Mark Stoops still has more than 7,000 fewer followers than fans who attended the Blue/White Spring Game, but he's doing well for himself nonetheless.

Barely six months into his tenure as Kentucky head coach, Stoops has more than 43,000 followers, enough to rank him 10th among all college football coaches. Stoops is sixth among Southeastern Conference coaches.

Kelly Hines from the Tulsa World posted the rankings he compiled:

1. Les Miles, LSU: 105,760
2. Brian Kelly, Notre Dame: 91,042
3. Butch Jones, Tennessee: 75,300
4. Mark Richt, Georgia: 65,240
5. Bret Bielema, Arkansas: 57,958
6. Jim Mora, UCLA: 49,239
7. Steve Sarkisian, Washington: 46,377
8. Hugh Freeze, Ole Miss: 45,098
9. Dan Mullen, Mississippi State: 44,697
10. Bo Pelini, Nebraska: 43,162
11. Mark Stoops, Kentucky: 43,068

Since Friday morning - when Hines originally posted the rankings - Stoops has narrowly passed Pelini, his friend and former high-school teammate.
