    We know what we are at Kentucky in a tough as hell conference. Win 6 or 7 and sprinkle in a couple of nice years and that is great.

    No matter who the coach will be the fans will run them out… IMHO

    Yeah - it’s never the coaches responsibility for getting fired…

    In some cases the coach definitely needs to be let go. I am specifically talking about Texas A&M and their unrealistic expectations every single year.

    I know a little about coaches and when they should have been let go. I have a basketball coach that should have been shown the door seasons ago…..

    Understood. I think Jimbo should have been fired a while ago - he earned it.

    Stoops dancing with A&M will get him another raise. No reason to leave UK, he can be there for the rest of his career. He already makes 8.6 million a year.

    He should focus on staff upgrades/pay and facilities to attract better coaches/players.

    He even mentioned it earlier this year, he needs better NIL donations.

    Jimbo has been a below average coach. I’m not sure if he quit trying or what but he’s had time and players and hasn’t done much at all.

    He’s been dead in the water for a couple years. He had plenty of time and they weren’t paying for a 500 coach.

    Better paychecks for players is the most affective tool. You can build all the pools you want but cash works better.

    If Clemson can do it, so can Kentucky. All it takes is buying the talent and having the right staff. There’s no magic that only douchebags Saban and Kirby have.

    They're not. He's staying put.
