Figured I'd put this here so we can discuss in peace. I love the hire. Think Mitch made a great hire here. Can't wait to see the staff.

Hell yes - that's a serious hire IMHO.

I love it. It's going to come down to his staff, though. The guy is hungry to prove himself as a HC. Now he needs to hurry up and hit the recruiting trail.

I'm a fan of the hire. The guy can coach a defense and that's what you need to win in the SEC.

What do you guys think this will do for recruiting? Will he accept some if not all of the current commits?

I would assume he has ties in Ohio and Florida so it should be good.

I hope he gets solid OC and DC to go with him. I'm stoked. I would have preferred a HC with HC experience, but he has a good name, and ties to the south and Ohio, so I'm willing to give him a shot. Defense wins games, and I'm glad he's a defensive Head Coach.

His OC and DC will tell me if he's going to be successful.

OC


Matt Jones seems to be VERY giddy about the OC. It seems he already knows who it is.

I heard someone on the radio mention that Stoops has reached out to Neal Brown...

Everything I've read/heard says he offered Coley first and he has a 48 hour window to decide. If not then Brown. I'd be tickled with either.

For sure. Glad to see a change in the attitude here. Hopefully it continues.

Hopefully he gets a good staff, and we got the funding we need. Recruiting should be better by default.

When we heard it was likely Stoops or MacIntyre, I would've been happy with either.

I will be glad when he finishes with the ACC Championship Game so, we can see and hear him. I think the press conference is at 3pm on sunday, but not open to the public. I really hope he doesn't coach in FSU's Bowl game. It would be some extra exposure for us a little, but I think he would be far better off here recruiting and hiring his staff and preparing his plan for UK Football next season. What say you?????
