re: Stoops to UK

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

Apparently about 30 percent of all college coaches are Stoops..

Solid Hire for UK.

good hire!

Nice hire for the Cats.

This is actually a good hire for Kentucky.

Now comes the all important staff he assembles. UK made defense #1 which is good, now getting some talent on offense will make this a ballgame.

I am overall happy about this hire. I have advocated on here for UK to hire a defensive minded head coach. I would have preferred someone with HC experience, but I will take this hire.

I hope he hires a solid OC and DC, and UK will get competitive again quickly.

Word is, Stoops is bringing current OC from FSU with him Coley...suppose to be one of the best recruiters.

The article I posted said this was initially true but is not the case now. They mentioned someone else in the article though.

I think we could definitely snag some FSU recruits.
