Jeez yall really fricked over Stoops if yall are throwing football NIL money now. He never got the opportunity.
That is on Mitch Barnhart, not Stoops or boosters or fan support for Stoops. Stoops' legs got cut out from under him. Stoops has been seen around town and has publicly stated he's staying in Lexington. He is beloved here.

Tends to happen in today’s college football world when they essentially give him no nil.

I mean stoops had SO MUCH NIL capital last season he was able to sign Zac Freaking Calzada. There were absolutely top QBs in the portal last season, and his budget allowed him to use pennies on the most important position on the field.

But now… money is coming left and right… Kentucky looks to be signing a top portal class. Interesting you didn’t do this for your all time winningest coach.

Two way street. He appeared to be here to just cash checks.

A lot of the fan base was tired of the same issues (last 2 minutes of the half game management) and not being able to put points on the board.

Was it bad OC's or Stoops unwilling to give them the reins. Coen had two stints at UK as OC, moved on and looks like he turned the Jags around.

So....

I am glad things are looking up for UK. Stoops was just so stale.
