care to share with me what my agenda is? Let me remind you that there is a big difference in an agenda and an opinion.

And kudos to you for missing the point. If you keep your head buried in the sand long enough, your ears will be full of grit.

 

[hmt5000]

May mauk reinstated as title and then link to story about it but I missed the point? I think I got the point. You could of started a thread about "merry Christmas " and then bashed our staff. You could of linked to a story about anything and you would circle back to criticize the staff. I get it.

I like a coach who shows some emotion, but Muschamp goes way beyond showing some emotion, he looks on the verge of having a stroke on the sideline every game. He hired the OC he was fired with at UF, I don't understand that move, he hired UGA's WR coach who is a good recruiter but average WR coach and that's being nice. His DC has followed him to a 3rd, maybe 4th school and he and Muschamp should put a good defense on the field.

UF is losing a ton of 3rd year guys, a lot off of that defense, plus their qb is transferring. They had some things go their way this year or would have had a couple more losses.

UT is for real I am afraid, as long as Dobbs is healthy they will be tough to stop, he is fast elusive and hard to tackle, plus their other RB's are good backs. Their WR are a very talented group but Dobbs's passing skills haven't let them take advantage of that, their OL will be a year older. They could lose a couple of defenders but they have recruited very well and no one leaving is an all world type guy. I am hearing their DB coach is headed to Miami with Richt but he can be replaced.

UGA, we are hearing Chubb won't be back next season, and if he does it will be the last 5-6 games, have a new head coach, new offensive staff including DC, a new DC and 2 new coaches on that side of the ball. But will return 7 starters on offense 6 on defense with a lot of guys who played alot. Will have to depend on some frosh DL, if we can sign them to play a lot, if not start. On offense replace both OT, a WR and hopefully a qb, but he returns so we could have 8 starters return. With all the turnover 8 wins with a true frosh qb would be a good season. I think Smart is the guy, not in 16, but 18 will be our year to make a big run.

I don't know much about Missouri's new coach.

Vandy improved a good bit, Mason is a good coach and no reason to think they won't improve next year.

I get it. You think these guys are great because they wear blue. Until they arent wearing blue anymore. Then you and your ilk will be blaming them for next Guy's issues.

 

[Rockford]

Mauk is listed as a R-Jr on Mizzo roster this season.

 

[Rhavic]

Post about Maty Mauk becomes post about coaching incompetency all in the OP, and no surprise to anybody, Pedro Danger is the one spouting off through his blowhole.

Pedro, how about you give the staff a fair shake before declaring anything, alright? Yes, we know where Kentucky is, yes, we know you like bashing Kentucky, but I don't think you realize where this program was. It was completely devoid of talent, and had a poisonous mentality in the locker room. We had the worst facilities in the SEC, and no matter how down the East was, week in and week out, Kentucky was completely outclassed. Didn't win an SEC game in 2 years, and as bad as that is, the team managed to be worse than even that.
This program has had to come a long way, it still has a long way to go. It's very apparent that you don't enjoy the ride, so why are you here?

New coach said Mauk has another year of eligibility and reinstated him to the team.

 

[Onomatopoeia]

Yah I'm not sure if Pedro is a UL fan or another holetopper but you gotta wonder why the mods here (implying mods are here) dont remove crap like this.

Clearly not a UK fan. And, we could make a drinking game out of the times he claims others have their heads in the sand.

Kudos on making a thread about reinstating mauk actually about bashing our staff

I mean what has this staff done on the field that warrants so much praise and to not be bashed? I get so confused when people get upset at fans for bashing the staff. Some of these posts are just honest opinions on how the staff and the AD failed to capitalize on opportunities to climb the SEC ladder. I don't think that's bashing as much as it is being truthful. Just because people aren't praising these coaches doesn't mean they deserve praise does it? It kills me that people think these coaches should be getting all this praise solely for the simple fact they don the blue and white. But does wearing the colors blue and white make a staff good at what they do? I just don't believe so there's a lot more to coaching than just wearing the school colors I promise you that man. Just because they wear blue and white, means they deserve praise? So confusing to me.

But does every thread have to have that crap? No one liked the season. No one thought the coaches got an A. Stoops is going to be here at least 1 more year. Some people seem to want to burn the thing down so the next guy starts back at 0. Talent is upgrading and at the middle of Nov we will know if stoops is moving in the right direction.

How the hell does Matty mauk getting reinstated even end up with criticizing our staff? I get the feeling some of you guys will be 80 yo, sitting on your deathbed, and spend the time bitching about the staff.
