It was only a matter of time before Cal shared his thoughts on the newest member of the Big Blue Nation, Mark Stoops:
I want to congratulate and welcome Mark Stoops to the UK family. The #BBN is excited to have him.
— John Calipari (@UKCoachCalipari) November 27, 2012
I’m a big fan of the Stoops family. I spent some time at Oklahoma w/ his brother Bob & met Mike when I was at Memphis & we played at Arizona
— John Calipari (@UKCoachCalipari) November 27, 2012
I have not had a chance to personally meet Mark but I’ve heard nothing but great things.
— John Calipari (@UKCoachCalipari) November 27, 2012
Mark and I have spoken over the phone a few times and he knows that the full force of the basketball program will be behind him.
— John Calipari (@UKCoachCalipari) November 27, 2012
Of course Cal spoke to Stoops. He’s the best recruiter alive.

The Godfather of UK athletics welcomes you Coach Stoops.

How about we are “Stooping to new highs”?
November 27th, 2012 at 6:02 pm
We’re going to have a defense. It almost seems too good to be true.

Barnhart’s servng Helper without the Hamburger.
Stoops MUST bring in a TOP OC or this is just icing folks. No cake yet.
November 27th, 2012 at 6:09 pm
Hopefully Stoops had the contract written so that he can hire anyone he wants on his staff.
Then he bring Petrino in as Offensive Coordinator.
Double the Ginger, Double the Fun!
We could run the Ginger Spread and the Ginger 3-4… and maybe a little Wildcat Ginger for ole’ times sake!

6. Geez…enough with the Petrino crap. It ain’t happening. Get over it already. Embrace the change.
November 27th, 2012 at 6:19 pm
He just looks like football. If I had a movie that had a head coach role, I would immediately cast him.
November 27th, 2012 at 6:21 pm
#8 – CaptObvious – Free country = You can chose to focus on me, I can chose to focus on our offense
I’m not judging you.
I’m looking at the gap. We just hired a Defensive guy as our Head Coach. The single most important decision NEXT…
THE OC

Why not embrace a Ginger Army!
November 27th, 2012 at 6:24 pm
Is it me, or does this guy look just like Mr. Belding from Saved by the Bell.
November 27th, 2012 at 6:34 pm
It’s like looking in the mirror
November 27th, 2012 at 6:59 pm
Here’s hoping this thing works out O.K.
November 27th, 2012 at 7:01 pm
So do we need to tell Stoops to stay away from MJP or she not into white guys
November 27th, 2012 at 7:02 pm
Hahahahaha

15. – i think she is in to anyone that gives her the inside scoop while inside her. Taste the rainbow

Not overly impressed by the hire. Last time Kentucky hired a “hot” coordinator his name was Joke(r). Kentucky is not the place to get on the job training so to speak. The SEC is not kind to those unfamiliar with head coaching jobs especially at Kentucky.
November 27th, 2012 at 7:28 pm
Great Hire!!!!! I am extremely excited about Kentucky Football now!!!!
November 27th, 2012 at 7:30 pm
Not being cynical, and I love Cal and I’m excited about the hire, but what was Cal GOING to say? “Mark Stoops…meh.”?
November 27th, 2012 at 7:31 pm
15 & 17, that kind of unsubstantiated talk is not cool. Come on ppl, have some class.
November 27th, 2012 at 10:19 pm
