Stoops fine with Lamar Thomas' trash talk as long as he produces results

Stoops-LamarThomas It's been six months since Lamar Thomas left Louisville to be Kentucky's wide receiver's coach, and he's certainly made an impression. Thomas, a former standout at the "The U," has lived up to his boisterous reputation, doling out trash talk whenever possible and taking on UofL trolls on Twitter with glee. Thomas most recently ruffled Louisville fans' feathers by telling fans at Saturday's Women's Clinic that he much prefers Mark Stoops as a boss than Bobby Petrino, and when asked about the comment both on KSR Monday and at today's kickoff luncheon in Louisville, Mark Stoops feigned ignorance. "Really, he said something?" Stoops said, claiming that because he's not into social media, he hadn't heard it. "If it was just the flare, I wouldn't be very into it," Stoops said of Thomas' antics, adding that he wants Thomas to get results from the wide receivers "by any means necessary." The wideouts better have a great year, because I don't know if I can live without Thomas trolling Louisville fans: Screen Shot 2016-07-28 at 11.41.55 AM
