Lets face it, Kentucky is nothing more than a stepping stone job for an up and comer to get his feet wet in. Do a halfway decent job in an environment where it is tough to succeed and it looks good on your resume when you apply for a good job.

The reason why Stoops is here is because of two things:

(A)This was his chance to get a shot at a head coaching job in a high profile conference.

(B) Nobody else wants the job at Kentucky.

I disagree with you Bob some great coaches have wanted the Kentucky football coaching job and some great coaches have been ran off or passed over! Blanton Collier was a heck of good coach that was 5-2-1 against UT and he got ran off! Bill Arnsparger who is from Paris Kentucky was very interested in the job after Jerry Claiborne retired but was passed over. Arnsparger is the man that hired Steve Spurrier as coach a Florida. Howard Schnellenberger was passed over a few times too he is a former All-American at UK! Think about it Bob, two men who had a huge hand in building two Great football programs UF, and The U of Miami grew up in Kentucky. The 72' perfect season by the Dolphins, Arnsparger was the defensive coordinator and Schnellenberger the offensive coordinator.
