Surprised they did it, that check they have to cut in the next two months is gonna sting. 

They apparently made a deal to spread it out over several years.

That would be very generous of Stoops.

Kentucky with the big brain, waiting until their preferred options are no longer on the board. SMORT.

Stoops has other business interest in Kentucky. By doing that, if he did, he maintains a lot of goodwill with the fans and potential customers.

1. Dan Mullen (UNLV HC)

2. Rhett Lashlee (SMU HC)

3. Chris Klieman (Kansas St HC)

4. Bob Chesney (James Madison HC)

5. Jason Candle (Toledo HC)

6. Spencer Danielson (Boise St HC)

7. Will Stien (Oregon OC)

It is being reported just now on WKYT that about two hours ago according to Dave Baker the 37 million owed Stoops in 60 days has been he believes negotiated to now be paid out of 5 or possibly 6 years.

Stein, Lashlee, Helton, Shanahan, Leftwich, and Hartline are the guys I like off the list. I’m not sure how BBN would handle Briles. He is a different type of guy. 

I’m kind of surprised that Stoops was fired and not. His contract was the only thing I saw keeping him there. I guess it will be easier paying him over time the way that it’s been shared.

I hope they hire Will Stein.

1. Hartline (National Champion who is a known recruiter of the same pipeline Kentucky has had success at. Brother played at UK and is on staff)

2. Will Stein (Kentucky guy who grew up a UK fan with deep ties to the school)

 

My personal preference is Hartline for the reasons I gave but I’m fine with either. I don’t think they will get past Stein when they reach out. 

Dan Mullen is the guy for the job, he's done great at UNLV. 

So is this official...? I go to ESPN and it still says "Expected" to fire Stoops?

 

Who could actually do well at Kentucky?
