History , he's pulled stuff at every stop . Maybe he's better at hiding it . It's irrelevant because I'm ecstatic due to his miserable worshippers , I will stay happy about their suffering so long as they're in tantrum mode .
Whatever floats your boat. Doesn't make sense in my eyes but it's your opinion. A lot of upset posters on this board that's for sure. I'm happy about a win yesterday and the team improving. A lot of young talent in our program.

So because I'm a "new poster" I'm not as credible? Thank you for further proving my point about this board being ridiculous. I've been following these boards since 2005 and have just recently decided to post on here when I see fit. This is a time I see fit because people cannot seem to comprehend that this team is fighting and improving due to their blind hatred of Barney & Stoops. It's absolutely insane. Get over yourselves. Are you all going to cry and complain when we beat Mizzou, Miss St and AP as well? We lost ONE game we should not have this season. We can just as easily get one back. Get over it.

Yes you are less credible

I honestly don't care who the coach is I just want a team to be competitive in the SeC, make a bowl every year, and demonstrate consistent growth. Not this garbage of starting slow and missing opportunities or start amazing and stb against teams they should beat. I also would like to have a signature win each year. Is that asking too many? Honestly I don't think cats fans have outrageous expectation. We are just sick of decade after decades of losing.

I take it you didn't listen to Matt Jones talk about how Petrino was wanting to be interviewed on his show back in 2012 because he wanted this job. Matt was told not to do it because Barnhart had no intentions of hiring him and it would be a waste of time for both him and Petrino.
Matt Jones is a self-important, self-promoting blowhard. He says stuff to stir the pot to get ratings. I try my best not to listen to him.

Like I said Petrino wanted ANY job while he was unemployed. So I don't give a flying &@$" what Matt Jones said on his radio show back in 2012.

Why are you worried about arrests when the coach you covet hired his mistress and put Arkansas in a precarious position , you still wanted him but you are torn over one year of bad behavior ?

I'm not worried because Stoops is cleaning up the mess left by players who gave us that dubious ranking , for example Jason Hatcher is gone and he was a big part of the problem . Hard to understand but this is how it works . You recruit and hope they stay out of trouble but you can't predict that , it's what you do after the problems come that matters .

Hot rod for example lied and tried to get others to lie in a coverup attempt , let's hope Stoops handles the ranking issue better than that . I don't turn on my team because things went wrong , I wait and see how they handle it before I decide to criticize.
you can't give him credit for cleaning up and ignore that the clean up required is due to the players HE brought in. so it would appear you are the one with trouble understanding.

Good grief , I don't know why I even bother with you . I've already explained that coaches can't predict the future with regards to players getting in trouble . But go ahead and blame him for that if you want , you can also hang onto an argument I've already destroyed in my last post .

How can ANY UK Football fan not want EXACTLY this?!!!!

It's like I've stated the past few weeks, we UK Football fans are like beat pups, we've seen so little in the way of actual success that too many of us will settle for the mediocrity of 6 wins as a satisfactory season.

I WANT MORE!!

If we'd have hired Bobby Petrino four years ago it wouldn't be septic. Unless you hate winning football games and watching your QB win the Heisman Trophy.
why don't you just cheer for another team?

New posters? You might want to include yourself in that category. And its funny to see, the ones complaining about how we ONLY beat SC and Vandy are the same fans who said we had NO chance to beat either. Amazing how they cover their butts now by saying WE SHOULD have beaten both. This is why most fans don't listen to the unreasonable types, they have no real agenda, its just about being able to ***** about something concerning UK football.

Why yes, being as you're suddenly the arbiter of what new posters are, I don't believe it was a stretch to say a poster with under 25 posts is "NEW." You need to understand one simple concept, I didn't start a thread bashing anyone doubting this coaching staff. I'm just responding to it, because frankly I'm sick of being told I'm a bad fan. Just because I don't see the huge breakthrough of beating two teams we should have beat as some corner being turned yet. Yes, we SHOULD have beat both, because we have overall superior talent, and we played them at home. This is Stoops 4th year, and we have yet to steal a win where we had no business of winning, because of better coaching. NOT ONE in 4 years! I believe we do have the talent and players to be a 7-9 win team right now. I just have seen nothing to indicate to me we have the coaching to do so. So sue me! It's like a Groundhog day of mediocrity for 4 years now. It doesn't make me a bad person to want more.

If you're satisfied with what you're seeing then fine. If you're not satisfied but you don't think anyone should be held accountable then that's up to you I guess. Excuse substandard performance all day long if you want. That's up to you. But meanwhile, 80 miles to the west, our rival QB - who is coached by a man we could have hired - is going to win the Heisman Trophy. Because that coach doesn't give a damn about your bull shat excuses.
Do you really think you bitching on a board that no one except overly rabid fans read will benefit our program? How much have you ever donated to UK? Did you go there? If you aren't donating money, your complaints, while shared at times, do nothing but bring other people down. No one is making changes based upon a bunch of people with nothing better to do in their lives than get on a board and complain.

I knew that was the source and debated posting it . You're best bet is to become a UL fan if Petrino is the coach you've always wanted because you're going to remain miserable otherwise . I'd rather lose every game and shut down the program than have Petrino as coach . I got what I wanted when we passed on him and not for a second have I regretted that .
I really want to know what would have happened or made you miserable as a fan, had you hired Petrino ? Give me an example of what negative consequences UL fans are experiencing at the moment.

Worst case scenario, you win a few bcs bowls and or are in a playoff hunt while he is there, then he leaves. It's football and it's the nature of the beast. It is what it is.

For U.K. That would be a nice break from what has been going on in the football program since I was born. Honestly, I can't remember UK ever being a "good" football team. Maybe a few " mediocre " years but that's it. Petrino would have been a damn smart hire.

Not sure what an arbiter is, but if you followed the conversation you heard guys say we suck because of the way we won but yet those same guys posted last week that we weren't good enough to beat them so why be mad if originally you never thought we would win anyways? Put aside the coaching, that will take care of itself with the wins and losses but don't hope they lose just to get your point across because that will make you a bad fan.

Need to give it up X, I think
It's people like me that prevents the program from moving to corruption and a win at any cost operation . The vast majority of your group never attended UK , don't care about anything but the game and aren't invested in anything except needing a win to raise low self esteem . Rest assured that I will continue to support the schools position of not hiring trash such as Petrino , Briles or anyone like that . Go pull for Louisville if you want Petrino , hookers in the dorms , probation and overall corruption . Only to get beat when you play Clemson with the supposed best qb ever and a mastermind coach .
Petrino did NOTHING at Arky that broke ncaa rules and has never been accused of such, so please tell us where the corruption thing is coming from? Is he probably a scrum bag? Yes, but these kids don't care about his personal life they are looking to get to the league and there is no question that BP vs MS is a no brainer.

Yes, I am one of those that wanted BP , but that is water under the bridge and we certainly don't have an ad in the class of TJ when it comes to setting up a deal like this that is in his favor like TJ did with BP. Look no further than MB totally unnecessary contract extension when there was no pressure to do so. Can I make a guess and assume you would also be against Mike Leach?

I am an old long time poster. I have seen lots of bad football. Many of you are more interested in a coaching search than seeing any improvement in this team. Let's evaluate at the end of the season and cheer them on for now. Honestly, it would be good to shut this board down for a while.
This is where I'm currently standing as well. Before the Nmsu game I was ready for a coaching change especially with some of the available coaches out there. But we have seen drastic improvements since then and have transitioned back to "wait and see". I still think we need to win 6 this year. But 5 is enough for Mitch.

What about year 4, with losses to southern miss, last years loss to WKU, and having to REMOVE WKU because our administration isn't sure if we can beat them?

4th year, no better than we were in year 2.

We need a change or the mediocrity will only continue.


Even if it does change you'll keep on bitching. But, that's ok. You're just that guy.

He hired his mistress over more qualified people , that could have exposed arkansas to some expensive lawsuits . He violated state law when he did that and Arkansas fired him for it . Infidelity in the workplace , workplace favoritism and lying to the Arkansas AD as well . But you see posters all the the time either being ignorant of the situation or disingenuous by stating he only cheated on his wife . Only proving you guys have no idea what he has done and only look at wins and losses .

There are grown ups that look at more than wins and losses , people that have more responsibilities than to pander to fans who want a win at any cost school . You are never going to get what you want and you're not getting Briles either nor Leach . It doesn't matter what I want , I'm not the AD but I can more or less tell you what will happen when it comes to hiring pos coaches .

Don't want to take my word on Petrino , read for yourself

Those who refer to others as "pos" don't have morals. What a joke.

I included the definition because apparently you are simple I guess but that's okay because I want to help you understand .

mor·al
ˈmôrəl/
noun
plural noun: morals
  1. 1.
    a lesson, especially one concerning what is right or prudent, that can be derived from a story, a piece of information, or an experience.
    "the moral of this story was that one must see the beauty in what one has"
    synonyms: lesson, message, meaning, significance, signification, import, point, teaching
    "the moral of the story"
  2. 2.
    a person's standards of behavior or beliefs concerning what is and is not acceptable for them to do.
    "the corruption of public morals"
    synonyms: moral code, code of ethics, (moral) values, principles, standards, (sense of) morality, scruples
    "he has no morals"
It says nothing about Christianity , not being able to call a apple an apple or a pos a pos .

Anyone lusting for a coach that is a liar , adulterer and pos for a football win is quite frankly someone without morals .

He actually told that recently. Not sure if he said it back then or not. Matt jones is pretty well connected. Many people on here dislike him and your obviously one of them lol Regardless of whether he begged or not it doesn't matter. Mitch didn't want him and went another direction. A lot of people are still upset about it and that's their choice.
