The only people questioning the firing of Stoops are those that want to see us keep failing

I only question the firing because it is not easy to reach Stoops' highs here.

We hadnt won 10 games since the 70s. Thats not easy most places, even less so at UK. Will Stein be good? Maybe. If he gets us bowl eligible again thats really all I ask but I will be interested to see if he is able to match Stoops' best seasons

I suspect we won't be as physical as we were under Stoops (and thats unfortunate) but maybe Stein's got something planned idk. Shame football is a year away

Yeah, but Stoops' highs were behind him. It was time.

I posted about this. We need to be big up front and get a good dc and coaches and both score and play defense. If not, we are Tennessee.

Definitely. NIL killed what he had. Still, even his new low didn't reach Joker level drop off which is kinda impressive given i think he lost some pf his passion after the whole A&M deal.

Im interested to see how the new hire goes. Hopefully he is able to do better. Program is gonna change alot though

Being Tennessee would be a big step up from losing to them 56-34.

Unfortunately a lack of those things here probably means we are worse than Tennessee

We don't ever want to be those orange inbred filthy hilljacks.

Stoops called him to take your mom out since he ain't got time for it. Big buyout funded vacation coming in Florida

Would be hilarious if we retained our DC but just replaced the head coach and entire offensive staff

Are we acting like Stoops didn't have to go?

A Louisville guy with no HC experience and minimal OC experience as the HC at Kentucky. Oof. This is the worst hire for SEC teams this offseason.
