Short of a scandal or two win season, I don't think terminating Stoops is the right way to go.

Stoops was gone until A&M fans and boosters threw an absolute fit.

Stoops leaving Kentucky and performing well at Texas A&M likely would have left most Kentucky fans missing him once the reality of finding a replacement set in.

Funny to think about, but if Stoops leaves for A&M and the Aggies pay his buyout, what are the chances that money goes back into the football program versus going toward Cal's buyout?

I hate the mindset that we have to stick with our (grossly overpaid and underperforming) coach because no one who might do a better job would ever actually take the job. Always turns out to be false. Plenty of very good and/or soon to be great coaches out there who would jump at the chance (and $$$). Other programs find them year in and year out. Not saying it's time to fire Stoops, it's not. But his seat might start getting warm...
