Kentucky Wildcats (official thread)

Stein could be a good hire. If kentucky has some money to get the players he needs for his system, they certainly could improve.
Just sayin'; Yeah,

1) he could be Curt Cignetti 2.0; however, I seriously doubt it.

Coaching career (HC unless noted)
Playing career
2008–2012 Louisville
Position Quarterback
2013 Louisville (GA)
2014 Louisville (QC)
2015–2017 Texas (QC)
2018–2019 Lake Travis HS (TX) (AHC/OC/QB)

2022 UTSA (Co-OC/QB)
2023–2025 Oregon (OC/QB)
2026–present Kentucky
He just a former Louisville QB with some decent assistant coaching experience.

2) Power 4 college football teams need at least $25M - $30M to be highly competitive these days. Maybe even more in the really highly competitive SEC. Somehow I doubt that Kentucky (an acknowledged "basketball school") will allocate that much NIL money to their football program. Kentucky finished in 11th place in the SEC last season. Is it really worth it to the school to fund a lesser amount of money (i.e. $10M) to football and maybe move up 5 or 6 spots in the SEC standings when that additional money could make their basketball team a legitimate contender for a Natty again?

2026 scUM Shenanigans, Arguments, Arrogant Twatwaffles, Emasculated Cucks, Feckless Marmots, Dirty Cheaters "Mid"chigan

I'm guessing this is the type of "allowed negative press" we are going to get


It'll get buried quick and never be seen again. It already is pretty much, you got to scroll down a bit on ESPNs home page to even see it.
The firm spent about six months conducting 350 interviews, chasing down about 90 calls to a tip line and analyzing more than 20,000 pages of documents. The bill is already approaching $12 million.

Just sayin': The Jenner & Block investigation was a total joke; the results were determined even before they stated, i.e. scUM has no "widespread problems". Needless to say, Jenner & Block does not have any subpoena power for their investigation. Nobody was forced to respond and those that did weren't under oath. I'm betting that key people like Conner Stalions, Matt Weiss, and Jim Harbaugh, etc. were never even contacted; and if they were, none of them returned their calls. The law firm got a very nice $12M payday and scUM got exactly what they wanted:

1) they can say it was thoroughly/honestly/fairly investigated (even though it wasn't) and
2) there were no widespread problems were found ........:lol:

QB Kirk ‘Nightmare On’ Herbstreit (Frosted Quips, False Narratives Clown, Afraid of THE Lunatic Fringe)

“See how he goes left here? For people at home, in football you can go right, you can go left or you can go straight. See how he immediately decides to go left and uses his legs to run with!?”
And you can go in all of those directions in phase if you first put your foot in the ground.

That might be true now. But at the start after the cheating scandal first hit, I think you could argue there was a collective effort by the sports media to avoid talking about it at almost all costs. They few moments they did discuss it, it was mostly just laughed off as "not a big deal"

There was no settlement for Tatgate. The more aggressive they were the more attention they got.

There was clearly a settlement with Warde and the school is holding up their end by having the writers do the fluff pieces. They can pay for that or threaten access over that or just rely on sportswriters laziness and hand them the story to be published as written.

It’s just different economics. Not a plot.
