i am starting to believe that mark stoops may be gone

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.

that is valuable information threadworthy rite thar

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.

Or, realizing she's a feminist when you are looking for a traditional marriage, but you stay with her because you're afraid of being alone.

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.

In theory if UK paid it in 60 days Stoops could be a defensive coordinator somewhere without worrying about breaking the contract unless it was written in.

Well if you have a coach who goes under .500 after a decade I’d agree. Luckily that’s not us

Funny how that works. Got to be more manly to be a feminist!

I hope not. He's a good coach

Then why does he get fired from everywhere he coaches at.

That's what all the colleges do every time. Yep.

Mark Richt has lost total control of Mark Stoops

Hey - how about Stoops to the Vols as DC?

Been fired one time. Research things if you don't know

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 is making $3.5 million a year at UNLV. Stoops was being paid $9 million a year at KY. Kentucky’s assistant salary pool was over $7.5 million. That was 8th highest in the conference, and more than programs like OU, Florida, Auburn, and Arkansas are paying their staffs. If they wanted Mullen, I don’t think money would stand in the way.

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

A school east of the mississippi river, and below the Ohio, is “midwest”? Do what?

How about no

I hear you, but I don’t think they’re going to go that big and include the other stuff. They have a history of starting at cheap hires. Stoops didnt start out that way. Maybe I am wrong.

But funding the basketball team to the standards they are used might stand in the way.

You think that's bad, I had a student once that thought Africa was a planet. True story
