If not Cal, then who? That said, you can't keep on playing kids against grown men. Sounds easy but with the transfer portal and NIL it's difficult to build a "mature team". But look who is still in the tournament - grown men!
It's pretty telling that Stoops goes through OC's and QB's like most people change underwear. That said, it could be one of two things: 1. They get fed up with Stoops and beat trail out of town at the end of the season, or 2. They are good enough to get a better gig elsewhere and then beat a trail out of town at the end of the season. Both of these reasons mean the same thing for KY, They are stuck where they are in the SEC.
The Cats have a lot of stuff to fix. Chief among them is QB/receiver efficiency and number of plays run. If you run just 55 plays a game you're going to have to hit a lot of home runs. AT 80 plays a game, you have a better chance of dropping a few in. 90% of what KY needs to win is fixable under the right leadership. Overall talent is another thing but will be more difficult to fix. KY has to bid against the Alabama's and Georgia's of the world.
Harbaugh, just like Nick Saben, knows that with the "portal" it is going to be increasingly difficult to acquire and maintain a #1 strength roster until someone puts some sanity back into college football. Michigan could easily go from #1 to #10 in the Big 10 next year due to the portal and NIL. Long term player development is dead for the foreseeable future. Now all he has to do is win. Either way, the odds are not with him. Hope he has negotiated a good exit contract.
I like this DeBoer guy. Be bold or go home. What job do you want? The toughest job in the league. Big up side and big down side.
The thing about running through OC's, Stoops always has someone to blame.
The transfer portal ran Saben out of football. Saben succeeded by getting quality players out of high school, developing them and starting them in their junior or senior season. Todays' good high school players are not patient and with the transfer portal, they don't have to be. It got too difficult for Saben to keep his good players and, quite frankly, he could see that it would going to be just too much work for less return in the transfer portal era. Saben won't be the only high performance coach to call it quits due to the same thing. College football it doomed.
As far as entertainment goes, worst playoff of recent memory. I turned it off at the half. Inconsistent officiating made the game less enjoyable. Outcome was predetermined.
Why on earth would the NCAA get game officials from the weakest conference in College football - ACC. Michigan grabbing and holding all night.
I'm surprised he's coming back but glad he is. He pretty much knows the offense and has proven that he can step in and do a good job. Because of his experience, Allen will give Vandagriff a run for his money when competing for the position which will be good for Vandagriff. He'll have to be on top of his game every practice.
Beck would be foolish to ignore #2 or #3 in the draft for an If-come in 2024. Tomorrow is a promise to no one. It's like winning the lottery. Always take the cash option.
I love journalists. You can always count on them to take un under dog's side. I am not a FSU fan nor an Alabama fan. Consider the following. Louisville, the runner up in the ACC by a very narrow margin to FSU, lost to a KY team that next to last in the Eastern Division of the SEC. Putting FSU in the final four just because they were 12 - 0 would be like putting Cincinnati in the final four for the same reason and we all saw what yielded from that. IMO, the committee did FSU (visa vis the ACC) a favor by not allowing an embarrassing drubbing by Michigan in the final four.
Oh come on. I'm not a GA fan or Alabama fan but does anyone on the board believe that FSU (minus starting QB) could stand toe to toe with any of the selectees without its starting QB. They barely beat Louisville on a neutral field when Louisville could not stand with 8th team in the Eastern division of the SEC on its own home field none the less. I think the committee was embarrassed with putting Cincinnati in the last time.
Next year schedule some quality teams. That way, you will be ready to play a quality team in the SEC championship.
When is the SEC going to put some money into officiating? The inconsistency was embarrasing.
I think you're guilty of wishful thinking. It is quite likely that the SEC will not be in the playoffs thanks to a GA team that was ill prepared to play a real football team up front. The GA lines of scrimmage got whipped plain and simple. This is what happens when you schedule cream puffs and low ranking SEC teams and run up a 12 - 0 season. When you come up against a real football team, you get a whipping because you are not prepared.
The dawgs got whipped on both lines of scrimmage. That was the game.
Well... Next year schedule teams that aren't creampuffs and low ranking SEC teams. That way, you'll be ready for a real football team.
Yeah Melroe is a solid QB but on the other hand, KY can make midlin QB look like a Heisman candidate.
SC next week is a toss up and Louisville is not a gimme this year. They've beaten some real good teams. I keep hoping for some player development from Stoops but it just has not materialized.
Too bad the SEC does not award participation trophies. KY earned one. Take away the 15 points that Mark Stoops gave away to TN. This game might have ended differently.
The Cats embarrassed themselves tonight. They embarrassed the university, the people paying idiotic NIL money and mostly the fans. It's one thing to lose by this margin to a better team but to put this kind of performance against a better. If anyone wants to know how far we have to go to be considered competitive, re-watch this game.
Kentucky embarrassed itself tonight. Not the score; after all it's Ga. But the way they did not fight, the cheap shots and really stupid penalty mistakes. This team embarrassed the University, the fans and the people paying the idiotic NIL money.
Stoops has to have the hardest head in the world. Why won't he give is younger Q'backs a little experience.Do we have to keep losing Qbacks to the portal for him to wake up?
Whatever. Florida comes to town in a couple of weeks with something to prove. Better get this mess figured out.
You and I must have been watching different games. The UK D-secondary was pretty much non-existent most of the afternoon. Devin Leary looked like a talented QB that had not practiced with the team before. Good news is, we found a kicker and the Special Teams are greatly improved.
If the Cats think they are going into any SEC stadium with the secondary play we had Saturday, we are going to lose by 50 points. The Offense needs a lot of work. Thank goodness it was Ball State and not any SEC team. On the positive side Special teams were much improved and I think we found a kicker!
I never have liked Lane Kiffin. Nothing personal but he just seems arrogant. Now I don't think it's arrogance but he just may be the most honest coach in the SEC. Intelligence is often mistaken for arrogance. He just may be the smartest guy in the room and no one likes him for that.
College rating only count for computer football games. When he hits the field for real, we'll see what he's got.
