I know many are impressed with Stoops and his 11 victories, he may be too good for Miami.

No kidding. Too bad he didn't lose that Eastern Kentucky game that I attended a few weeks ago. If so, I doubt we'd be seeing his name.

I didn't see any signs of special coaching ability on either side of the ball for the vast majority of that game. Just the opposite. It was mostly panic. No identity on offense. Kentucky fans seated nearby were complaining nonstop, saying the substitution patterns made no sense, just like his entire tenure there.

The only reason Eastern Kentucky blew that 14 point lead in the final 5 minutes is that their boundary corners insisted on playing 10 yards off the ball. Kentucky threw quick outs during the final two drives and got one cheap gain after another.

Kentucky's stadium is much nicer than I realized. I was very jealous in comparison to what we have. Besides, the band played My Old Kentucky Home twice. It's going to be difficult to pry away a coach from benefits like that. Lexington is like a postcard with those rolling horse country hills.

I'd like to find a young arrogant defensive specialist with rare qualities. Somebody in the 40ish range. I'm into my mid 50s and have already detected cognitive decline in some areas, and less energy. I'm convinced a younger guy is more often the correct choice. Dan Campbell with the Dolphins has a chance. I'm not sure he's special enough but at 39 with a tough guy persona and field emphasis he's got some of the boxes checked.

In betting games for 3 decades it's been easy to identify the pattern that older coaches don't like the dirtywork, like running the football or actual defensive intensity. They prefer the softer route, more often than not. Don Shula fell victim to relying on passing above everything else, when earlier in his career he never would have succumbed to that type of thing. Just the opposite. He was hard nosed and run oriented. It was easy to predict the same path for Bobby Bowden, who previously ripped Spurrier for not running the ball and then stopped doing it himself, along with a comically declining defense. I'm worried that Butch at this age wouldn't really care about defense. Nick Saban is a rarity to continue to push for defensive ferocity well into his 60s. Of course, Saban is a hard *** and probably doesn't realize he's into his 60s. He'll be snapping at the hospice worker in his final hours.
