WRK - Question about Mark Stoops hire...

  • Doesn't it just seem odd that within 48 hours of Jimbo Fisher's spill about staying at Florida State, his DC takes a position at one the worst head-coaching opportunities available? I mean, KY? Really? Great hire for KY. Don't get me wrong. But he jumped at the bottom of the barrel SEC job? And so quickly.

    It just seems odd. Or was it just opportunity? I wonder. It doesn't instill alot of confidence in the words of Jimbo Fisher about staff stability IMO. I don't know why Stoops would feel rushed to take the KY job. What? KY can't wait until after next weekend like everyone else?

  • Its an SEC gig and if and when he builds it up to what Brooks was doing he will be a star and cash in like no other. UK has a ton of $$ to pay a coach that can elevate their program to SEC respectiability. IMO, he gets the CATS to a winning program in 2 years. Especially with the staff of recruiters he will asemlble. Stoops is bringing half of Jimbo's staff with him and he aint happy!
