    Louisville was a pretty good team this year, but it was obvious that Kentucky was not ready to play in a way we haven't seen before, not even in any of the previous seven losses. It's probably been since the worst days of the Joker era that we've had a team sleepwalking through a game like that. Whatever this staff was doing all week, the players themselves obviously rejected it.

    When I look at Kentucky, I see a program that is moving backward. The respect that we had earned under Stoops, is almost gone in my opinion. For him to blatantly state that we haven't a choice as he is returning next year is a slap in the face. I believe he has lost his way, this team, last years team, were just a shadow of the teams he had built in previous years. Say what you will about Shane Beamer, he has and is building a strong culture of winning at South Carolina... he reminds me of Stoops when he came to Kentucky and started what became a revitalization of a program that had been a laughing stock in the SEC.. I don't see Stoops hungry to build a team that could challenge for the SEC championship ever. Just sayin!!

      He’d be owed 45M if he is fired. That’s why he knows he won’t be fired. Our boosters aren’t going to put 45M on the table to separate from the head coach then also pony up a 5yr 40M contract for a big up and comer coach and another 5-10M+ that any new coach would demand in the NIL portal. Thats a 90M check in 1yr. KY boosters just don’t have that type of high end NIL donors. I think you see a lot of staff changes and most of the players with stat lines in 2024 are gone to the nfl or other programs. I doubt another big time program tries to recruit him away from UK, so you hope he can make some solid coaching changes/adjustments and deliver that 7-5/8-4 season that we’ve grown accustomed too.

    This is three straight seasons of underperforming with this season being by far the worst of the three. Stoops has shown no signs of turning things around for the better. He gave us absolutely nothing to hang our hats on by the end of the season. In fact, the last game was the worst performance of the season with clear signs that he has lost the team. If Stoops had shown any signs of improvement by the final game of the season, then maybe you can justify giving him more time to turn things around. However, as of today, things have only gotten worse and I find it very difficult to justify moving forward with Stoops.
    Now, of course Stoops isn't leaving on his own at this point. The man makes $9 million a year here and at this point, leaving for what would even be considered a latteral move would be difficult for him. If he leaves, he's more than likely taking a cut in pay and "prestige" if you will. It will have to be the University that makes the decision to part ways and I fear that it may take the fans forcing the University to make that decision.
    If Stoops is getting another year and looks like he is, then we better see major improvements next year. Going 6-6 and simply making a bowl game doesn't cut it anymore. Stoops is currently the longest tenured coach in the SEC and is the 6th highest paid coach in the SEC. In my opinion, he doesn't have to win a SEC title or make the college playoffs but fielding and ending the season year after year inside the top 25 is a must. If he can't be competitive enough to at least end every season in the top 25 with all things considered, then it's time to move on.

    Cat fans are a strange breed. In basketball they had the best players in the country, couldn’t win titles, and wanted to get back to kids proud to play for Kentucky instead of NBA talent kids. Now in football they want good transfers, and a coach who understands the new college game. Kentucky is an average team who may pull off an upset occasionally, but will usually be fighting Vandy for the bottom of the SEC. Now with Oklahoma and Texas in the conference that’s their fate.
