Mark Stoops will be canned at the end of the season after he putters around to a 3-9 finish

The SEC could be looking at several coaching changes this year.

LSU
UK
Vandy

Possible Ole Miss if the NCAA comes in hard.

And depending on the year they have, maybe Miss State.

I think Bob Shoop could be a candidate for the Vanderbilt job if Mason is canned after the Tennessee game.

IF that were to happen, then I hope we go after Steve Adazzio(sp?) from BC. Seems like they're in for another bad year but his defenses have always played well, that I've seen, despite a putrid O.

Edit: Turns out he's not a D coach.....not changing my post just gonna own it.lmao

Steve Addazio is an offensive guy and the HC at BC. Why is he going to be UT's DC?

Is he? I'm pretty sure he is considered a defensive guy. But tbf I haven't really paid much attention to them other than knowing teams don't seem to score a bunch of points against them.

Edit: Just looked it up and you were correct. I now change my thoughts to whoever his DC is.lol

He was UF's offensive coordinator under Urban after Mullen left. Before OC he was the OL coach. Again, he's the HC so why is he coming here?

Shoop would not succeed at Vandy. He's too much like Mason. Great defensive mind but he doesn't have the personality that it takes to gain traction there. Would struggle badly with recruiting. Vandy needs another James Franklin and Shoop needs to head somewhere with both low expectations and low competition for a few years.

I guess I just got that impression because his D always seems to play great while the O does nothing like typical teams with a former DC for a HC. Thank you for the correction.

Vandy could use another Bobby Johnson

Looking at what UK is paying Stoops, I believe a lot if good coaches would listen if the job was open. He's making 3.5 million this year. He'll make 3.75 in '17, 4 mil in '18, and 4.25 in '19. He's also got an incentive where he gets an extra 250K every year for every win over 6. If they won 9 he gets 750K extra. He also has no buyout.

IMO that's a pretty good salary setup for a HC, especially for UK.

Satterfield the ASU Head Coach would be a good hire for UK

All this talk of firing Stoops. I think it's not a done deal still though. If he beats USCjr, Vandy, Mizzou, New Mexico, Austin Peay, and upsets someone else then he's safe. 1st half UK would have beat all those imo.

Kentucky wears out crashes and burns halfway through the season every year it seems. Here's the way it'll probably end up this season.

Florida L
New Mexico State W
South Carolina L
Alabama L
Vanderbilt W
Mississippi State W
Missouri L
Georgia L
Tennessee L
Austin Peay W
Louisville L

Kentucky 4-8 2-6 in the SEC

"Wears out and crashes" Eh, Kinda.

But more than that it's just a product of the schedule. We always have a harder back 6 than front 6 so it's inevitable. Especially since UL is now last instead of first.

That said, we have looked awfully poor in the last halves, but they weren't games I expect to win anyway.

What's the word in the Bluegrass State? Is Stoops in trouble if he has another losing season?

Absolutely. If he doesn't win 6 he's fired. He's already lost a good amount of the fans.

I still think we have a chance at 6 though. We get Vandy, USCjr, AP, New Mexico State, and MSU at home. Steal one against Mizzou maybe and we get 6. I'd bet on 5 wins though.

UK may have a good crop to choose from with Les Miles and Dan Mullen possibly being fired this season.

Sadly I think Stoops would have helped himself a lot by firing our OL and DC coaches. 4 years in those morons have done nothing. Instead we fire Dawson as a scapegoat, and bring in two guys that got very conservative at times.
