Why would Stoops leave the SEC for us? Because our "history" was good or because he coached here. Come on now. UK is in much better shape then us for the future.

No.

He would leave because he simply cannot compete with Alabama, LSU, Florida, Texas A&M, Georgia, and South Carolina on a yearly basis.

Kentucky has a ceiling, and he knows that.

Ruffin McNeil provided he can bring that OC (or an equally talented one) with him and keep a lot of recruiters on the staff. Need a football mind and that guy does more with less.

Still haven't learned, I see. We don't want a guy who takes a bad program and beats other bad programs who have bigger names. We need someone who has done it at the highest levels of college football, at least as a coordinator or Asst HC.
 
Butch. Its that easy. He did it before, he can do it again. LMAO at the people who bring up UNC as a failure. That team was freaky good that he assembled, he caught a bad break with the NCAA.

I think hes got a chip on his shoulder. It would be gross what he would do here.
 
Simple question, does the ACC want Butch Davis as our coach or have al tin and Doritos run the team further into the ground.

Butch would be just what the doctor ordered becayse other accomplished coordinators wouldnt mind joining his staff and i feel like the kids down here would definitely like the idea of playing under coach davis. Alot of those otger coaches are a question mark until hired and even then theyd been trying to prove themselves whereas butch davis is well known.

Kingsbury (Texas Tech)-he currently makes less than Al
Reilly (Oregon St.)
Fitzpatrick (Northwestern)
Johnson (Tulane)
Hudspeth (UL-Lafayette)
Barry (UL-Monroe)
Gundy (Oklahoma St.)-long shot, but he might feel he has a better chance to succeed here
Patterson (TCU)
 
Butch is a great talent evaluator and recruiter. He has always been a bad coach. Everywhere he has been his teams vastly under perform their talent level.

Mike Shula

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Shula

Mike Shula (born June 3, 1965) is an American football coach who is currently the offensive coordinator for the Carolina Panthers of the National Football League (NFL). Shula has been with the Panthers since 2011, when he was hired as their quarterbacks coach. He was promoted to offensive coordinator after Rob Chudzinski was hired to be the head coach of the Cleveland Browns. Shula served as the head football coach at the University of Alabama, his alma mater, for four seasons, from 2003 to 2006.

On January 25, 2007, the Jacksonville Jaguars named Shula their quarterbacks coach.[12] Shula oversaw quarterback David Garrard’s development from becoming a full-time starter in 2007 to making the Pro Bowl in 2009. In Shula’s first year with the Jaguars, Garrard ranked third in the NFL with a 102.2 passer rating – an almost 23-point improvement from the previous season – threw an NFL-low three interceptions and established a team record with a 64.0 completion percentage.

On January 21, 2011 the Carolina Panthers named Shula as their quarterbacks coach. In 2011, Shula helped quarterback Cam Newton earn Associated Press Offensive Rookie of the Year after turning in one of the most prolific rookie seasons in NFL history, passing for 4,051 yards and accounting for 35 total touchdowns. In 2012, under Shula's tutelage, Newton improved on his Rookie-of-the-Year quarterback rating from 2011 with an 86.2 mark while rushing for more than 700 yards for a second straight season. Newton's 7,920 passing yards from 2011-12 surpassed the previous mark for a player’s first two seasons held by Peyton Manning.
