Coach Ortmayer had one year left on his contract- I think the "powerhouse Kentucky football program" could have survived and let the man go out with some dignity. I'm not that impressed with Joker quite honestly, some of his play calling last year seemed to be really lacking. What play calling mistakes cost UK points? Some want to criticize the special teams, but according to courier-journal.com-
In 2004, UK set a school record by blocking nine opponent kicks.
In 2005-UK broke school records for kickoff-return and punt return average, and UK was the only school ranked among the nations top five in both kickoff and punt returns.
In 2006 UK was the only program to rank among the top 10 nationally in both those categories, leading the nation in punt returns.

When has the UK football program ever lead the nation in any category?

For the last 3 years Kentucky fans have held their breath every time the Wildcats lined up for a punt or a field goal attempt because so many were blocked.
