A couple years back in the transition of UK Football we had some good debate over regional new hires and how they would pan out.

The coaches under the microscope were Stoops ( UK ), Bobby Petrino ( WKU, UoL ), Butch Jones ( UT ), and Tommy Tuberville ( UC ),. So here is the latest, as to where they have taken their programs these last 2 seasons...

After 2 seasons here is what they have accomplished:

Stoops is 7-16 overall, 2-14 in the SEC.

Petrino is 16-7 overall ( 8 wins at WKU, 8 at UoL ), 4-3 in Sun Belt, 5-3 in the ACC. UofL is bowl eligible this season.

Butch Jones is 10-13 overall, 4-13 in the SEC.

Tommy Tuberville is 16-7 overall, 11-3 in the American Conference. Lost to North Carolina in the Belk Bowl 39-17 last year and is bowl eligible again this season.

I gave Coach Stoops three seasons to become bowl eligible. We are a win against Louisville away from accomplishing that after year two which would be a very good accomplishment considering the state Joker left this Wildcat team in.

Butch Jones does have two more SEC wins than Stoops. Knowing what you know now. Would you have chosen differently if hindsight was 20/20?

Thoughts?

Guts response has always been an earnest....PETRINO! He would be at Florida by now...nicker:
