Frankly, that is a better hire than I thought they'd get; so, maybe, UK will rise up again to mid-level in the SEC. Hopefully, they will not lose to WKU again.

Fan blogs were pushing for Bobby P. but I never thought the administration ever considered him. And, speaking of Bobby P., I think some of the lustre has worn off him as I am not hearing much talk of him lately considering all of the good jobs opening up.

I would have to agree with swampdaddy on this, certainly on the basis of same recognition. I didn't think he was a top notch DC at FSU. But it's still a one notch move upward for Kentucky.

It's rumored the Auburn is talking to Petrino. I don't know what Auburn is thinking, they might just be desperate.

There is NO WAY I would hire Petrino with his track record.

Yesterday it was rumored that UL Coach Strong talke with Auburn (so Auburn rumors are flying). He vehemently denied this; but, "only the Shadow knows what lies in the minds of men". And, with that, I've sure given away my age.

Stoops has been a great DC at FSU...where ya been?

FSU in the 2009 season before Stoops...#109 Total Defense. A horrible defensive team. Stoops, in two years had FSU in the Top 10 in defense and this year, his third year, in the Top 5.

2012 FSU Defensive Rankings...Total Defense...#2...Scoring Defense #7.... Rushing Defense #5..... Passing Defense #3
