And some of our fans will bitch about inconsistency in the offense when it's been a rotating door at OC.

I agree, and I fully expected Dawson to be back this year. Eliot was the one I expected gone.

I think it would take Stoops going for Eliot to go. They've been together awhile and in Eliot's defense he lost a lot of experience up front while trying to change schemes for the defense. Losing Lewis mid-season killed that squad, who hadn't looked that bad up to that point.

Either way, I have no idea who we go after at this point. If Joker would do it, I'd bring him back as an OC in a heartbeat.

No way Joker comes back. Plus, he has the stentch of NCAA issues as well.

Meh. Those are some pretty minor NCAA dings. And yes, I know he wouldn't be asked back or come back. Doesn't mean he isn't a better option than likely whatever shitshow will be brought in at this rate.

I would take Mumme back before Joker. Also, Stoops need to get a former HC that runs the fun and gun. Can't think of any who would fit that mold that is available.

So you knock Joker for NCAA issues then say you'd rather have Mumme?

Ok Mike.

Well Belle, Mumme never got implicated by the NCAA. And I was not being serious, but Stoops has to have a coordinator who has been around to help with the game management flaws.

With the right OC hire, the Cats could make a bowl game. Stoops has them headed in the right direction.

Does Kentucky go after a coach under the Air Raid coaching tree?

I know of a former Ravens OC that you guys should inquire about!

I'm not sure they have the quarterback to do that.
