Rick Brooks spoiled them with his 8-5 seasons.
Worst decision in KY football, the naming of Joker Phillips as HC.
Guess the joke was on KY.
That was a pretty long time ago though. I think they were pleasantly surprised to land a coach with a resume like Stoops (family name/pedigree, had just won a national title at Florida St as the DC) and got their expectations too high.
It's his first head coaching gig and Kentucky is a difficult place to recruit.
I think the expectations came from him going from 2-10 in his first season, then starting 5-1 his second and 4-1 his third season, only to fall apart both seasons.
Fans probably thought he just needed to get over the hump and get over losing some of their winnable close loses, yet this season looks to be the same 'ol same 'ol.
