I thought this was a QB that could throw?  As bad as they were down to only have thrown 17 passes of which half were in the 4th quarter really has me scratching my head.

Is there a former beloved UK football player that is coaching college football, and ready to make the jump to head coach? (a la Mark Pope)?

I hear Boyle Co has a pretty good Coach?

Gerry Faust tried to make the jump from high school coach to Notre Dame.

Didn't work so well. Not impossible, but difficult.

BTW, is the Boyle coach a former UK player? (I honestly don't know)

I don't think he is a former player, but either way it was more of a joke than a serious comment.   High school football and D1 college football are different animals.

I'd hire Neal Brown or Jon Sumrall. And honestly, it probably doesn't get past Sumrall when the time comes.

Wow, that loss was absolutely shocking. I’m not a UK fan per se, but route for them because I have family who go there. If I was a diehard fan, however, I wouldn’t like the slap in the face from Stoops, particularly to the fans who “ponied up” for the collective and this is what they get. I think Stoops has done amazing things for Kentucky and he absolutely deserves credit for dominating Louisville in recent years and getting some wins against UF that the fanbase was starving for.

This is crazy though, absolutely unacceptable, and it seems like they totally whiffed on the qb position. It’s a shame because UK actually has talent. The ninth-highest paid coach in college football should not be losing to South Carolina by 25, especially at home. Regardless if South Carolina had a flukey first game and beats LSU this weekend, it’s still unacceptable.

The good news for UK this coming weekend is that Kirby doesn’t run the score up on people like Kiffin does.

Haddix played high school football at Breathitt Co. and college football at WKU and is very proud to be exactly where he is at!!
