For me, I think I was saying VM should have left for that position. I think Eddie Gran is UK GM or similar position. Good luck to the guy. No reason to have hard feelings just because he went to UofL. Heck if that is the case I better hate on one of my own as they went to UofL over UK.
He was recruiting for Nebraska as a grad asst or something he wasn’t a full fledged asst there. I think schools just have the leeway to have x number of labeled recruiters in their staff wherever it comes from.
That won’t happen. This will be Stoops’ last season. Write it down. He and Mitch probably already have something worked out.
Vince was more important to UK football than stoops. He handled everything. He was the buffer between the players and stoops. He was the guy who was connected in recruiting circles. He had the ear of the donors. He was the closer. Oh and by the way, do you know who hand delivered jasper johnson to pope? It was Vince.
I also forgot to even mention Josh Allen. It's just typical of sports fans to downplay the folks that walk out on the program. It's a coping mechanism
It was DJ Eliot. He knew someone in New Jersey that recommended giving him a look not much before signing day. They still had a spot or so left so he flew up there. Marrow did quite a bit but somehow over the years he’s just been given credit for every kid we’ve signed when it hasn’t been him. His contribution was in giving us a broad base of solid Ohio kids to have some depth in classes. Occasional high level guy but it was Clink, Sumrall and some others adding in the high end dudes in many cases. Several high end oline guys we had for a stretch were recruited by schlarman.
I agree. I thought Ansley should be in there with Clink and Sumrall. Marrow got some really good players, not all panned out, the DE from Trinity who’s name escapes me, he should have been a stud but lacked work ethic. Marrow filled out the roster most years with good players that needed a couple of years in the system.
A job is a job is a job. What if he left for Cincinnati, Tennessee, Akron. That is not stabbing Stoops in the back, that is not leaving a friend behind. How much loyalty is there for a friend before you can leave them. I mean I have been friends with several people since we were 6 years old. Now I am 60. I was actually paid by the same company twice (with friends that owned one of the companies) but we moved on. Guess what we are still all friends. Once someone leaves UK (Because we are talking about KENTCUKY SPORS), I do not care where they go and what they do. I do not hate them, I do not care any more. They are no longer my emotional worry (for games or anything else), when we face the team we they are now with I hope we beat the snot out of them. The rest of the year I could care less. He did not do anything to me or any single person on here by leaving UK. He simply made a job decision. He said hey I do not want to be here next year because if it all goes south (which is a 60/40 chance) he would not have a job. You ever make a business decision that made someone hate you? You ever make a business decision where you wish you would have left earlier than you did. I know I have.
Better off hiring some HS coach and pay him half a million. Would likely do a better job than Stoops at this point. Don't some of these private schools like trinity pay and recruit their players? We could get some big time hs head coach and pay him a low ball salary for 3 years, if it doesn't work out let him go, if it does, pay the man. Would be better than hanging onto Stoops at this point.
I know. That was intentional since he spelled Vince Marrow as Vince Morrow.
That would be amazing honestly, I just don’t see it.
