    I don’t think it’s been silent for a few days, at least for DB.

    If the DB coach is coming, then he's not in the NFL.

    Which is fine. I can't imagine many NFL coaches want to be have a "boss" who's in his 20's.

    I AM thrilled to death that it's less likely to be an NFL coach.

    Good thing he's not in his 20's. This age thing is way overblown.

    I believe the reference is to Austin Armstrong who was last reported as 29 years old. He may now be 30.

    See the post on Will Harris, current Chargers DB coach. Maybe it's just coincedence that he's taken to following all of the Fcurrent florida DBs if I understood that post correctly. But to your point, NFL asst coaches will be under contract and coaching into the first week of January. So its hard to square the rumbles from recruit parents with the other speculation

    Funny how Stoops and Kentucky beat us every year with their NFL pipeline coaching staff.

    Well, I hope the new DB coach is not another "steal" like Raymond was from LSU.

    For sure, it's like they save it all for the Gators the last few years, I guess 30 years of pent up rage spilled out.

    I’m okay with failed NFL coaches like Saban, Sprurrier, Meyer, Harbaugh, et.al.

    Especially since the DL and LBs don't do a great deal of tackling.

    I have a few UK friends. They save their rage for the basketball court. Maybe Stoops puts extra emphasis on that game, I dunno but they've had our number lately.

    We beat them for almost 40 years, so they win a few now and then. It's like taking a fish's money at the poker table. Eventually, the fish will win a few hands, but you're still way ahead, and that's where we'll be again, eventually. Kentucky has been marginally better the last few years than their history says they are, and we've been dramatically down, which they've benefitted from. Every program has down periods of irrelevance. Bama did, Georgia did, Tennessee did, fsu did, USC did, etc. Even at Kentucky's best, which has occurred during the Stoops era, they still average 6+ losses a season, and even their best two seasons had 3 losses. Vandy beat Tennessee 5 out of the last 12 seasons. In that same time frame we've beaten KY 8 times.
