Mark Stoops & Bob Stoops

If Bob Stoops were to come and coach at UK would anyone in the SEC be nervous? Asking around the nation many would consider Stoops a top 5 coach in the NCAA.

He has 149–37 Career Victories, 1 National Championship (2000)and 8 Big 12 Championships (2000,2002,2004,2006,2007,2008,2010,2012) not to mention played in 2 more BCSNC's. That being said, most people would feel some heat if Big Game Bob were to enter the league and rightfully so.



Now think about this. Before Stoops became a H.C. at Oklahoma he was the D.C. at Florida from 1996-1998. Like Bob, Mark Stoops has also followed a similar path by becoming the D.C. at Florida State and now is the H.C. at Kentucky. Considering the fact that Kentucky is not Oklahoma the transition will be much more difficult than in Norman.

Having Mark Stoops at Kentucky is the same as having Bob Stoops at Kentucky. It will take some time and recruits but as Mark says, "Kentucky Football Is A Sleeping Giant." & We at UK are very lucky to have Stoops as our Head Coach.

We will not win a National Championship at UK but we are going to beat a lot of people in the SEC.
