A lot depends on who they hire for our OC. We get the right OC and we won't have to worry much about recruiting or begging for transfers. The right OC will likely have top notch kids lining up outside his office door begging to try out for him! An OC like Garrett Riley or Phil Longo would be that kind of OC! They've been successfully engineering some of the best offenses in FBS for the past few years! That's the kind of thinking mode we need our Head Coach and AD in! Getting the coaching personnel in here that young, kids with great abilities and great attitudes would want to line up outside their doors begging to play for! That takes hiring assistants with proven very successful records at the FBS level!

A lot depends on what kind of NIL deals Mitch Barnhart and his people can arrange for our players and prospects! They're going to have to go after the big dollar advertisers in our State! Toyota, Amazon, the Distillery industry, UPS, Marathon oil and even the Corvette plant! Plus make some serious changes in the Offensive coaching make-up! Not just the OC either!

Well, we need help from Florida in Jacksonville too. And Georgia needs to beat Tennessee also. Then beating Georgia and Tennessee will really mean something!

Actually we held their offense to just 10 points. Our offensive coordinator gave 'em the other 7 by dialing up the same 3rd down play one too many times!

I just hope if they do have a good season again, that Barnhart gets off his ass and starts helping recruit some bigger NIL deals with some of the corporate folks around. His dislike of the NIL is going to really hurt recruiting at UK and possibly cost them a good coach! There's too many big time potential corporate sponsors around these parts with the presence of the car companies and Amazon, not to mention Kroger's and such that all can be recruited to help UK recruit some big time players with good NIL deals. But Barnhart refuses to help recruit them because he don't like the idea of NIL.

The big issue with Stoops is: Barnhart's unwillingness to court or even help the coaches court big time NIL deals for his players. It's going to kill their recruiting if Barnhart don't grow up and smell the roses! He doesn't like the NIL. Well, too bad. Get with the program or get out! Or, he could lose Stoops to a more open program. Stoops has complained about this problem in the past with the AD!
