Winning the east is not an easy task, it’s why we’ve not done it under stoops. He’s a great coach to be happy to win 7-8 games a year but that’s about it.
I keep saying it. Our fans think they can apply the same entitlement we have with basketball to football. We can’t do that.
But his greatest trick is having defeated three ranked bowl opponents, after having played such a weak schedule!!
Baby steps? He's in his 10th year. The program is built. . . For better or worse
Every team in the sec has three cupcakes on their schedule.
It took 2 hall of fame coaches and 12 years for South Carolina to “take the next step”. That’s a program that has more instate talent than we do along with neighboring Georgia.
If we end up 8-4 with this ****** of an oline, that’s actually a sign of how solid the program is right now.
We are a half a second against Ole Miss and Levis sitting out from being 8-1 right now.

Its just very hard for me , and others I'd expect , to enjoy a game we did win but did is in such a way that most level headed people know if were not for pure luck on that roughing the kicker call on the 2 yard line we prob lose that game ... due to a special teams total system failure that even good high school teams dont have .. we are a SEC team that cant kick a FG . Or get snaps to the holder or punter correct . And this isnt some new occurrence . And the man who has a done a very good job here still has no concept of time management or a vertical passing game . Hell of a defensive coach , solid recruiter . but he''s as far as it gets . We either decide this as good as it gets or take a shot with a younger guy that understands modern offense .
Stoops has built about as strong a foundation at UK as i could imagine given our limitations. What we has set up is a program that can compete and possibly win an SEC East at some point in a down season for UF, UGA,UT. Or catch lightning in a bottle for a season and have one of those special teams. Missouri did it twice I believe, USC has done it. No reason why that can’t happen here at some point with where he has this program. But if you’re expecting to compete for an SEC title year in and year out I think your expectations are too high.
I can agree with you on the special teams aspect. It’s way past time for him to hire a special teams coach.
8-4 is top third of Power 5. While it’s not a great season, it’s still pretty good.
Next step is to not have a bad loss every year shd constantly be in the top 25 imo.
Well how many of these idiot supporters have seen a coach in their lifetime that can consistently do this?
Most of my life we couldn’t manage 8 wins from the MAC.
Maybe being “mediocre” as you call it is much better than winning 3 games and saying next year will be the year we make it back to a bowl game.
Woah. You’re giving waaaay too much credit to tenn. They are the entitled brat who has been poor for the last 10 years but just inherited money from a rich uncle.now we have to see if they invest smartly or if they blow the new money
Stoops right now - "I guess it's true, you either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain"
Why?
They aren't significantly more talented than us. In fact we are st many positions. It's coaching and scheme.
Anyone who didn't see that coming yesterday doesn't pay attention but he's years ahead of schedule and a decade ahead(and counting may never get to what they did thos year already) the Stoops model..
I mean it's better than a losing record...but this might be the best roster in UK history and it is disappointing that the best we may do is 8 wins.
I hate to say it, but it looks like you may be right. I've been thinking the same thing.
To make it to the next step Stoops MUST dump his offensive philosophy and realize how important scoring is in 2022. It's no longer a defensive game , but an offensive one.
I know YOU don't think so
But that staff has taken a team with less recruiting rankings in their 2nd year to a level Stoops hasn't sniffed in 10 and won't sniff ever
He made a couple crappy hires on offense, it sucks that Will played hurt, the OL can't block, and the OC was a dud when we were this talented
We can't even be entitled with basketball anymore.
MODERN is the most overrated and unimportant term. You can play winning football with any style as long as you have good players that execute. What even is modern? I suppose tenn has a modern offense and they got their **** pushed in by Georgia’s traditional offense. Mississippi state has a modern offense and they got their **** pushed in by stoops.
It’s a stigma. It means nothing
