I am glad they hired a defensive coach.

High quality hire in my opinion.

I think MacIntyre may have been a better hire, but the more I read about Stoops the more I like it. He's from Ohio, has spent time coaching in both Ohio and Florida, and has the name recognition to get in the door with recruits. Interested to see what he does from an OC/DC standpoint.

Not overly excited, but I'm okay with it.

I think it's a good hire. Lets just hope that he works out and can turn things around.

Now lets see what happens to the stuff and what commitments are made to stadium improvements.

It's not a home run, but it's a good solid hire.

What do you all think he'll get paid?

Somewhere in the 2-2.5M range I'd guess.

I'd say a little more than that.

Based on real options it's a stand-up triple at least.

My guess is $3 million.

Has recruiting ties to both Florida and Ohio which is big for Kentucky. Now the question is, does he bring some staff members with him like Florida State's OC and some other members or does he try and get Brown from Texas Tech?
