Why? He's the 15th highest paid coach in the country, making $6.25m this year, at a school that doesn't demand anything close to top 15 results. As long as he wins 6+ games there he's fine.As much as I agree, don’t give these idiots a common enemy. Let them tear each other apart.
On Stoops, he’s a good coach that’s probably as good as Kentucky will ever get. I think he really needs to get a bigger job while he can. His recruiting is eroding and they look a lot worse on the trail this year. A school like them cannot afford to have a bad recruiting year.
And? Compared to the previous seven decades, he’s head and shoulders above the rest.Stoops is 29-45 in the SEC at UK
Kentucky has always played sh*tty non-conference schedules, yet he’s vastly outperforming every coach that has been there since Bear Bryant.The only difference in stoops and other UK coaches is he has beaten Louisville and Miss St more often than not and has had some lucky bounces vs Mizzou. They don’t play anyone tough OOC and they don’t play Bama
I was born and raised in Kentucky. There's only a handful of people who care more about football. Their passion has always been, and always will be basketball. That's what makes it sweet that Barnes has gotten the better of CalAs someone who has been kicked off of multiple Kentucky message boards I can attest that a loss following a kentucky basketball game has about 10x the number of people signed on compared to a loss following a football game. It definately is a basketball school.
Also anytime your basketball arena is named after a national championship winning coach while your football stadium is named after a grocery chain you probably are a basketball school
There are a bunch of people on here who wouldn't be impressed by a coach if he took Montana A&M into SEC and went 6-6 every year.And? Compared to the previous seven decades, he’s head and shoulders above the rest.

Barnhart is just trying to misdirect. If he can get the media to focus the attention to him instead of his 2 bickering coaches then he’s doing his job. I don’t think it’s going to work though. Ironically, this coming season has the opportunity for both sports to have bigger years than they have in a long time . I hate to say it, but UK basketball is going to be ready to go this season.Barnhart trying to blame the media for creating this is pathetic; your bball coach opened his big mouth, nobody forced him to say anything.
He’s accomplished mediocrity against an easy schedule. He’s done well “for Kentucky” but much like the other “great coaches” some here have preached only to see them struggle at real programs, He really hasn’t done anything except beat SC more than most UK coachesThere are a bunch of people on here who wouldn't be impressed by a coach if he took Montana A&M into SEC and went 6-6 every year.
They think college sports is like professional sports where everybody is on a level playing field, and consider going 29-45 at UK to be like going 29-45 at Alabama.
I haven't said, or seen anybody else say, that he'd be awesome at a "real program."He’s accomplished mediocrity against an easy schedule.
