Stoops did a lot of good here...even though he drove a lot of us crazy at times. But it was time to go. Had to be done.

Now go get Will Stein or Chesney. Maybe Brian Hartline is a candidate worth watching too
Nope. No Kenny Chesney. Guy is a fraud. Wears wife beaters, straw hats and shark tooth necklaces. Crappy musician and and even worse football coach

I truly hope that Mitch has zero part in the new hire.

He will be mostly remembered by me for ending the UF streak...and beating them a few more times after that. What a curse on UK football that streak was.

Finishing 3rd in the conference, 2 10 win seasons, giving UL beatdowns and Ls when the Crds were favored, the Lynn Bowden comeback season, beating PSU, Iowa, and others in bowl games, ...running it down people's throats, then hitting over the top for big plays, the guys we've put into the NFL, the defensive stops and big plays, ... taking the Catwalk to new levels, getting the upgrades done that should've happened under Brooks..., 8 straight bowl games...

He'll be remembered by me for all of the great games, the gimmicks, and the recruiting. I won't forget the uncovered receivers, bad clock management, and playing not to lose that cost us games, but I won't throw out the baby with the bath water, either.

I enjoyed and appreciate what he did here. All of the asholes that made it personal and degrading because they were wrong about what he could accomplish won't change that for me. I wish him the best, and hope he finds an even better gig, fixes the things that cost him this one, and rebuilds his relationship with his family with the time he has.

I'm not giddy that someone got fired. It needed to happen but obviously, I'd have preferred the scenario of Stoops maintaining what he accomplished. Honestly, MOST of my frustration has actually been directed at Mitch. I went out of my way to praise Stoops after we beat Auburn and Florida, and honestly thought that he'd actually make a bowl.

I was referring solely to the KSR show, not you personally. Agree on the rest 100%. If he kicks those FGs against Texas, this whole thing is turned on its head. I feel bad for him, but it's not like he isn't getting a big payday, and he made the decisions along the way that landed him where he is. Stubbornness is a tough B**** to beat.

That's why I put 0-11 in parens. To infer what I was trying to truly get across. I admit to goofing up UF. Those other UF winless seasons were 1904 and 1946 for them. That and USC were non-tied seasons (in fairness, the OT rule started in 1996, so no tie would be had).
Vandy never went 0-fer?

i looked. surprisingly ... their only 0-fer was the covid season in 2020. and they used to be pretty good too a long time ago. all the brainiacs running plays like the "annexation of puerto rico".

Matt Jones doesn't seem to have discovered wall art/decor.

He may be afraid he'll offend someone by what he puts on the wall.

Also, notFromhere is making me feel like I'm getting scolded by my Dad. LOL (perhaps because I might deserve some portion of it)

Cmon get happy.... we'll make you hap-peeeee

Kumba-ya...

Suddenly, I feel like Ricky Bobby doing his first interview.

Will Stein

There is always risk, when you hire someone that has never been a head coach, but the consensus is that he's going to start getting pretty good offers after this season or next. IOW, he's on a lot of national radars already; primarily because of his knack for developing/elevating quarterbacks.

So, we'll see. If not him, I at least hope we go with someone that comes from the offensive side of the ball, understands QB play and can "scheme" guys open.
