December 1, 201510 yr A realistic and patient fan base but I think that is asking for too much. Why? he has more talent that any coach has had here in years. Joker was fired in 3 years.
December 1, 201510 yr These guys....... (warning-strong language, political incorrectness). Proceed with caution.
December 1, 201510 yr I'd let Coach Stoops stay at my house for free, if he'd just come to recruit in Florida more. Coach, I've got some nice digs. Really. I have.
December 1, 201510 yr Why? he has more talent that any coach has had here in years. Joker was fired in 3 years. Joker took over a good team. Stoops took over a train wreck.
December 1, 201510 yr Joker took over a good team. Stoops took over a train wreck. A good team? Maybe a decent team.
December 1, 201510 yr A good team? Are you serious? Compared to what Stoops took over, absolutely. What Joker took over, a team that went 7-6, 3-5 in the SEC. What Stoops took over, a team that went 3-9, 0-8 in the SEC.
December 1, 201510 yr Compared to what Stoops took over, absolutely. What Joker took over, a team that went 7-6, 3-5 in the SEC. What Stoops took over, a team that went 3-9, 0-8 in the SEC. This is true. So what's the excuse now? According to many, stoops has more talent than recent years and playing in a weaker SEC East that we have seen in years and still can't get to get to 6 wins.
December 1, 201510 yr This is true. So what's the excuse now? According to many, stoops has more talent than recent years and playing in a weaker SEC East that we have seen in years and still can't get to get to 6 wins. That's what we're trying to solve here for Coach. It's a group effort. I offered him my home. What you got?
December 1, 201510 yr Speaking of realistic expectations, I'm not dreaming of an appearance in the championship. I don't even want to think about winning the SEC, let alone the SEC east. I want to beat the teams we should beat out of conference, beat Vandy regularly, be competitive with the mid major SEC guys (USC, Mizzou) and beat them every once in a while. Six wins with 7 or 8 thrown in every now and again would be amazing.
December 1, 201510 yr Why? he has more talent that any coach has had here in years. Joker was fired in 3 years. Joker won less games each season. I think he won 2 in his final season. I think 3 people went to watch Joker's final home game. Joker would have been fired in two years had UK not beaten UT with a WR playing QB. 13/22 starters were freshmen or sophomores this season. This ain't basketball. I halfway wish he would quit or be fired so UK football fans could get what they deserve. Mark Richt ain't walking through that door!!!!!!
December 1, 201510 yr I agree with PP, Rat, & others who highlight the ridiculous expectations some fans have, as well as the difference between what Stoops inherited & what Joker inherited. We have to be patient because this is a longer process. Having said that, I thought the team regressed as the 2015 season went on. I'll grant that the schedule was significantly more difficult, but I'm not sure there's any area where the team improved from the start of the season to the end. And I think you can argue that many facets of the team got worse. There is a part of me that thinks Stoops is in over his head. Whether that's correct or not, he has to have one or maybe two more years to get a fairer, better picture of his performance. As to what he wants for Christmas, I'd have to agree with GrantNKY: significant upgrades to both the offensive & defensive lines.
December 1, 201510 yr That's what we're trying to solve here for Coach. It's a group effort. I offered him my home. What you got? [/QUote] he can use my gas card and hotel discounts
December 1, 201510 yr An announcement that UK will be moving to the MAC or the OVC so that they could compete for a conference championship? You assume they could compete their.
December 1, 201510 yr A realistic and patient fan base but I think that is asking for too much. How patient do you want them to be? Stoops was tagged as a "recruiter". What has he recruited here that has helped this team? Should be seeing improvement. Granted not SEC titles or 10-2 records, but improvement. Your not improving if you flip flopping QB's like they are shoes.
December 1, 201510 yr He secretly wants a pink slip so he can take his $15.9 million buyout and go home. That has to be the worst/best contract negotiation of all time. More $ to buy out Stoops than it would have been to buy out Les Miles. Exactly why the AD should be fired, he hired a clown, enjoy the circus.
