Why is everybody so down on Stoops. Dude has made Kentucky into a winner.

We didn’t get Woodward to hire a coach like Mark Stoops. We just didn’t. It’s that simple.

So scott woodward raised 25 million to fire O and staff and replace him with...

mark stoops?

He’s not LSU’s caliber. Period. We shouldn’t be in the business of picking up that plucky fella just looking for his shot. I’d also argue that Stoops has gone this long at Kentucky because the East is a shithole annually. He filled a void that SCar, Mizzou, Vandy, and UT couldn’t. He’s merely third place in a shite division because no one else will step up to the plate.

He seems like another Les/O type coach. Maybe just a slight tier above. What does he do well as a coach? Obviously he’s a decent coach, but I think everyone is tired of not having a coach who is elite at at least one side of the ball X and O wise.

Seems more like Les than O. Perennially have us 8-4 to 10-2.

Also the SEC east has been terrible during this stretch of them winning 7-9 games. Outside of us this year has he won an SEC west game?

Because this hire is supposed to have us losing one to two games MAX in a few years. In year 3 we should not be losing more than two games. And after year 3, it should never be more than two. That is realistic given our talent and resources. Stoops is at best a consistent 3 loss coach.

3 winning seasons in 9 years isn't good enough.

yes it is. O had zero winning seasons at ole miss.

Stoops is a good coach. He really is. I just don't think, as others have said, that's the move that Scott Woodward, a man well renowned throughout college athletics, came home to his alma mater to make

Have you seen the Sec East? Anyone could beat Florida, Tennessee, and South Carolina in the last five years. And that’s not counting Vandy and mizzou

29-45 in the SEC (played Vandy 9 times)
