Mark Stoops is a dead man walking. He will be fired by the University of Kentucky. That's a certainty. The only question is if we will piss away an additional season unnecessarily or if we'll promptly do what has to be done after the loss to Louisville.
We're where we were in Year 2 of the Joker era...
- Thread starter gojvc
- Start date
Unfortunately he will be here next season so if he did go to a bowl game next year, he'd still be our coach
I think it's fair to compare him to Brooks instead of Joker.
Brooks took over a roster that had depleted talent and numbers due to probation. By year 4 his program was rolling in the right direction.
Stoops took over a roster that had depleted talent and numbers due to Joker's inability to recruit talent and develop a roster. This is year 4 for Stoops. Some aspects of his program are rolling in the right direction, but that has not translated to wins.

The comparison to Joker was in regard to the inevitability of his firing. As for Brooks, CRB won the Music City Bowl in year four. That isn't happening this year.
And South Carolina is 3 of them. How embarrassed do they have to be about that?
