You can't win when you don't have any talent.

When Joker was at UK he was stealing recruits from WKU, Middle Tenn. State, UAB, Miami-OH, Marshall, etc. With Stoops, UK had their highest ranked recruiting class in the history of the program in a few months, and at the moment, UK's 2014 class stands at #7 I believe in the Rivals rankings and top 20 in others.

If you want to win in major college football you have to recruit. You could already see this past season that the best players on the field where freshman or JUCO guys the new staff already brought in. Outside of Avery Williamson & Bud Dupree, I'm not sure any of the Joker players deserved to be playing in the SEC, or major college football.

Football isn't like basketball, you can't take a top 100 team and make it a top 10 team overnight. It's going to take at least 2 more years before UK becomes a serious contender against the big time programs in the SEC.

Next season I only expect 3-5 wins, that's it. In 2015, I'm hoping for a team that can at least contend for a bowl game.

I have saw teams loaded with talent play really bad football and I have saw teams short on talent play good hard nose football! IMO UK didn't look like a well coached team! It was pretty easy to see the RB Mobley should of been the starter from day one! It seemed to me that the kicking game got worse as the year went along! Explain to me how Rich Brooks could have such a dangerous return game using 2 stars guys like Cobb and Lock and Stoops and his staff couldn't even get a guy to field a punt last weekend against UT with 3 star guys??? That's a sign of a poorly coached team. I am glad you are all positive but what I have saw is totally different! Instead of spending practice time teaching basic stuff (fielding punts) (Blocking) (Tackling) Stoops and this bunch were always pulling the trigger on some trick play! Trick plays waste practice time, the only one that worked was the fake field goal against UF! Look at the QB play this season, first of all they couldn't decide which one was worse in fall camp so they had to make it a year long battle and I still can't tell you which one sucks the most! Both QB's have major flaws, and a good coach spots this by week 4 and plays a younger guy with a high up- side, giving him a chance to learn Neal Browns system and gain experience! Next season UK is either playing one or both Flawed guys again or throwing a Rookie to the wolves! IMO that's a waste of 8 games! If I was giving Stoops a grade for this season it would be a C- he gets the C- because of how the D played with little or no experience in the defensive backfield and maybe the worst LB core in the SEC since the Bad Vandy teams of the 80's! PS He should of kept Dupree at LB and started Hatcher at DE week one!
