The shitty contracts in basketball and football, the JMI NIL agreement that hamstrings the whole AD, refusing to firing Stoops, and now missing on Sumrall?

That crusty motherfricker should be run out of town.

Nah. He’ll end up being successful at Florida. It’ll be Howard Schnellenberger all over again.

Absolutely, y'all should use his handling of the lifetime ban lars jurgensen got as grounds.

extremely low bar

Basically if he doesn’t come close to making the playoffs next year Stricklin will be fired and he’ll be soon behind him

Barnhart should he gone this year. Stoops next year.

Too many open big coaching jobs this year. Half of them are going to hire disappointing coaches they dont really want. But they'll all get at least 2-3 years to build a program.

Which means the next 2 coaching carousels should be slow, and will be prime opportunity for a program like UK to hire a coach that in other years would be snapped up by a bigger football program.

It’s going to end up being more expensive to get rid of him next year despite the buyout going down about $9 million. A good chunk of the assistants are now on expired contracts.

Next season will likely set Kentucky Football back about 30 years.
