I really hope have this terrorist thing under control now! I blame BTI… Or Tony V. Clear Channel hasn’t been clear since!
Can we just hire someone already? We can’t afford to wait much longer, when do you think it will be, Matt?
STOOPS!!!
Derrick Dooley v 2.5
November 26th in the year of two thousand and twelve…a day that will live in infamy. Yes indeedie and y’all good Americans!
who wants Petrino has no morals or values. Would it be ok with you if your Dad cheated on your mom? He is the low of low!!
Well, well, I’ve been listening to local sports talk here in Montgomery, AL like I always do in the morning, and guess who is “closing fast” to be the coach at Auburn? That’s right: BOBBY PETRINO!!!
So, Mitch shouldn’t talk to BP because no one else is going to hire him, huh?
ACK! I was going to listen to Falugia Sports Radio about the new Camel Jockey Recuitment for the Gaza Bombers and i have to listen to this!
be kicking ourselves, when petino beats up on us in the sec
6, I’m not necessarily advocating for BP, but a lot of what we’ve been told is simply not true (swinging for the fence, he won’t get an SEC job, etc.). That’s the point.
Hopefully Ryan gets a Turkey Burger or something his fat butt was bigger than Santa in the twitter pic.
This coaching search reminds me of Tubby’s recruiting. We’re in with a few 5-stars, strong with a few 4-stars, but a chance we have to settle for a 3-star.
Somebody tell me a nice place to eat at myrtle Beach. wife is not happy im listing to KSR on our vacation!
If Butch Davis is holding out for, lets say a UT job, do we want someone like that who might not stay but for only 2/3 years?
I actually hope that he does end up coaching in the BCS bowl game. They would certainly talk about him during the game, giving further exposure to the program.
backtracking now – Kyle Tuckerâ€@KyleTucker_CJ
Things changing. Stoops apparently is still in play and UK pushing for a quick resolution.
12- That’s perfect.
Matt, far be for me to take up for the Kyle Tucker Band but I don’t think his “source” was claimed to be within UK athletics. He said a source with knowledge of the search, whatever that means.
who cares about bobby petrino? life will go on in college football without him as it has the last two years. he is not bear bryant. bear bryant is not walking throught that door people, and neither is bobby petrino. since when did he become the only guy on earth that can coach? i know what he can do….he can go visit other jobs right in the middle of our season if he were coach, he could leave mid season if things werent working out, he wouldnt keep his wang in his pants in lexington, he cant keep his Harley up either which is just as embarassing. i mean if you are man enough to ride a Harley at least know what you are doing. besides, co-eds have no clue how to hang on the back of a Harley. get an geniuine biker chick for petes sake not a poser blonde. thats all petrino has to offer anyone……IMHO
So Charlie Strong is being considered for the UT Coaching Job, think he will jump?
Tee Martin the OC coming back? lol
22. please go away, you’re an idiot if you really believe that.
EAT IT, TERRORISTS!
Now that we have defeated the terrorists, can we still have FSR, UK virgins of the day, Al Jazeera Kentucky?
I believe it Joe and have no intention on being quite or go away.
Free Tee Martin!!
I won’t believe anything until I see an official announcement from UK. Every new report about ‘insert coach here’ is immediately contradicted by a new one within 30 minutes.
Haha. Jones is such a baby. Deletes my post because i called him out on stealing info. When is mamadou gonna commit? Haha
Seriously.
The antithesis of Ryan lemmond is open to new ideas and I also read on my own without having to be told to do so. I also embraced the homeless by training homeless people to sell run down real estate properties, thusethus eliminating homelessness, I am a hero yet I don’t seek recognition.
Defensive minded Coach like Stoops with a exciting OC like Neal Brown.I will take that.
Andy Reid will be available soon.
Through diplomatic channels we sent John Short to negotiate with the terrorists who hacked KSR website. We are happy to announce he convinced them to hire Randy Jenkins as leader of their jihad and in return they will no longer hack KSR. Once again, John Short proves he is a great American and accomplished this during his 15 minute break at Kroger.
How long till our football players are stooping ice cream? I’ll hit submit and listen.
Why don’t we go for Andy Reid…
….and now we have our first horse farm confirmation.
Do you think Petrino would take OC job
All UK coaching hiring rumors (basketball and football) always involve the horse industry…
If Jimbo Fisher leaves FSU also, could Stoops bring any recruits with him to UK?
Didn’t a UK football player tweet out just the word Stoops last night?
Here’s my take on the coaching search. Mitch Barnhart, doing the search by himself, had his choice as soon as Joker was fired if not before he was fired. Barnhart puts out a few names, some get interviews, some don’t, the ones that do get interviews get offered so little money that they can’t reasonably take the job. Barnhart, saying he can’t find anyone to take the job then turns to an old friend, Philip Fulmer, who will agree to take the job. Sounds like how we ended up getting Rich Brooks huh? That’s how Barnhart rolls. Get ready for Fat Phil Big Blue Fans!
I also form my own opinion by observing at least three points of views before I form an opinion of my own. Thusly I only speak after I think.
Stoops would be a GREAT hire. Florida recruiting connections, one of the top assistants in the nation. This will energize the players and excited the fanbase, unless you have your head stuck in Petrino’s _____.
STOOPS OR BUST!
Charlie Strong’s success can be tied in large part to his ability to bring several recruits out of FL in his first class. If Stoops could do the same that would be an added bonus.
31, I can get behind that!
Danny needs to star in the next making of Grumpy Old Men. Does that guy ever get happy about anything.?
OK I will say once again, I care about UK football, and basketball, I am a UK fan,I could care less about the character or moral values of any of our coaches. I believe that Bobby Petrino will get a job in the SEC or somewhere else, just a matter of time, most schools will interview him no matter if SEC told them not too. Most schools in the SEC want to win, they will go with best available coach, just like UK did when we hired CAL, even though everyone said we shouldn’t. That being said for whatever reason, Mitch wan’t going to go after Petrino regardless of the situation, thats just the way it is, so I will accept whoever he chooses, and still cheer for them, because i am a fan of UK.
If UK is looking for a new secondary coach, Kyle Tucker might be a good choice. Putting on a back-peddling clinic right now.
37, Petrino may be about to get the Auburn job, so no.
http://auburn.247sports.com/Article/Auburn-coaching-search-The-latest-1127-103656
Danny always sends his food back.
Add Schnellingberger (sic) to the Grumpy Old Man cast too.
Hey buddy….Google is your friend.
Matt is doing some serious yellin today.
Schnellenberger probably won’t come on this show. I remember years ago when he was the coach at FIU and was going to play UK. Matt interviewed him and let’s just say, things didn’t go well b/c Matt didn’t realize he had a hot mic.
#50 I’m sure is complaining get his food spit on a lot by servers
I still say Sean Woods is the watermark for in your face intensity that UK NEEDS in a head football coach. Can’t wait for the Renovate!!!
#54 Could this be a part of an upcoming uncensored podcast?
Is Stoops considered for the job if he has a different last name? My concern with him is that pedigree is weighing more than anything else. Having said that, I’ll support whomever is the coach.
That first foorball game against “somebody stinky” is WKU in Nashville. Not sure how “stinky” they are now…
I wish somebody there could sign me up for those tickets. HA! I could go to Lexington on Saturday but South Bend on Thursday would be tough.
Hey Matt,
All the buzz is about Stoops (which is a good thing). Does this make MacIntyre seem like a lower choice if he comes to UK?
I dont mind Stoops, but to think he is going to bring those players he recruited at FSU to UK is absurd Matt. Im sorry, no Florida football player is choosing UK over USC,UF,FSU,Miami…. this guy has padded defensive numbers in the ACC. Look at what UF did to that “vaunted defense”. And Florida has a very lack luster offense. The only thing that is good about this dude is his last name… and the fact he has ties to Florida.
I am not against him, I just dont think he is all Matt is hyping him up to be.
57 – Probably not. It wasn’t that big of a deal, but the coach did take offense. Back in the 1570 days.
Unfortunately for Mitch, he will always be disliked because he won’t hold press conferences, blames fans for his hiring failures and feels that he is above criticism.
Stoops or MacIntyre: The best coaches out there. #RISE
Kirby Smart.
Also, everyone should watch this video. Now. Shannon should play this to open the next hour. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57Sb14dyaUc
If Forde is reporting that there will be major investments into the UK football program it must be true! God knows and Thammel are the last two people who would report anything positive if there was even a chance it might not be correct!
We sent in Seal Team 6 to the hut. Problem solved.
Hey, Matt. My sources tell me Joker Phillips has been in talks with the athletic department at Glasgow High School for a position on the football coaching staff. We think he’d be a great fit here in Glasgow. What do you think?
Kyle Tucker just said he may have gotten bad info and if so he apologizes. Give the guy credit.
freedom isn’t free. costs a buck o’ five.
INFIDELS
The Podcast restorers are Great Americans
Matt: The answer concerning Barnhart is NO. He did not pursue the best coach available – Bobby Petrino. I will support the new coach but will continue to crush Barnhart.
Matt, you better watch that Drew character – he fits the physical attributes of a middle eastern terrorist. Anyone who can grow a thick beard in one day is very suspect.
Petrino will be at Auburn before the week is over. UK football fans get the “shaft” again. I’ll watch the Cats on TV but Mitch won’t get another penny of my money until they get stuff right.
Joker to a High School? I bet Willie Taggart would give him a job. Where will he end up?
Matt and the gang posting crap on here that noone in the SEC is interested in Petrino. Bullsh!t!! But when have they reported that someone is interested in him??? Never!! They just keep protecting Mitch and helping keep the fans off his a$$. And another thing, if Ryan Lemond had a set of gonads there would be no way he would let Matt talk down to him and belittle him on the Radio. Grow a set Ryan!!
This caller is on crack. “Mitch really did his homework.”
**Matt, you’re an idoit. Why would you want to see Auburn get Petrino when we could’ve had him?
Big ears?
At least if Petrino goes to Auburn he will only bash our heads in every other year rather than every year like Tenn or UL.
wait, wasn’t petrino already going head to head with saban. . . you know. . . while the coach of arkansas. . . which is in the SEC West?
Matt that is such bull crap statement about Petrino.
Stop tooting your own horn Matt. Who cares who was right or wrong about this. You still don’t know for sure who will be our coach.
Would like to have had Petrino here but he would leave Ky in a heart beat for another more attractive HC job. If those Auburn people think they are getting a long term commitment from Petrino,,,,LOL,, they are nuts.
Matt’s happy Petrino goes to Auburn? Won’t we have to play Auburn eventually? Petrino vs the entire Stoops family, Mike MacIntyre is a total mismatch!
who is the deal with pointy ears….who is the prospective OC he keeps talking about?
OwensboroDavid you are making Owensboro sound stupid buddy, just chill out and accept our role in SEC football, Be open minded and you will prosper.
BRING IT ON, LETS GET IT OVER WITH ALREADY
What the hell is wrong with you people? KSR posted what an ESPN blogger said about Petrino and SEC jobs. Calm the hell down.
I understand that some people want Bobby Petrino. He’s NOT GOING TO GET THE JOB! Are you a Petrino fan or a UK fan? Get over it and move on. GO CATS!!
Would be wise to hire on Trinity coach Bob Beatty as the new offensive coordinator. That is one way we could steal James Quick.
When did Bobby Petrino become Chuck Norris?
Has this guy ever been an AD? Plus don’t trash Murray St., that’s my alma mater.
BREAKING NEWS: KENTUCKY SPORTS RADIO REPORTS DEREK JETER TO BE THE UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY’S NEXT HEAD FOOTBALL COACH!!!!!
One good thing about Petrino to Auburn is that only the uber-delusional will still be staying UK could have hired him if they wanted to
97 saying*
This is the most enthusiastic I’ve heard the KSRGang and callers in a while. Excitement in the Commonwealth!
At Flor DAH????
Mullen was under Urb at Florida.
Bobby Petrino would of took the job at UK the first week but after that he realized he could get a better job… If we get Stoops do you think he will coach FSU in the Orange Bowl or will he come straight to UK…
Matt – Do you think someone from the Athletics Dept is feeding bad information to Kyle Tucker on purpose just to mess with him?
about OC… Who works for somebody with big ears?
Mullen was OC at UF
Max Smith WILL NOT be the starter next year!
Kent St. is not that good, you’ll see if they play Florida in a bowl game. UK played Georgia close too and watch what Alabama does to them Saturday.
Listen to Paducah Patty! If you are still whining about Petrino, GET OVER IT.
Stoops won’t leave his team before their season is over, but he will start collecting his coaching staff and reaching out to recruits.
MacIntyre hasn’t been contacted by any other school. There seems to be a lot of faith in Barnhart’s football hiring prowess at KSR.
http://www.mercurynews.com/sjsu-spartans/ci_22069226/san-jose-states-mike-macintyre-no-contact-from
Kent St. in a BCS bowl? They are 17th in the BCS… They would need to jump 5 spots or so to get there. I don’t see it.
What a joke that the BCS games would be this year with Kent. St. in one game and Louisville/Rutgers in another. I mean, seriously, who is looking forward to that junk?
104- Neal Brown…Texas Tech OC under Tuberville.
109 — They need to jump just one spot to 16th.
Stoops is great friends with James Coley, who he could bring for an OC
Aaaaaaaaaagggggg
To all of my U of l friends and their media. ENOUGH ENOUGH ENOUGH!! You didn’t have The now most valueable playerGorgui D. For the Duke game. Sorry Siva your 3 years of the best point guard in the world are over. Wasn’t Duke missing the 7 ft plumped and a pretty good freshman guard for that game too? Beating/thrashing that has to be weak SEC Missouri team to death without their best player Dixon and I think two other suspended players not worth mentioning? Have you have been out of the spot light soo long that your wins and defeats that your opponents missing players aren’t a factor like yours?
I used to think D Definer (sp) had perspective also
Im other horse news: Calvin Borel just gummed the words, “Mark Stoops”
Which Homerun Burgers are you guys at?
Wrote about it, like to hear it, here it go…….
I will be the first to say I was pissed that we weren’t trying to get petrino because none of the other names being tossed around excited me at all. Having said that, Stoops is the first name that I am excited about and would back 100%! With the right staff in place I think he could do great things at UK. May take a little longer than Petrino would have to get us there but this is the first non petrino name I’ve heard that I think can and will raise UK up the SEC ladder in football. Get Stoops!!!!
He is going to be coaching at UL when Charlie goes to UT.
I’m ways two Stoops ahead.
114 — What? Plumped?
I’m always two Stoops ahead.
Mark Stoops looks seems like a great fit if he gets a good offensive coordinator and the pic they p[osted looks like he dips. lol
I shall never be fired for I shall quit thee first
117- Excellent.
Apparently the rumors are true.. Billy Donavon is said to have sold his horsefarm that he bought back in 09 directly to Stoops. His wife is picking out curtains at the local Bed Bath and beyond.
Stoops also has a great relationship with Tee Martin—- What about him for OC?
Matt, you sound very giddy this morning!!!
Is it possible to hire Mark Stoops today, but permit him to still coach the ACC title game this weekend?
BlueClues:GET A CLUE. Obviously you don’t know anything about football. If you did, you would realize that Petrino is the best coach out there. What point that I made, was I wrong about? Auburn is about to hire Petrino and we’ll whiff once again. UK football can be good. Look at how much interest this coaching search has got. People care, but the fans are sick and tired of getting crapped on. I hope Matt Jonesy is ready for the backlash from the fans once Mitch hires another dud.
This ain’t civil service. If the coach can’t hire his own staff then you can’t hold him accountable for his tenure.
When we hired Mumme we could have had Bob Stoops
When we hired Brooks we could have had Sean Payton
And we pass on Petrino this year
That is why we are Kentucky
You know, you can get a Retired Jersey of Tick Rogers up at Fan Outfitters. O wait, HE SUCKED TOO.
Neither finalist is a homerun hire but I’ll be happy with either Macintyre or Stoops. If they’re not triples, they are at least ground rule doubles.
132- We also turned Urban Meyer away when he left Utah…
David – Get over it. If you want to whine and complain that we didn’t hire that creep who has consistenly left programs in shambles, then go somewhere else. Petrino isn’t coming to Kentucky, why don’t you figure out where is he going and go with him.
G-Unit – I would love to see Tee back in Blue. Could definitely support him for OC.
128 — I’d probably think he’d coach this week, but not coach there starting next week. I’d think he’d make the decision to start the transition to Kentucky and certainly not be there for the bowl. I’d think Fischer would pass Stoops’s responsibilities to another defensive coach for the bowl. There is no way you’d waste that much time coaching another person’s team while you’re doing nothing for your own team.
Tee Martin has absolutely done nothing to prove he can be a good offensive coordinator other than recruiting. I don’t think he would be the hire. Just my personal opinion.
HI I’m Robert Petino I’m full of shite, it’s literally spewing from my lips yet….yet I still love you slapdick smurfs who are dense and stupid enough to believe i’d actually consider your HoopToothed Football wannabe school. KEEP ON BELIEVING
To everyone saying UK has missed on big time coaches in the past: Given the state of UK football and its position in the SEC, what makes you think these other coaches would have picked UK over where they went?
I won’t say that UK hasn’t missed opportunities in the past, but saying that every coach that was available when we needed a coach and ended up being successful somewhere else seems pretty ignorant to me.
Frank Shoop has no idea what he is talking about. He just likes to criticize people in the media without any real idea what he is talking about.
See how easy that is?
I like either Stoops or MacIntyre over Fulmer that’s for sure but I don’t see how you can handcuff a guy by telling him who he can hire as OC, the UK job is not that good to hold that over a coach’s head. I’m sur Stoops knows plenty of young guys that could be OC.
Everyone wants to hire Stoops, why??
Against Florida:
Kentucky gave up 38 points and 403 total yards.
Florida State gave up 37 points and 394 yards.
I want a upgrade, but I want a upgrade of more than 1 point and 9 yards.
Florida State may be ranked #5 in total defense, but they’re playing against the ACC for crying out loud. They have 1 other team ranked in the top 25 (Clemson) and they were beat by a depleted South Carolina team. Out of 12 teams in the ACC, only 4 have winning records. If he was that hot of coordinator he would have been a head coach a long time ago. I need help on this one.
Matt…way to set your sights high
Mark Stoops needs to be a lot better than Mike Stoops. Mike Stoops was terrible and a hot-headed idiot while coaching Arizona.
Mike MacIntyre not coming he said yesterday hes not even been contacted http://www.mercurynews.com/sjsu-spartans/ci_22069226/san-jose-states-mike-macintyre-no-contact-from
Bill. Find another team to support.
Bill is right. I will be excited when we make a REAL hire
Why is it every time Ryan makes a point his voice sounds like he is 6 yr old pleading to a teacher not to whack him one?
137 – Thanks!!! That’s what I was thinking; he probably “owes” it to FSU to coach the title game, but then would “owe” it to UK to start the new job next week.
Can we not all get along? Willie? We are all brothers
Please play the recording from your buddy Ryan!
UK doesnt have a shot with Miss St., Vandy or Tennessee. While they suck, they still are on a completely different tier than UK. UK HAS A LOT OF WORK TO DO BEFORE WE INHERIT 6 GAMES.
This dude is right Matt. He isnt being a pessamist, he is being a realist. We is what we is…even if we get a new coach, UK footballs ceiling is 6 MAYBE 7 wins.
That guy has the answer. Hire Petrino’s brother.
THIS JUST IN- We just tracked it, Bill was calling from a small hut in Jerry Tiptons Back Yard.
I don’t understand people who get on here and listen to the show with the only goal of being pessimistic and complaining about Matt Jones. If you dislike him that much, why the heck are you on here?
Matt- How many times have you said that UK will never compete in the SEC? Can’t blame Bill for being pessimistic.
Check my name with members of the Athletic Committee…. Youll find my name….
Matt, the Bob Stoops thing was started by you on your post-game show over the weekend. You didn’t say he was coming, but a lot of ppl ran with that.
Hoop-Toothers rule!
159. Excellent point.
158, I don’t dislike Matt, but he has been inconsistent at time during this whole coaching search thing, so he is not above criticism.
Just like the Oklahoma fan that called yesterday saying he hoped we got Bob Stoops! Matt says as long as we get A Stoops! We need to get a good coach, the best coach available, not just the name!
I am a hoop-toother and proud of it.
145 – totally agree… people dont realize that… and Stoop’s defense is loaded with 4 and 5 star talent….
didn’t joker do that to you matt? didn’t he tell you to talk to him when he’s 2-10?
121# yeah fat fingers and lost glasses make poor typing.
About as sad as spending ones time on an apparent rivals page attempting to be removed from petty banter while trying to bait.
Frank, that doesn’t mean you have any idea what you are talking about. Check my name with people around the NFL. You’ll find it. Get off KSR if you just want to sow discord among the UK fanbase. If you are on the athletic committee, you should be kicked off because all you want to do is trash UK. Disgraceful.
See how easy that was, “Frank Shoop?” I could write “Coach Cal” in there too if I wanted… or “Joe Craft”… you’re just a nerd behind a screen, lol.
I’ve missed the Truth! Good to hear from him again.
MacIntyre had to be a good communicator! That’s how you get good tips when you’re a Shoney’s waiter!
A rational call from the Truth? What is going on here?
At Miami, Stoops was credited for developing several first-round NFL draft picks, including safeties Sean Taylor and Ed Reed, as well as cornerbacks Antrel Rolle, Phillip Buchanon, and Mike Rumph.
I love it…The Truth is laughing at his own jokes!!!
Look at IU’s schedule and tell me they can’t go undefeated. They have 7 scheduled road games. SEVEN…is that unbelievable??
UK is Stoop’s 3rd option,
#1-Arkansas
#2-California
#3-UK
168…. I just dont understand?!?!? I was hoping to get some answers on here
I take what I can get and all the little jiimmies should take a love lesson in life and y’all will fly with that advice. SPICE IS ALWAYS NICE!
Their first road game this year is JANUARY 20.. shaking my head
164 – Fair point. Matt has given a different name every week that was “likely to be UK’s next coach.” I criticize him when he deserves it, but many on here only want to rag on Matt regardless of what is happening.
178 – I looked at it. They won’t go undefeated.
McIntyre doesn’t excite me at all. He turned around who.. SAN JOSE STATE? Isn’t that like turning around Faith Bible College?
Frank, I can believe that. I think UK offers the chance of jumping into the prestigious SEC, but as much as I would love to have Stoops I can definitely see it falling through. He has more recruiting connections in this part of the country, but I think it would be hard to beat out Arkansas for the same guy.
In all honesty, Stoops would be a great choice as far as recruiting is concerned. MacIntyre would not be able to recruit.
Gabe called Larry Lover’s show for years wining about not Hiring Mike Leach…until about a a month ago.
Stoops has gotten atleast 1 top 10 defensive player the last 4 years and a ton of other 4 and 5 star players and still give up 400 yards to Florida… Rick Minter did that against Florida with 2 and 3 stars…Also stoops plays in the ACC they are terrible atleast when UL got Strong he was the best Defensive coordinator and in the best conference…
IF UK WANTS TO SPEND MILLIONS OF DOLLARS FOR A 1 POINT AND 9 YARD UPGRADE FROM WHAT UK DID AGAINST FLORIDA, BE MY GUEST. AND THAT IS WITH A 4 AND 5 STAR LITTERED DEFENSE. UK AINT GETTIN THAT KIND OF TALENT.
Was there any consideration to Dave Doeren? Not the most exciting candidate but seems comparable to some of the names we have heard.
189– I like Gabe. The guy is a good caller. I’ve heard him for years on Larry Glover and have grown to respect his calls.
All KSR bloggers I believe a terrorist is still amongst us, he is constantly negative…Be Alert!
If Stoops or MacIntyre fall through I hope Barnhart opens up to people like Kingsbury, Doeren, Caragher, Andersen. I’m just afraid Barnhart will end up with Fulmer and that’s bad news.
183, I’m referring more to his inconsistency about Petrino, repeating the “swinging for the fence” mantra (apparently that was never true…if so they would have at least given Petrino a look…again, not necessarily advocating for him, but WAC coaches does not = swinging for the fence), and things like that.
191 — That Florida team improved tremendously as the season progressed. Not even close to the same team we played.
Sorry I have to repeat this!!!! I REALLY DONT UNDERSTAND THE HYPE?!?!?!
Everyone wants to hire Stoops, why??
Against Florida:
Kentucky gave up 38 points and 403 total yards.
Florida State gave up 37 points and 394 yards.
I want a upgrade, but I want a upgrade of more than 1 point and 9 yards.
Florida State may be ranked #5 in total defense, but they’re playing against the ACC for crying out loud. They have 1 other team ranked in the top 25 (Clemson) and they were beat by a depleted South Carolina team. Out of 12 teams in the ACC, only 4 have winning records. If he was that hot of coordinator he would have been a head coach a long time ago. I need help on this one.
Yeah but Gabe is like the blowing wind, 75%of the time he’s worthless and just hurtful.
Wikipedia says “On November 27, 2012, Mark Stoops accepted the job as head coach at The University of Kentucky.”
FlightAware.com
YES! First plane rumor I’ve heard!
OMG. Are you serious? Geraldo Jones.
I’m not believing it until Stoops buys a horse farm.
Who cares who our football coach is? I’ll believe they’ll be good when I see it. Until then, I’m concerned about winning ‘ships in basketball.
The tail number is blocked for that plane
Mark Stoops just seen looking at apartments at Grand Reserve
I miss the door.
I bet Kyle Tucker wants to beat the living crap out of Matt.
198 None of those stats change the fact that Stoops may be the best option that would actually accept an offer.
Matt there is an app for Iphone that does that — its called flight aware. when a plane files IFR flight rules you can look them up and watch the departure time and arrival times.
RICHIE FARMER HAS JUST BEEN NAMED HEAD OF LOST ITEMS AT ALL AIRPORTS. AUCTIONS WILL FOLLOW. STOP.
Mark Stoops resume:
http://www.seminoles.com/sports/m-footbl/mtt/stoops_mark00.html
Billy Donovan still has a horse farm in Lexington for sale if Stoops is interested…
Matt seems very excited at the prospects of Mark Stoops being the new coach. I hope he has a better record than 2-10 if he comes otherwise Matt may be disappointed.
Matt says UK football can never win but he is excited.
Ok…will Stoops hire a fun/exciting offensive coordinator?
I never believed Mitch was interested in Petrino. From what I know (which isn’t much) Mitch basically despised Petrino and wasn’t going to take a chance with him because of his character issues. Mitch knew Petrino through U of L and he was way too similar to BCG and too much of an off-the-field liability. I’m very, very, very glad Petrino won’t be at UK. Not that this is even relevant, but I live in Baton Rouge and Petrino is more despised around LSU than Saban due to his character, even though Saban pulled the Pitino on LSU (going pro then coming back to LSU’s biggest rival).
#216. You’re right! He seems like he’s more excited than anyone else about Stoops!
Christmas comes early for UK football, new facilities, new coach, new hope? God bless us everyone, no matter the hate in your heart, God loves you as well.
I’ve got a feeling! OOH OOH!!
HEY MATT!!! UK FANS THAT SAY…”WE WILL ALWAYS LOSE, cause this is Kentucky”…LISTEN UP…30years ago…do you think anyone thought UCONN Basketball would ever win?? How bout DUKE Basketball 50 years ago they sucked….Miami, FL Football…in the late 70’s THEY WERE A LAUGHING STOCK….ALL IT TAKES IS AN A.D. and a COACH that BELIEVE in the Program…and…some Luck….and UK COULD BE A WINNER….UK FOOTBALL COULD EASILY BE A 2nd Tier SEC FOOTBALL TEAM and every 3 to 5 years ACTUALLY COMPETE FOR A NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP….IT IS POSSIBLE!!!!!!!!!
Just watched episode #1 and the tail number was n72ac (at 12:49 mark). Tracking that number is blocked. Here is the search results from Flight Aware: http://flightaware.com/live/flight/N72AC Plus, it’s a service so we likely don’t use the same one every time.
Please stop repeating the lie that Mike Macintyre took over the toughest job in the country. They had a better record the 3 years before he got there than his 3 years. Also with San Francisco and Oakland in your back yard how hard is that to recruit with a low budget?
That #1 defense did just as bad as UK did against Florida….
219- that’s because mitch told him to be excited. Jonesies will believe whatever matt says so mitch wants to get positive energy out there.
NO WAY FULMER COMES HERE. PERIOD.
I’m just thankful I never again have to watch Joker nervously and continuously adjust his headset while his team is getting thrashed.

I put in the Tail number of the plane from the UK All access, and it says Owner will not let it be tracked. However, it says the plane belongs to Alliance Service Inc out of Wilmington DE.
I can confirm that Mitch has in fact had discussions with LJ from Ironton about being Stoops recruiting coordinator.
FYI ….John Ray was the defensive coordinator for Notre Dame -Over his four years as head coach, Kentucky won only 10 games while losing 33. In 1969 Kentucky finished 2—8; in 1970, 2—9; in 1971 and 1972 the Wildcats’ final record was 3—8 each season. Ray’s contract was not renewed after the 1972 season and he was replaced by Fran Curci.
I’ve heard that plane is headed for Ironton first. Stoops as HC and LJ as team therpudic masseuse
224 – i thought uk was one of the toughest according to matt? When talking about tough jobs, sjsu never came up. I guess you gotta make up stuff when you don’t know anything
In 196, I meant to say “do not”…
#227. I hope you’re right. I just don’t trust Barnhart with hiring a good coach. I think that’s how we ended up getting Brooks, Barnhart just turns to old friends because it’s easier.
Hiring a Kentucky football coach reminds me of the old Groucho Marx saying. “i wouldn’t want to join any club that would have me as a member”. I’m skeptical of any coach that really wants this job.
How could you be following this search and not know Stoops is from Youngstown?
237 I am skeptical of any coach who doesn’t have the confidence that he can win anywhere.
I know a lot of fans aren’t exited about Stoops, But with all of the coaching jobs that are open UK fans should be glad this guy even wants to come here. Lets just hope he gets a good offensive coordinator, but I really think this guy could get some recuits from Florida and Ohio since he is from Ohio. UK could have done worse,
Yep, I’m getting it going #Citation72AlphaCharlie
238- matt only knows wht mitch tells him. He doesn’t do any research and berates callers who know what they are talking about.
Kevin sounds different on the mic and not the phone
UK and Auburn both went winless in the SEC, you tell me when UK beats a Bobby Petrino coached Auburn team! I’m a UK fan and I hope they do beat Auburn with Petrino but I’m not gonna hold my breath. Bobby Petrino >Mark Stoops.
Tulane will join the Big East in all sports. The joke continues.
244. Bear Bryant>Bobby Petrino and as about as likely to be hired.
i will miss all the “petrino or riot” folks.
FYI- Corman’s Challanger is not blocked: http://flightaware.com/live/flight/N950RJ
Alabama, LSU, A&M, Georgia all play a 3-4
247 – I won’t.
Derek Willis is 17 or 18 years old. That explains it.
The Big East… is the new Conference USA… which was the new Metro Conference. That which was will be again. Poor pathetic little brother.
#246. I agree But a Stoops coached UK<Petrino coached Auburn.
250 – they are unintentionally funny
249 – They also have BEATS for their D-Line
Nick Saban runs the 3-4. Granted though, his defense is littered with 4 and 5 stars made for that style, and ours won’t be no matter who the coach is. Even Mumme came to the conclusion that an 8 man front is the defense to run in the SEC. That’s why he hired the guy from Texas Tech (don’t remember his name but he had coached under Spike Dykes out there) who turned out to be a very good DC for us (remember Jeremy Caudill & co. beating up on Dave Ragone?). Of course he never coached under Mumme, but coached under Guy Morris.
254 – I just assume that anyone complaining about not getting Petrino is a young, eligible female who wants a job in the athletic department.
Tulane2BigLeast. LOLOLOL
Oh my, that conference should just stop and allow the remaining members to go independent. They would all be better off. Is this their last year to be a BCS conference?
nice one 257
See Biscuit spreading aviation knowledge.
You people comparing the fsu- fla game to the uk-fla game are idiots the only reason Florida had that many points was turnovers on their side of the field. Also we played Florida st a much different time in the season. Hell that was the first week that they were only playing 1 qb! Plus Florida played like crap in the first half against us. NOt cuz out defense played great. Florida ain’t getting up for uk either. They knew they didn’t have to try to hard to beat the cats! And besides you’re only pointing out 1 game against the # 4 team in the country. What has his defense done the rest of the season. Some of you people are going to bitch regardless cuz you have nothing better to do. Stoops is the only other name that I’ve heard mentioned other than petrino who has been apart of top 10 football teams and know how it needs to be done. I would much rather have stoops than a coach from a mid major. Winning at that level is completely different than doing it in the SEC!
46..Patty…See you shouldn’t judge people by the radio…I am one of the most jolly guys you could know…Getting ready to retire …Have almost 6 beautiful gkids and a young gorgeous wife…I am just passionate about KENTUCKY FOOTBALL…Have a wonderful day…I certainly am!!!!
If they don’t dig up Paul “Bear” Bryant and reanimate his body, hire him and give him a Caddilac
then I’ll never set foot in Commonwealth again!
220, Amen Brother !
Matt is discussing famous Red Heads. How about Thomas Jefferson.
