Mark Stoops

But you are CERTAIN Pruitt isn’t capable? I understand it sucks not being a good team right now, but like it or not Pruitt has the pedigree and the staff to bring success. He BEAT Kentucky at their BEST.

Which makes his failure even more disappointing. He has every advantage in regard to coaching staff and is still failing miserably.

I'd be happier with Bob Stoops.

 

[mrredskin]

you cats posting his record.... look at year two. 5-7. We aren't touching that record and we have better talent than UK could even think of, comparatively. Stoops showed progression. JP showing regression.

Hindsight is 20/20.

If we were starting a season 0-2 season after a 2-10 (like Stoop’s) first season you would probably feel like success was UNLIKELY.

But, you are more than willing to make your judgement about Pruitt and his staff and say to would rather have Stoops.

Dunno if serious or not? If so I’ll have what ya drinking

Don't be shocked if Tennessee goes 2-10

He's happy at UK and has a great situation there. All he has to do is have winning seasons because they care a lot more about Basketball at Kentucky.

In other words, it's exactly like TN now.

 

[TJSVOLS]

Give him time. At least we know he is capable of it.

And you know for sure that Pruitt is not ?

The people around the Tennessee athletic department and administration care much more about football than the people in Kentucky's athletic department and administration.

It was a joke. Hence the blue fonts.

10-win season at Kentucky with recruiting classes ranked far below Tennessee's. Pay the man 5.5 million.

No on Stoops. If you gonna sell your sole to the devil. Then go get a proven coach, Urban Mayer. He would have Tennessee in the top 3 in the country pretty quick. Look at his past jobs.

 

[sechamp2012]

Why?

Because about half of the UGA base wanted the next level. To be fair there were quite a few on here that wanted Chaney gone the first time he was here.

[SportsFreak]

I don't think it would take that long given our advantages.

What advantages?

 

[1986sugarvols]

Wrong Mark. I would take Richt over stoops

How long did it take him to get to this point? He didn’t get fired in year 2, and he coached a great game last year against the Vols.
