Somebody on staff turned down a power 5 job and other tweets

Perhaps Stoops was offered the DC position at Miami?
Just kidding, but makes more sense than anyone else on that staff getting offered a coordinator position at a power 5 school at this point.
Saw where the Ball St HC resigned and took the job at Maryland as asst HC/ST coordinator today. Buh very well could've turned down that job then Maryland hired the other guy. Very likely scenario IMO.
I'm guessing Ansley to Georgia with Smart since it was the one that was loudly rumored......But
This is not possible. It is clearly noted on these boards that none of our coaches are any good. No way those are true.
Turned down a coordinator job? That's really hard to believe. After seeing South Carolina hire Muschamp, I guess anything is possible.
Another site saying it was Andy Buh who turned down the position elsewhere. Expect a wider role for him next year.

Could have been, but Ansley name hasn't been mentioned much lately, most fell the DC position is going to be filled by either our OLB coach Kevin Sherrer or maybe Bama' ILB coach Tosh Lupoi with Kevin Shumman coaching the DBs and Rocker being retained as DL coach. Ansley may have been approached last week and didn't show any interest and we moved on, Of course getting a staff together isn't always as easy as one thinks its going to be, we lost a RB coach to Miami today.
Where did our offense and defense rank this year? And tell me how does that ranking prove good coaching? Schools make horrible coaching hires all the time.
I could see Andy offered the DC or Co-DC position at UK. It was clear when he was hired that Stoops wanted someone who had a DC acumen.
Didn't answer my question the OC being gone is completely irrelevant to the topic btw? Where did we rank in offense and defense this year? And did we improve between years 2 and 3? Or was it exactly the same? Nice reach though.
It has been clearly noted that the majority of the staff does not fit in here. Nobody has said every last one of them is horrible. Just most of them at their positions. Lol. I'm sure you thought it was some fine coaching when we tried to score 2x from 2 yards out against Vandy.
Wonder why Stoops has already gotten rid of 2 coaches so far if you think the staff is the crème De la crème?
What I would like to see is our DC move to coaching the DL get rid of Brumbaugh. The OL coach is bad too, he needs to go, move him back to HS. Stoops could be the DC of the team or bring in somebody with experience of being a winner at different schools in leading a D, extra + if he has had head coaching experience.
We only have 3-4 guys who are worthy of being at UK and of those I like Marrow with the TE and Ansley with the corners in what they have done.
You might have a coach who is excellent at coaching a DL but that doesn't mean he is good at being a DC. You can't stuff square pegs In Round holes and expect them to work.
Well I guess everything is fine and dandy if you think what we have seen is glorious and worthy of a nice 3.5 million a year salary. Personally I have higher standards than 5 miracle wins and a disaster following them.
I will say our offense this year regressed and became a burden for the defense. Our defense improved incrementally despite the added burden of the ineffectual offense.
Never said any of that. But just because I don't hate the staff doesn't mean I think they are perfect either.
This topic went south in a hurry...from a report of a UK asst coach turning down another P5 school to remain at UK and trying to determine who the coach is to pretty much trashing the OL/DL coaches. Typical of some.
I posted this on The House of Blue board but some may find it useful here:

I don't know why we are supposed to sugarcoat the ineptness of most of our coaches though? Someone acted like there was same great coaching going on so you just gotta point out the facts sometimes.
So the D improved, but still was not pretty to look at many games. To be fair a lot of that was due to our offenses inability to stay on the field for sustained drives consistently.
And look no further than you trashing the WKU coach who has done a helleva job. Lol you got some nerve. I call a spade a spade.
Well the D numbers will improve in rankings if you play teams that have an anemic offense. Some games they shut down because the special teams play was so bad. UT didn't even try after they got like 54 points on us mid way through the 3rd.
Georgia couldn't score very well after Chubb went down but didn't seem to have a problem against us. Miss St O is decent and they mopped the field with us. EKU was marching all over the field (div II school) UL scored at will. ULL seemed to not have many problems scoring and I think we were like around the 2nd highest amount they scored against an opponent. Mizzou, Vandy, Fl all had trouble on O against most everybody.
We did play one of the weakest schedules in decades and as soon as the competition got the slightest better we folded like lawn chairs.
I'd like to see how many 3 and outs we had against other teams and how other D's stacked against those offenses as well.
If your team cannot get off the field your going to have players rack up tackles, pass break ups, tfl etc etc simply because you going to have the many more plays run.
I think a successful D is one that gets off the field quickly without them scoring.

Typical.
If there is nothing to like about a program then maybe it is best to choose another program.
Well UK wouldn't have any fans left at all if this was the mentality of all fans the last 50 years. Someone's gotta cheer for em. Now that we're investing in it I just wish they would make better coaching hires.
You cheer? All I've ever seen you post is bitching about everything. I wonder why...
Have you looked at Marrow's resume? He's Claude Bassett part deux. He's not going to be calling plays for anybody anytime soon.
So now we've resorted to crowing about an assistant coach supposedly turning down another job. And everyone is so proud of themselves for the marginal recruiting successes of this staff. Hey coach, here's an idea. Why don't you try and hang your hat on something that really matters - like a signature win? Because three years without one is a long time.
It helps when you have Vandy, USC, Mizzou and a couple of cupcakes on the schedule.
The next oc will probably be someone nobody gives a flying poop about. Just another fall boy to burn up in flames when Stoops finally gets fired for not doing 2hat he proclaimed to do.
In other words the next two years will be utter ****.
