Go ahead and just hire Stoops. They’ve done their duty and beat UF.

 

[Wickman]

Bring Scott in as a special assistant pls

Things are never as bad or as good as they appear, especially looking at one game. That game was as sloppy as any game I've witnessed in the Heuple era. I can't imagine that is going to be the norm going forward.

The best thing is, as bad as the play was at times, they still managed a win. It's much easier to correct those things after a win, a close one at that, than a loss. Coming close to losing is the best motivator to fixing things.

Best thing to do is look forward not backwards. Fix things against Akron and two weeks of practice and get ready for the slimey, cold blooded creatures from swamp land.

Under previous regimes, ERRYTHING could be going great and we’d finish with under 200 yards passing and maybe a TD. “Struggled” in this one and you see the stats.

What if he is lights out against Akron?

The QB controversy folks will be ecstatic! Fun!

Stoops wouldn’t go to Nebraska

Would kinda love for that to happen. But that would open up the possibility of Freeze getting back into the sec. Don’t want that at Kentucky, they may do more than beat Florida if that happens.

Probably headed to Nick Saban's School for Wayward Coaches.

I agree with your point, but everything didn't go against us in my opinion. We played horrifically and still won I think is a better way to phrase it. Refs didn't hurt us, injuries didn't hurt us, luck didn't hurt us. You could say most things out of our control went in our favor. We played well below our potential and still won, which is encouraging.

I thought we had a pretty good officiating crew. Hard to buy they were SEC.

I agree but "We'll match your current contract and bonus structure +50%, you'll have all of our resources available to you, and we are 100% a football school and behind you" could be enticing

Mark Stoops is 55 and just spent 10 years building Kentucky. I doubt he has another huge rebuild in him. If he goes anywhere it will be to a job where he can win right away.

 

[TN-POSSUM]

Got too hot in Nebraska. Poor Frosty



*what's Hugh Freeze up to? Or will Nebraska do what TN should have done a long time ago, call Gary Patterson?

 

[drvenner]

There was no bigger play than this one yesterday. Created the fumble that led to our FG that we had to have and basically knocked Slovis out of the game.

#16!

Top20 in y2!

 

[drvenner]

That looks completely random and completely fun to be part of. Boone is a big party town anyway. Happy for them.

 

[Orange Studs]

I hate to say it but there is a chance Hooker peaked last year.

He can still be good. But you might realize there is no upside.

I think that’s why coaches wanted Milton to figure it out.

I am not saying make a change. I don’t think you can do that.

I’m just saying improvement on last year light not be reasonable. But something similar would be great.

 

[butchna]

Sampson

Doesn’t lose speed after cuts…could feast.

 

[butchna]

Scott Frost fired.

 

[Fun coupon VOL]

This year has started off about like 2007.

Looking back at the 2007 season, the year of the upset

 

[drvenner]

Wow. I knew he was going to get sacked, but was sure they would wait until October.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Losing to Georgia Southern earned Scott Frost an extra $7.5 million lol

I said last week that I thought he could potentially be trying to get fired sooner.

Pretty unethical, but. . . it's gonna be hard for him to get another job with such a huge salary after his Nebraska performance. That job may be the last job he ever gets paid so much. I could see him realizing this and trying to cash in on that buy-out.

 

[drvenner]

Never hire your heroes, I guess.

I think Peyton would make a great QB coach her.....


Wait, wth am I thinking? Carry on.

I'm not talking so much about the offense although, no touchdowns in the second half is something I'd never see with this team, I was more talking about the turnovers.

They were unranked preseason

Some were predicting 9 or 10 wins and HH as a dark horse Heisman. I would consider those to be too much hype.
