I know nothing of Stoops other than his family. If I have learned anything about college athletics - especially football - it is all about connections you have within the coaching ranks in snagging leftover talent. I would guess his brothers would be of big assistance in this department.

See whoever the Bowden son is that coaches at Akron now.

At some point we need to be positive. I know nothing about Stoops, but, I will give him a chance.

Only thing I did know was that Butch Jones wasn't taking the job even with all the posturing from the two sides..

 

Thank God. As a uk fan I want nothing to do with Butch Jones.

Hate the hire. Already said as much. Again, we watched HIS FSU defense give up 243 yards rushing to Florida last Saturday. That FSU defense will be more talented than any defense he will ever have at UK. They should have pulled his offer after watching HIS FSU defense give up 36 points to Florida. He gives up 72 points to Florida at UK. Just dumb. Music City Bowl my hind end. 4-8 here we come. He'll be gone in 3 years. Waste of money. Football mediocrity continues.

 

I agree, he has more pro players at FSU on defense than Ky has had in 3 yrs. A mistake but I hope it works out.

 

Will he keep any current staff, like Chuck Smith?

Other than just a few, all signs have been positive.

I'm hopeful and optimistic. I like the "Stoops" name and that he contacted UK with a plan! Let's be honest, we can only go up from here!

And he wanted nothing to do with the graveyard that is coaching UK. Fair trade...

I have been very critical in the past on who UK has decided to coach the football program. However overall even though I still think they should have done whatever they could to get Petrino, I am not to upset with this hire. This is actually the kind of hire I was wanting them to make when Brooks retired. I was wanting a hot up and coming head coach from a smaller school, or a top assistant from a BCS school. So we did go out and get that, and hopefully he puts a great staff around him who can recruit but also coach up the players too. So I am interested to see how this works, and won't be completely down on this hire like I was when they hired Joker. Hopefully after three years he is getting offers for bigger schools, because that means he is doing a good job here.

 

Stoops sounds like he has pretty much the same resume as Joker when he was hired.

According to Matt Jones...Stoops contacted UK about the job. Laid out a plan on how UK can be successful in the SEC.

 

That is what every coaching candidate does when pursuing a job. They all have some plan to present to their prospective employer.

No they don't.

 

And once again UK proves there's nothing their fans can't turn into a phrase, package, market and repeat until it drives the rest of America insane. I'm looking particularly forward to this one.

 

:lol:

 

 

Is that opposed to the pathetic ones UL has come up with that failed???

 

 

He's got you there, slow burn. :lol:

No they don't.

 

So, you are saying that during an interview that they say nothing about how they will do their job?

edit....

 

posting from iPhone, can come back to haunt you....
