Knew it was only a matter of time before he'd be leaving Lexington, he's hit the high water mark with UK.

Stoopsdeman! hahahaha

lol as a UT guy..love the hire.. From Jimbo to Mark Stoops lol.. Want Bad Offense? Will Travel

Mark Stoops is a great coach for Kentucky.

Mark Stoops at A&M though? Ehh...idk.

 

[steelerssb]

Also from the Jimbo coaching tree

 

[Thiefery]

aggys must love bad offenses

They probably get him considerably cheaper than Jimbo.

he's making 8.6 mil a year now at KY..

Jimbo was making something over 9 mil a season..

so they are probably closer than they are apart.. but i bet they learned their lesson on handing out 10 year deals or extensions after 3 seasons

I gotta be honest I would be disappointed if I was an A&M fan. I think Stoops is a good coach but I don’t see him doing any better than Jimbo. I see perennial 8-4 under him

 

[Thiefery]

lol stoops isn't going to keep the current roster from looking elsewhere either

crazy.. they decided he was the best guy.. didn't have pressure at a basketball school, hid out in a bad SEC east division and when it came to recruiting he always had an excuse.. first it was resources then it was NIL.

This guy will just carry on the 8-4 type seasons

 

[Thiefery]

Kentucky gonna go back to being Kentucky now

gonna laugh if they hire someone young and look better and do just about the same as Mark.. at half the price

We'll see. They've proven they're willing to pay up.

Stoops has done a great job at UK, he might work out fine at A&M TBH.

I think he is in a very similar situation as Lane Kiffin (who I would get if I were A&M) , I think both have done about all that they realistically CAN do at UK and Ole Miss. A&M can provide resources that UK and Ole Miss just can't.

sucks that brohm is at louisville.. he would have been a terrific fit there
