Kentucky vs Vandy Game Thread.

Horrible decision bringing back Towles. Dawson with predictable playcalling in the red zone. Didn't use Williams enough. This was Stoops worst game in his 3 seasons.

Horrible special teams again.

I want new coordinators and if its not 6-7 wins next year, time for a new head coach. Have to start Barker from here on out.

[Katmendo]

Remember when I kept pleading with people not to count this as a win?

Remember, weeks ago, when I pointed out that we would be coming into this game after a four game slide, going on the road, against a team that had a good defense? All while we were playing progressively worse?

Yeah,... Well, the coaches didn't listen either, if it makes you feel better.

Man Pat likes to stare down Baker.

I noticed that....seems like maybe there is some friction going on

[Matt Dillon]

Two things define a successful rebuilding effort, in my opinion, progress and wins. Since I'm seeing neither, my conclusion is that we're not seeing a successful rebuild.

[40bill]

Ah well. I'm only 58. Perhaps I will see the program make that big, big turn.
Maybe.
Perhaps.
Ain't this year though.
Sleep well folks.

[JFCats22]

I agree....

@TWalkerRivals: I hope I'm wrong but Stoops isn't going to get it done at UK. 1,000 chances to win and the Cats come up short.

This is a more talented and veteran team on paper than last year that is playing the same as last year.

[TrueblueCATfan]

Is Stoops in over his head with no head coaching experience before coming to UK.....anybody????

I have no answers as to why the program is not getting better after 3 years

[Lighthouse]

This was a jarring loss for the CATS and CS. I really like Coach Stoops and I think he wants to do what's necessary to win, but it's not working. I can't help but think there's something going on within the team, but when things are going as they are, that may be the first thing that comes to mind. With our current QB situation and 2 OC's in as many years, we may need to just hang on. PT came in and threw an important pass at his WR's feet, not intentional I'm sure, but it keeps happening. I'm sure there will be many suggestions here as to what should happen, but that's my point of view.

[Matt Dillon]

Something's badly amiss somewhere. On paper, we should have enough talent to do much better than we're doing, in my opinion.

[johnkyblue]

That was a fumble... darnit.

[UK39]

I don't know if he is in over his head but he needs to reevaluate how he is doing things.

Look at Mason, his hands were in the offensive cookie jar last year. Now, he went back to his strengths which is defense and calls the plays and lets the OC run the offense. Right now, he tinkers with the playcalling and lets his friend run the defense. It doesn't help having an inept OC.

[CATHYnKY]

I am "spent". I will go next week providing the weather is good. As for going to the next game. Not sure. That could be a massacre I don't want to see. Yes...I am discouraged.

[40bill]

I like the way coach Stoops talks and has passion for the game as well. I did Joker Phillips as well. I have to agree with the statement three years in with higher rated talent and a team has not improved as far as wins...but more importantly to me seems to have lost out being competitive or acting like they have an idea of what to do from coaches on down......it gives me very little hope for the future, even though like 99.9 percent of us I will still be watching and hoping..........

Extremely disappointed and more than extremely discouraged now.

[Catsrock]

That was a fumble... darnit.

Yeah, it was a fumble. Then Vandy turned it over on downs and we got better field position by it being called incomplete. Refs don't get the blame for this one. Coaches do.
