Per a source inside UK athletics, Butch Jones, Sonny Dykes and Mark Stoops have all said "no thanks" to Kentucky.

Damn... Was hoping Jones bailed before Saturday!

“@KyleTucker_CJ: Mike MacIntyre and one other unnamed coach still on UK's radar, per source.”

“@KyleTucker_CJ: Source on UK football search: "All the agents are telling their coaches it's a dead-end job and if they're an up-and-comer, don't touch it."”

They should hire a seasoned college coach with NFL experience who has a faithful side kick for an offensive coordinator.

If Kentucky is being called a dead end job and they play in the SEC....what would be said about UConn if PP is fired?

That's why until we know the future - we stand pat.

You don't leave Cincy or even a UConn for Kentucky. The only thing Kentucky can offer is maybe more money and a chance to be part of the SEC coaching fraternity.

No. I do not agree.

We might know the future today or this week. If it looks good and we're getting that nice new home in a better neighborhood, then we might as well buy new furniture too.

We should keep Don Brown though. The new coach would be smart enough to want that.

UConn is not a dead ender. Was it a dead end for Edsall, if actually had accomplished more, he would have ended up someplace better than MD.

We should be trying to not become a Kentucky.

for a few years until the coach is fired. Kentucky is a terrible job.

Edsall would be in Happy Valley his real dream job if he had waited one more year.

Can we please stop using twitter as a source for valid information? Mark Stoops is their new coach.

About 7 hours late... see above @ 1:42

The right coach can win there. If Vanderbilt can go 8-4, certainly Kentucky could. Will they ever compete with the top of the conference? No, but they can be in the 5-7 range instead of the 12-14 range. It is an uphill battle though, and once a coach fails, he has sullied his name (see Rich Rod).

ETA: I see that they hired Stoops. Hardly see how that is an upgrade over Joker. Seriously. Stoops couldn't do squat at Arizona, and they are traditionally a decent football school.

Point remains. You guys have turned into a bunch of lunatics chasing down every.

 

[Uconnalliance]

Again like Dracula he's back from the dead,life is full of would of,could of,should of at some point RE needs to be apart of the past.

Okay so BY posts are gospel and Twitter is void of valid info and sources?

I didn't put any weight on the tweets - just shared what was being tossed out by the UK team beat writer/ local media in a OT thread on a college football board. My bad

I'll go read the Conference Realignment Board for some more factual based discussions.

Oh - nice to see that other team's beat writers get things wrong too.

 

[Jimmy Serrano]

That guy was a KY beat writer? Gives me flashbacks to the Whipple era.

Stoops sure has an odd way of saying no.................by accepting the job.

 

[Adios]

So much for all this twitter crap. A bunch of people seeking attention. Reminds me of facebook.

Yup... It wasn't like I was quoting HFD (only kidding Dan). His Bio - The Courier-Journal's beat writer covering University of Kentucky athletics after almost eight years covering Virginia Tech for The Virginian-Pilot.

Here is his apology/explanation:

I certainly wouldn't knowingly put out something wrong. When someone connected directly to the program talks, I listen.

This stuff is like the networks trying to call a political race. This social media crap is killing journalism/real reporting.

You've got the wrong Stoops. It wasn't Mark Stoops at Arizona, it was Mike Stoops.

Well..he was at AZ...just wasn't the HC...he was DC for his brother.

Ahh, my bad.
