I would say there is a decent chance UK is bowl eligible this year. If they aren't... well then Kentucky gets a new Head Coach, or most certainly should get a new HC.
Stoops has stockpiled some talent but this should be a bowl or bust year for him.

It probably hasn't helped the offense that they've had three offensive coordinators already under Stoops. It's Barker's time to put up or shut up at QB with Towels gone though and he has plenty of run support with Kemp and Boom (which I think is where Gran will shine the most at OC). The defense has improved but the stats don't show it as much because the offense left them out there all day. We'll see.
It really all hinges on Barker, the WRs hanging onto the ball (I'd argue that lost us the game against UF last season), and Boom staying healthy.

Probably less than five posters and lurkers combined care enough about Kentucky to read all of that.

And yet you've posted in this thread. Twice.

I'm not sure if Stoops is they guy for Kentucky but the next guy will definitely have some good pieces to work with.

I still like him but you may be right. I'd like to see him get bowl eligible because I think inevitably he's capable with enough time and a stable OC situation (that's been the biggest issue IMO).
If he doesn't get 6, he's gone. Even the basketball tard natives are restless. I would like to see them grab someone like Doc Holliday if they can't land a bigger fish. I've seen Bo Pelinis name come up but I feel like that'd be another Curry situation.

In your opinion is it Stoops or the AD that can't hang on to OCs? Its not like Kentucky has been dead in the water the last few years, y'all have started off hot and then collapsed.
Not to throw shade on Kentucky... but y'all should have gone bowling the last two years.

Neal Brown left for the Troy HC job, which I can't blame him. That's a move up. Dawson just didn't pan out and I think they cut bait before it got worse. There was no QB development nor WR development and some seriously boneheaded play calling given some of the offensive talent (especially at WR and RB).
Gran should be better but he's under a time crunch obviously. He made it a point to bring up working on WR drops and getting more out of the RB position so he "gets it" at least.
I don't know that we should've went bowling two years ago, but definitely last season. The Florida game was definitely winnable.

Beginning your obsession with UK early this year. Well done.

I'm guessing you don't know what talent is. But thanks for continuing to bump your thread about your UKobsession. It's great to see you have something to focus on.

I doubt anyone but Kentucky fans could name a player on their roster without googling.

As for Towles, I hated to see him go but I don't think he was going to get us Mike Hartline results even. Barker has tremendous upside, hopefully having Hinshaw on staff and dedicated to QBs will pay big dividends in his development.

You're awfully arrogant towards a program that owns Arky.
