They need to spend the money to get someone good--and that means that football can not continue to be an after thought.
Not that I am a fan--but John Cooper was a master recruiter and he is not doing a lot right now. Tommy Bowden is also someone that may be obtainable. I feel like Ky could get someone like Norm Chow--but that have to be willing to spend the money. And at this point, I don't have the confidence in Barhardt to do the right thing.
And no offense, (I will probably get killed for this) but Kentucky actually needs to get away from recruiting in state. I know that it is great for the program--but the higher level talent is not there. (At times it is there--but not consistently). The great talent will automatically come to UK if the coaching name is big enough--the rest should not be recruited.
In the SEC--speed kills. Kentucky doesn't have it. They are not going to get it around here.
Good point about Norm Chow....that's who I would be after...a Charlie Weiss type of guy. UK is at the point where it has to be a big turn in order for the talent to flock like it needs to. UL gets plenty of talent from in-state....that's not completely the problem...the problem is who they are getting and what they are doing with those players. You can get some major talent in-state....but in all cases....out of state recruiting is the key element.
