March 4, 201313 yr Joker is a well respected offensive mind as well as recruiter.................He will be a well sought after Offensive Coordinator after this season.Thought the Horsemen stopped playing a few years ago.....that would be the only place after him...
March 4, 201313 yr Joker is a well respected offensive mind as well as recruiter.................He will be a well sought after Offensive Coordinator after this season. All true...and an OC is his ceiling unfortunately.
March 4, 201313 yr All true...and an OC is his ceiling unfortunately. Maybe so......................But I think he is going to make a lot of money regardless!!!!!
March 4, 201313 yr He inherited the best situation in that same time span as well.. I don't know how long you have followed UK Football,but from the 35+ years that I have been a part of it there has never been any continued success.Take Fran Curci,in his fourth year as HC he went 8-4,Peach Bowl win and finished 18th in the country. The next season the cats went 10-1,6-0 in the SEC and finished 6th in the country. His next four years UK failed to have a winning record. So I don't care what kind of situation Joker inherited,because there is a real good chance that whoever had of been coaching at UK the last three seasons would have probably had about the same results as Joker. I have no problem with Joker getting fired,but to say he is a terrible coach is insane... I just hope that Stoops can turn UK football into a consistent winner.So far no coach at UK has done that since Bear Bryant...:thumb:

He didn't have to have a winning record every year, but 2-10 is horrendous.

March 4, 201313 yr Guy Morris went 7-5 in his second season at UK.Rich Brooks takes over and goes 4-8,2-9,3-8 in his first 3 seasons...
March 4, 201313 yr Maybe so......................But I think he is going to make a lot of money regardless!!!!! Ok...are we talking about his financial portfolio or his ability to be a HC at a BCS conference school?
March 5, 201313 yr Ok...are we talking about his financial portfolio or his ability to be a HC at a BCS conference school? Joker took what many would argue is the toughest BCS coaching job in the nation and failed. There will be opportunities for him soon at the mid-major level, if he has any success he will be back at a BCS school.

March 5, 201313 yr Guy Morris went 7-5 in his second season at UK.Rich Brooks takes over and goes 4-8,2-9,3-8 in his first 3 seasons... Umm... probation?
March 7, 201313 yr What's it been, like nine UK coaches in a row that have left with a losing record? Let's be serious... As AA said, very doubtful if ANY coach has much more success than Joker did in his time as HC.
March 7, 201313 yr Umm... probation? Yep that is true...And when Joker took over the program,UK was starting to fall back into the same old same old cycle.6-5 record and a bowl loss.Rich Brooks saw the writing on the wall and got out before it got worse. I just think its crazy for anyone to think that Joker destroyed UK football when it's been broke for 50 years... Bill Curry came to Kentucky from Alabama in 1990.His last season with the tide he went 10-2,Sugar Bowl Loss and finished 9th in the country...Seven seasons at UK with seven losing seasons,he did go 6-6 one year. I guess when Bill Curry took over after Jerry Claiborne's 6-5 last season the cats must have been on probation? I really do hope that Stoops is the Messiah of UK Football,but I'm not going to bet the farm on it...Even if I owned a farm...:thumb:
