According to many on this board, you should never fire a coach unless there's a known championship caliber coach waiting for UT to call him.

I hear Tim Banks is holding out for a head coaching job. Maybe they give him a shout

perfect timing!

I suspect he was still staying until that ugly loss.

He's owned 38 million buyout. It was to be paid within 60 days but Stoops agreed to let KY pay it over several years. Stoops wasn't going to walk away and KY wasn't willing to pay it out within 60 days, so they agreed on increasing the buyout period.

You probably shouldn't fire a coach averaging 9 wins per season unless you can replace him with a known better coach.

That, however, has nothing to do with Stoops who averages about 6 or 7 wins a season.

Dan Mullen?

Well they're a Midwest school so he fits the culture better than LSU.

That is the correct decision by UK. Things would only have gotten worse. However, I think Kentucky is currently in the worst shape of any program in the SEC. I don’t expect that to be a difficult game for the foreseeable future.

You know how fun it would be if heupel hired stoops?

They can’t afford him. They’ll go with Stein or Hartline, I bet. I think Mullen would want too much for himself, staff, NIL. JMO

Mullen would be wise to stay away from the SEC or Big 10. Leverage a big NIL commitment from an ACC or one of the other conferences with an automatic qualification into the playoffs each year,

Stoops is one of the few coaches who would not change coverage against us and it burned him every year. Not sure that would be any better than what we currently have.

Hire him as an anti analyst. Whatever he says unless it's backed up by at least 2 others, do the opposite

The equivalent of keeping you’re gf after you catch her in bed with your brother but you just haven’t found the next gf yet.
