On the same day, UK adds a new coach while the Big East adds ECU & Tulane. (Kentucky gets Stoops, Louisville gets poops.)

Did Kentucky think they were going to get someone better? I think he's of a good football family and has won a fair amount a DC.
UK is never a landing spot for top coaches in fooball

How many Stoops are there? This is like a scene in Spaceballs.

I do not like the idea of hiring a coach without any head coaching experience at a place like UK. At a place like UF, you can be successful because you are given unlimited resources at your disposal and are surrounded by folks who know WTF they are doing to become a winner. UK? Not so much.
With that said, UK is just not a great job and to get a coach who is from Ohio, has connections to Florida and a last name that gets your foot in the door, I am not sure any alternative is comparable (after Petrino of course). At least on paper, this is a great hire. If he can reel in a top 25 class this year and manage to keep together the younger talent, the program will make significant strides pretty soon.
The problem the program will have going further is, if he does make the strides that many anticipate, will he bolt for a better job once he recognizes the program won't make the commitment they promised and/or he recognizes the program is not going to compete for national titles? I think most know the answer to that question.

This is why he has a chance to succeed.

I've seen FSU fans who liked him alot more than Jimbo. Even some that want Jimbo gone and Stoops moved up to HC.
Same FSU fans appear to be pretty pissed now.
Take that for what you will.

He could weigh 500 lbs and I wouldn't care. The man is a great hire for us.
