Cal shouldn't have to give a crap about football, although I think we could just give him Stoops salary and get the same or better results. We have supported this crap for 50 years and all we can get is a defensive coordinator with no head coaching experience to come here and coach.
would Cal make a difference???

You said, "Do resign and give back half of you pay on every job that you aren't perfect at?" referring to that Stoops and Co. did everything near perfect. I would like to point out that he was far from perfect, as a matter of fact, he was less than 50% perfect, and that is in only W-L area. Am I not understanding your post? If I am, I apologize.
So let's see. Let's choose between Miles or Pete Carroll. Just for for the hell of it, throw in Saban and Urban Myer. Pick among those four and UK is golden.
Not what I am saying at all. I am saying that if you make the statement that someone should resign their job and pay back money for not living up to the standards of certain people other than your boss, then you should do the same thing. That is why I asked the poster if he did at his job what he is saying Stoops should do..
I can't decide whether the OP's original statement or this one wins for lunatic statement of the year.
Considering Cal and Barnhart can't stand each other and never speak , I doubt it would do much good .
Very good point. I stand corrected. I also agree with that point 100%, we offered Coach Stoops the big contract, I don't blame him for taking it. I am just waiting for the results to pay off. I hope I don't have to die before they do. (tongue in cheek)
You keep using words like "not perfect" and "making mistakes." But that is a false description of what Stoops has done. He doesn't just make mistakes. He's a COLOSSAL FAILURE. If you're a COLOSSAL FAILURE at your job, you get fired. Plain and simple. If you have a huge buyout like Stoops, you have your employer over a barrel and the employer should hold the person responsible who gave Stoops this huge buyout. This is logical and sound reasoning, and you are so deep into denial and defending Stoops that you couldn't see it even if your life depended on it.
I think the issue is when even the casual fan can watch a game and see the lack of preparation, player development, game management, clock management i.e. things that can be directly associated with the coaching staff they realize that no matter who they bring in it won't matter. This staff is not a good group of teachers - period. They don't teach the defense how to shed blockers and have the proper technique when tackling. They don't teach the wr's how to catch with their hands, nor do they teach the oline the proper footwork and use of their hands when blocking - too much stabbing and grabbing which results in holding calls or false starts. We have a pair of 4 star QB's that cannot play well enough to drive us down the field versus Auburn, Florida, or Vandy for a win. We are up 21-0 on Louisville, and everyone can see Stoops with his fingerprints all over the offense trying to slow everything down to bleed the clock for 3 quarters. How as a defensive oriented coach do you not teach contain on the QB who runs the same play over and over and the DE bites inside every time rather than setting the edge and containing him inside? Who is coaching these guys? Was watching the Stanford last second FG thinking "if this was Stoops he would ice him about now." Pretty sad.
No he isn't. He hasn't been great, but he hasn't been a complete failure either. What a ridiculous statement. Now you quit letting your hatred of Stoops cloud you vision. I have stated many times that Stoops has made mistakes and that some things need to change. But he also has done plenty right.
No he hasn't. Even his recruiting is next to last in the conference. He's barely beaten our cupcake schedule and he's lost to UofL three straight seasons despite, allegedly, outrecruiting them. He's a complete and utter failure.
And as far as my hatred of Stoops - you can shove that one you know where, I've never said I hated him, I definitely wanted him to succeed, I just realized MUCH SOONER than you did that he wasn't going to get it done. I guess you need to accuse the rest of the fanbase on this board of the exact same thing, because except for you and a couple of 12 year olds, everybody else sees that Stoops is a failure.
you may be right, but the bottom line is WINS AND LOSSES. and sad to say, after 3 years he is no better then Joker. you do know what happened after jokers third year don't you?
I'm waiting for the next 'talking season' as Stoops calls it. He's going to have his "Call me when we're 2-10" moment. Bank it.
So five is no better then 2? We went from 2 jokers last year, 2 stoops first year to five and stayed at five this year. That trend seems alittle better then jokers of 6, 5, and the two.
As a marketing professional, i take over a company who is losing money, lets say75 percent. In year one I start my process of tring to turn this said company around and we maintain the exact profit/loss margin. We had been on a major decline, company was
The joke of the country, but we stopped the sinking ship. Next year we take our profit and loss to just a 20 percent loss. Show good strides and we are now moving on the direction. People are starting to take notice now. Our products are alittle stronger, but still in early developement. Year three, our product is getting a continuing to get a little better, but we've taken some risk to try and take it to the next level. This good be a marketing campaign that just didn't hit the way we thought, tried to switch the Branding of the face of our company (qb change, showing more risk on a fourth down early in second half of if a game and some other mistakes that just didn't on out.m). But we still maintained where we were. Our company has better resources to compete with our competitors but still looking for a break to be the next big thing.
Is this a complete failure For a company or are we trending up slowly. Yes we might not have a big as seen on tv product that just exploded to top of sales charts, but we are making gains.
Oh, for god's sake. Please tell me you're not really this delusional. Yeah, a guy who's won recent national championships and Super Bowls is gonna be interested in a notorious graveyard job like UK football...
Lord almighty, the level of cumulative stupid on this thread is truly something to behold.
you obviously aren't a football guy/ One way of measuring a coach is by QUALITY wins, another is PLAYER DEVELOPMENT, another is making PROGRESS as a program. This program is worse this year then it was last year. NO player is any better this year then last, and i would argue several have got WORSE
+1
That is the real issue - nobody has improved on the team or staff despite everyone being a year older with more experience.
I think he'd consider it, especially if Cal called him and gave a good pitch. It is the SEC.
Because I do know . Believe it or not there are people with more connections than you ( which is apparently Zero) to to the program . This isn't even some kind of well kept secret . EVERYBODY in the basketball department knows this . Why do you think they hired Willard as a basketball only athletic director . He is the go between for Cal and Mitch . That way they don't have to deal with each other . Cal knows that Mitch would have never hired him and Mitch can't stand it that the basketball coaching hire was taken out of his hands . This is fact .
It's the SEC in the same sense that Wake Forest is the ACC and Iowa State is the Big 12--long known as the conference's traditional graveyard program where coaching careers go to die.
Sorry, dude, but you really need to put down the crack pipe. Thinking that a coach would dump an NFL team coming off back to back super bowls for the perpetual train wreck that is UK football is one of the most insanely delusional things ever posted here.
And please quit with the "if Cal called him" nonsense. Contrary to what some of our fans seem to believe, Cal is not superman, he is just a college basketball coach, he doesn't have the power to make NFL head coaches bend to his will.

You do know that Peevy is more than a "Basketball AD", right? I am assuming that is who you meant when you said Willard.
