We've heard enough excuses. Coach Stoops, this is your 4th year, your recruits, and we heard how good we were going to be during fall practice. It's time to show up, and if we lose 1 of the next two games, you should start thinking about resigning, because I promise you, the game on October 8th against Vanderbilt, the stadium won't be half full. You know what happened when the fans quit coming.
I wish you the best of luck in the next two games, but they are both very WINNABLE!

What exactly does M. Stoops need to do (or not do) differently? Specify.

To start with, allow Gran and Hinshaw to run the offense, and leave them alone. Next, work with Coach Eliot on the defense. Third, hold the coaches and the players accountable, NO EXCEPTIONS! Appoint someone, even if it's a graduate assistant, to make sure we have a full contingent of players on the field. We had to call time out against Florida because we only had ten players on the field. That is unacceptable! If you don't have faith in your coaches, get new ones. That is what he did with Dawson, and I don't think he had faith in Neal. He has to realize we do not have the players that Florida State has, but we have the players that Louisville has, but you would never know it by the results, and it all boils down to coaching. It's time for Coach Stoops to quit trying to fit a square peg in a round hole.
12375 CAT, these are some of the changes I would make.

All people wanna do is give excuses anymore Willie. It's sickening to see some of them, including when people wanna blame the fans. if Kentucky wants to win in a league with big teams they need to have the same mentality as those teams. other schools are rebuilding at the same time we are and now is the time to make a move. Georgia fired their coach last year, Tennessee hired butch when stoops was hired, South Carolina has been terrible, Vanderbilt has been terrible since franklin left, Georgia fired their coach last year. the east has been really weak compared to in the past, and no one wants to factor that into Stoops win-loss record while he has been here.
