Need someone to find out if he is in the cat walk. This will answer at least the question of whether he coaches the game tonight. You don't see him I'm sure Gran week be coaching the rest of the way. If he's committed some kind of serious off field atrocity then I don't see how you allow him to coach. It's a completed distraction, give the players a clean break and a fresh start.

I think he'll coach no matter what. The players and parents were revolting against BCG and we knew we were firing him for weeks........and he got until the end of the season

If the rumors are true Stoops will be gone. BCG didn't do anything as nefarious as the rumors suggest. Had he also done so he would have been canned long before the end of his 2nd season.

If the rumors are true how is he even still employed if he abused his position to take advantage of someone vulnerable? Just a hypothetical question. I would think if it's bad enough to get you fired then there's really no sense in keeping him to the end of the season and let it continue to be a distraction. Especially when you still mathematically have a chance at 6 wins. Jmho

Got off bus with his kids in hand, kissed his wife. You know, the same wife who packed up and moved out with the kids because of this rumor being so true.

Such garbage, all of this trash and those spreading it as such truth
Hope you're right. Did Petrino's wife leave him? Did Hillary leave Bill after the 7 affairs? Just curious.

Thank god that part isnt true. But based off of Justin's tweets and Jones's "most of" statement, something is up, Stoops is likely nearing the end of his time at UK.

Half of 12 million bucks can make people do all kinds of things. I hope the rumor is not true for his family's sake but we will have to let this play out.

Just because a portion of the rumor may not be true doesn't mean it's all not true. Maybe the packing up stuff wasn't true but the other things did happen. We're not going to get definitive answers tonight most likely. All Stoops showing up for the Cat Walk means is that he's coaching the game tonight.

But again, if it is that bad then why the hell is he allowed to coach tonight?

Radio broadcast just mentioned that Stoops and his wife are on the field interacting with fans.

Kind of a weird thing to point out. Not sure I've ever heard them mention that before.

I don't want Stoops to coach here any more, but gosh, I hope it is for being a bad football coach instead of what is in these tumors.

My semi-educated guess would be that if they are going to fire him with cause, then Human Resources would have to be on board for it so it doesn't kick in his buyout. Purely a guess on my part, but I've seen it play out that way.

Waiting on Julian Assange and Wikileaks to produce the docs.

The kind of thing you say to shut down rumors for people who have heard them. But without calling attention to rumors for those who haven't.

Then suspend him with pay while they "investigate".

Several million in alimony and child support coming my way, I could turn into Meryl Streep at the snap of fingers.

For the players' sake. Not the best move to tell your players their coach got fired the day of an SEC game. It's pretty clear why UK would wait until Sunday or Monday to make the announcement.

Apparently this has been rumored for days now. So it wouldn't be the day of the game.

The thought is UK wasn't expecting it to spread like this. A pretty dumb expectation on their part, but not impossible considering the parties involved. Stoops' family being there and him coaching the game doesn't prove that it's untrue. Like everything it's conjecture.

Alright. Someone fill me in (no pun intended) as I have no idea what the rumor is other than what I've read in this thread that he may have cheated.
